To enter Recovery: Reboot then Hold Power + Home buttons. When phone turns on and you see android logo, stop holdin power button but keep holding home button until you are in Recovery

If you are on RFS: Download ext4-formatter.zip to the root of your sdcard & Flash it through Recovery

Download the ROM you chose, to the root of sdcard

Download ClockWorkMod Recovery to root of sdcard

Reboot to Recovery. Flash CWM & Reboot to recovery again. Wipe data & cache. Format system.

Select the ROM and flash it. Then Reboot.

You can search for videos on YouTube to guide you even more on this...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your response. I am dling CWM from your link right now.

For the most part can I do these installs without a PC?

Next thing, if I run into problems and I need to go back to my stock build I can create a backup of it after I install CWM right?

Thanks,

Glenn
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Frankin96:
Yeah, but only with cwm with rfs support
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wasa67:
You cant make a backup of the stock rom, because it uses the rfs file system, while CM uses ext. If you want to revert back to the original stock, with original recovery, then you need to use ODIN, doing this will also reset everything on your phone. If you use the rfs version of cwm, you can then make a back of your stock rom. But you wont be able to flash any of the latest roms out there.

P.S. IF you do flash CM7, can you tell me how the call quality is, when you run CM7 vs stock. tnx ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] asharx:
success

So far so good. I am just putting some apps back onto my phone now.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Just have to configure my apn & proxy app to get data working. Then I will have to figure out how to change launchers for the Mod I put on.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] db416:
Peter, I have PM'd you, but will post this info publically so others' can help (at will)..

My 5660M and setup is a mess, and I want to start from the beginning again.

Here it is (please don't laugh):

1) I'm using a defunct, abandoned ROM, ArpegGioMod, that has been getting worse and worse.. force closes, usb tether doesn't work, WiFi is intermittently having issues, etc. this could either be due to my ROM (think so) or my Windows box setup.. not even gonna both with re-odexing, as I don't want to continue using this abandoned ROM

2) I'm using Link2SD, because I was too foolish to properly install A2SD; L2SD has screwed up app performance on numerous occasions..

3) I'm using an outdated CWM (I think)

I have two other Gio's, both of which are stock and I have rooted and unlocked successfully. They are sitting here until I find a foolproof way of installing an easy to use ROM with functionality in mind.

What should my next step be? Why are Canadian phones such a pain in the ass to work with?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
Hey ,

I have a HTC desire ( Bravo PVT1 Ship S-OFF, HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary)) and it wont run recovery.

Reflashing Recovery.img works with fastboot, but still wont run recovery , it hangs on the HTC screen.

What started the problems : First i rooted the phone and installed a ROM with clockworkrecovery , and it was working well, But I wanted to expand the memory , so i followed these instructions to install 4EXT recovery:

Everything worked except for sending the rom to the SDcard, it gave me USB Brick error and it asked me to fix it, I accepted and it rebooted automatically, and since then it wont go into recovery anymore.

What have i tried to do to fix it :

• Erase recovery and re-flashed a new recovery with fastboot (both 4EXT recovery and clockwork recovery ), Still hangs on HTC screen when selecting Recovery

• Put PB99IMG.zip on SDCard , it says that no image or wrong image.

I've searched and tried it all , except for installing stock RUU , but ive read thats a last resort . So before trying that I thought I ask the people that helped me so much already.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Does ur phone boot up? If so download the 4ext recovery updater apk in my sig and try flashing recovery using the app. Thats what u should of done in the first place. PB99IMG is kinda last option

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
No, it doesnt have a Rom , that's because I erased everything , like the text above says . I got stuck when I wanted to send the Rom to the SDcard .

But now I got really stuck .

It won't load any PB99IMG , that means I won't be able to go back to the original RUU ... I can use fastboot. Is there a way to flash it through fastboot ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
I'm no expert, but did flash 4ext recovery from fastboot the other day... So Yes, that's possible

(edit: guess I misread your q. Dunno about flashing RUU through fastboot)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
Ok... I am completely stuck...

I cant load any PB99IMG

What might be the reason that it wont recognize my PB99IMG?

Is there any way to flash things back to stock without using PB99IMG?

or Flash Hboot ?

Please anyone ...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
ok... I want to go back to original RUU so i downloaded the PB99IMG_downgrade , but i cant downgrade it through PB99IMG.zip since it wont load...

Is flashing the Hboot.img inside of the PB99IMG_