[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aranachristianjay:
Why my HTC Desire z Can't be detected by my laptop, i've tried connecting it to the various usb ports of my laptop but still cannot be detected, i've do hard reset on my phone, download HTC sync, install drivers, but still my PC cant detect it, everytime i connect my Phone to PC it only charge but doesn't have any notifications like USB Connected, even on my PC, but when I tried to connect my Nook Tab. and samsung galaxy y using same cable and pc, my pc detects it, what should i do, please help me..:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
either wrong drivers/not installed properly, usb port bad on phone, bad usb cable (unlikely)

most often drivers are the problem
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aranachristianjay:
I Think it is not a problems in the drivers because as i know if it is a problem regarding the drivers the PC must pop-up a notification saying unrecognized device, but in my situation there is nothing happened when i plug my phone to my PC the only thing that happened is that my Phone is charging.. my main purpose why i've wanted to connect my HTC to my PC is that i wanted to use the adb to downgrade and root my phone and also after that to change my rom.., do you have any suggestion to downgrade and root my HTC which i am not going to connect it to a PC ?.

Thanks in advanced men..:)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
not a safe way to do it but if you feel like it you can try visionary. if the wrong drivers were installed then it may not pop up with anything, you can use certain applications to test if any drivers pop up (just google search)

otherwise try and clean out the usb port
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyGalaxy:
I think u should try to change usb cable... might be bad usb...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matuo:
Maybe you uninstalled the drivers? Have you checked it in windows hardware proporties?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aranachristianjay:
actually i've installed it's drivers in my pc, and also my data cable is new.. i've tried it on lot of pc but still it can't be detected..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sil_rain:
try to reinstall / update drivers from off site
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dareczekpl:
i know silly question, but .. Did you try changing connection type on your phone ??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8er_boi47:
Just to confirm try using same cable & phone on some other PC, if it works there there's probably some crazy windows error on ur laptop which is next to impossible to fix, only solution is to format ur PC & install fresh windows. If you phone + cable does not work on other PC there probably something wrong with either, try using same cable on different phone & vice versa.

hope this helps :)

Hi i'm new to the att htc one x, just rooted, and installed twrp... then flash cleanrom5. I also noticed clean has a kernel, i did not see an install guide, but i've installed kernels before on my captivate. So what i'm wondering if it's as easy as....

1. place kernel on phone storage

2. reboot into recovery

3. install kernel from recovery

4. reboot

If there anything i am missing or if i am completely off could someone please help me out with this?

Thank you :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If you are on the 1.14 hboot (rooted on 2.20 firmware) you can't flash kernels from recovery. You have to do it using fastboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cannon19932006:
Would you mind walking me through that process?

Unless this makes any difference "CleanROM V is based on the latest Asian 2.29 RUU which is Android 4.0.4, Sense 4.1 and is ODEXED!"

not sure if that means i am on 2.29 rooted.

I don't see anything about flashing kernels in that thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
the boot.img has the kernel in it, it has to be flashed from fastboot.

heres the kernel. dl.dropbox.com/u/31360541/CleanKERNEL/CleanKERNEL 1.1 - HOX.zip

flash the boot.img from fastboot, then flash the zip from recovery. fastboot flash method http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33493959&postcount=2

edit: btw, what exploit did you use to achieve root? Was it the x-factor exploit?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Not the firmware you are on now. The firmware you originally achieved root on. More importantly, what version is your hboot (go to hboot, and the version number is listed)?

If your phone was purchased with 2.20 firmware, and you rooted using the new X-factor exploit method, you have the 1.14 hboot.

Hboot 1.14 plugged the hole by which flashing kernels from recovery was possible. So it can only be done by fastboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cannon19932006:
i used x-factor yes, and yes it's 1.14, thank you both for the help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Ok, since you used x-factor, make sure to flash your boot.img before flashing the ROM :)

Same with a kernel. Flash boot.img then the kernel zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cannon19932006:
I already flashed the rom, just not the kernel, i don't remember flashing the boot.img, just following the instructions on the rom's page here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655011

"Must have twrp Recovery installed with unlocked bootloader! CWM Recovery will cause serious issues!!!

Copy ROM to storage

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe data / Factory Reset in Recovery!

Install ROM and Aroma installer will start.

Choose Options

Let install complete

Reboot to System"

That's how i flashed this rom anyway.

That's funny your in schertz, i live like 5 miles from there in Universal city lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Well, If cleanROM is using the same Kernel as stock, then you got lucky. If they use the same kernel, no need to flash boot.img.

If they are different kernels and you dont flash boot.img, you are now in a bootloop

lol Universal City :P

not bad
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cannon19932006:
Sorry for so many questions lol, just making sure i do this right.

okay so basically i want to download the kernel and the fastboot drivers posted in your post.

Extract the fastboot drivers, and then unzip the kernel, taking the boot.img from it and placing it into the fastboot directory that i just unzipped.

I then want to boot my phone into hboot and select fastboot

open the command prompt and take it to where the fastboot.exe is.

then type fastboot flash boot boot.img into the command prompt

After all this is done i want to go into recovery and flash the zip of the kernel?

Is that all right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Yeap. Don't "extract" the zip, just drag the boot.img out of the zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cannon19932006:
Success, THANKS! :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cimenta:
Why do you say to flash the boot.img and then zip if boot.img has the kernel in it?

Thank you. R
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Because the new hboot makes it to where you cant flash kernels through recovery. only fasboot
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cimenta:
So why the second flash if the boot.img was flashed via fastboot?

I am just lost in these. Could you recommend any reading except this forum for me to get more understanding? So I don't do anything to my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
It wasn't.

boot.img can't be flashed from recovery, it skips it.

Thats why you flash boot.img from fastboot then the ROM from recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963896
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cimenta:
So although ROM zip file contains boot.img when flashing boot.img won't be flashed? That's why we need to flash is separately? Is it important to flash it before flashing ROM?

Thank you.R
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
I'm also, learning as I go. From reading and multiple failed attempts at flashing ROMs and kernels, I have found the correct way with 1.14 Hboot.

-dl the rom/kernel

-extract only the boot.img file

- save both .zip and boot to your desired folder.

-go into recovery and mount sd card to pc

-transfer .zip file to your phones sd card

-get back into fastboot on your phone

-transfer boot.img to fastboot folder

-from fastboot cmd prompt(if you have win7, open your folder with fastboot in it hold shift+right click and open cmd)

-type "fastboot boot boot.img" without quotes

-go back into recovery and clean cache/delvik

-then install .zip that you copied to the sd card

You should be good to go from there.

If I have left anything out, please feel free to correct.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dfin13:
I purchased the Note 2 in hopes of having a little better reception at my desk here at work. If I walk to a window, I get full bars, but my desk is in the middle of the floor, so I get one bar or none. Sadly, the Note 2 didn't change that (I didn't think it would, just hoped it had a better antenna). I'm probably going to return it this afternoon, and switch to Verizon next month when it arrives there. My coworker's S3 on Verizon has full bars, and he sits 3 feet away from me, but he also has 4G on his (can't figure out how to turn it off to test his 3G only).

I like Sprint, and if I knew LTE would change these reception woes, I'd just tough it out until it hits Memphis. Has anyone had a problem getting 3G, but then saw their reception increase with LTE? The older 4G would not reach my desk with my 3D, so I'm skeptical, but never hurts to ask.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
don't change carriers just because your desk is in a bad spot. I can guarantee you there are places in your building, or even other buildings where the roles will be reversed.you will be the one with signal and him with nothing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dfin13:
Unfortunately, this is where I spend 8 hours a day, and there's no chance of me moving to a different part of the floor. When I'm at home, I use Wifi, so it's not an issue, but here at work, my phone is basically useless because of Sprint's weak signal. I can move to Verizon with no penalties, and with my corporate discount the rate is the same (unlimited data goes away, but I've never gone over 2GB a month), it's just a bunch of trouble I'd rather not go through if Sprint's LTE is strong.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 666pluto:
I have the galaxy for about 2 weeks now, and I'm afraid to pick it out the table with it's current cheap original case!

I'm looking for something new, something to guard it from falls and prevent any damage! I'm on a contract for the next 3 years, can't afford anything happen to the phone during this time.

basically, I want both protection for the back and the screen, so i came to the 3 options i mentioned in the title.

I don't care how much inches the case adds to the phone, if it's comfortable or not, if the screen loses it's quality! i only care for the case to give the best protection possible, one that will last for a while as well and not lose it's quality in a few month (something i heard about the defender).

so what do you think? which case answers this need best?

all are the same price from what i saw, 50$. i don't mind putting them, but are there any cheaper suppliers? but not with the chance of buying a fake case, prefer to spend the 50$ fully...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaivorth:
Just got my Nexus, won't be using it much until my case/screen protector arrive!

What ROM do you guys recommend, I narrowed it down to a couple.

Glazed Jelly Bean

ParanoidAndroid (I think there was another popular variant of this as well?)

Looking for just silky smooth, stable, long battery life, Improvements in audio quality, picture quality or anything else welcome too.

What do you guys recommend for a launcher as well?

I might consider dual booting Ubuntu on this thing too! Does it work well?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahshah:
I would recommend keep PA for first week, flash franco r25 kernel and xlouder patch.

Next week flash Glazed with above combo. After that decide for yourself which you like more :p

I have flashed 6 differenr ROMS, its fun I change it every week.:D

So dont ask, try it out for yourself all different roms all are good in their own way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aLPaSLaN07:
My advice is to combinate 3 roms with 3 kernels

Roms:

Glazed

SmoothRom

PA

Kernels:

Franco

M-kernel

Bricked

There will be 9 combinations. Flash first combination of your choosing, then install all the apps you will use, then batch back them up with titanium backup.. Then everytime you flash another combination, batch recover all the apps to newly flashed rom.. It'll take 30 mins at most to install all from scratch.. I'd advice you try each for at least 2 days (roms and kernels need to settle) then find the one best fits your needs..

Mine is Glazed + Franco R25 (for 2 days)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I tried PA and it didn't do it for me. I dislike tablet UI and there are still traces of it even if you choose not to use tablet UI. Such as in settings, the main page is hard coded to display dual panel view. You can change it so it doesn't show dual panel in sub menus but it doesn't help me and it's done through DPI changes. There are also going to be blue boxes around the home screens when you move between screens. There is no option to change text color on the lock screen. I've read many good things about PA but those minor UI things bother me to the point that I don't want to use it. I'm not a fan of tablet mode on the 7", but that's just me.

Right now I run xenonHD and is working great for me. Does what I want and haven't noticed any bugs. I use it with Franco kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haizum74:
I have to say Ive been looking at the ROMS on offer and having a hard time making a decision which one to pick. Usually I dont have any bother but with this tablet I still cant decide. I guess we are spoilt for choice lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
I ordered the Poetic since it was $5 on Amazon and I like the Poetic case on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I also ordered the official Samsung Protective Cover because of the 50% coupon off. I actually don't mind the thickness of the Poetic case but the lower right corner "lip" does not hold the phone tight enough. It needs to come up and over more like the front. However, it did not slip off the case while I was holding it upside down so the other 3 corners did a good enough job. The thing I like about the Poetic case is that when you snap the front cover shut, it will do a very good job of protecting the phone should it slip while you pull it out of your pocket. It does however, double the thickness of the phone.

The official Samsung case which is more like a TPU case also came in. It is very thin and I wish the front lip would rise a little higher to protect the front glass in case of a drop. Most of you might like it and think that it is thick enough. Anyway, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I am still waiting for this case to come in. I returned the official flip cover case since it was too thin and offers no drop protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cpm:
I linked to that last flip case in another thread. I really like the way they've used the raised corner protection on the case. It looks like it should protect the phone no matter what angle a fall might impact on.

I'm eager to hear what you make of it once you've received it, along with a few photos of it on the phone, especially how much higher the raised corners rise above the screen. Tia :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cherylbaker:
What's the fourth picture of ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cruecu:
I ordered the Poetic slimbook case that released today. All the Poetic slimbook cases get great reviews on youtube for other devices. 4.95? The price was so cheap, I thought it was a mistake. The slimbook case looks very similar to the 50 dollar flip cases that are more stylish. Crazy deal. The hardbacks like this white one are ok..kinda generic plain looking.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
That's the GN2 in the official Samsung protective case that I got from Samsung for $15 plus shipping.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
Let me know how that one works out. How secure it holds the phone and more importantly, is there any protection at the top of the phone. Makes me want to order another one but I already have 2 cases plus one more coming and I only have one phone!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
Yes, I really like the raised corner shown in the picture. It is coming from China so at least another week before I get it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cpm:
Aquaholik, any further feedback on the Poetic case? Would you recommend it?

My main concern is the added bulk, how is it for fitting in the pocket? Also how easy for removing? I might use the case for home use (to protect if kids use), and a TPU case when I'm out and about.

I have one ordered one from Amazon, but can still cancel as not shipped yet.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
It is very easy to remove. No problem going in and out of my pocket since I wear slack pants most of the time. Jean pocket, forget it. I am neutral on it. It was $5, a bit thick, looks plain but offer good protection. I lay it against a flat surface on every angle and don't see any gap in drop protection. The stock case is nice but this is a big phone with lots of glass and that mm of raised lip isn't going to protect the phone when drop face down on concrete. So I am putting all my hope on the Ebay case. When I am out and about, the phone will stay in the poetic case.

Photosphere is working, in that it doesn't cause FC's and doesn't say device not supported. The problem is that it needs a gyroscope which the vibrant doesn't have. The link also has 4.2 keyboard with gestures (swype).

All of the zips are flashable. Make sure to rename gallery.apk or googlegallery.apk to .bak or delete it so the updated apk will work.

For the keyboard, rename or delete latinIme.apk to .bak

There is also a DL link for the new clock. You might need to delete the old clock first but don't quote me on that. Its pretty cool but the alarm keeps causing the app to force close on me.
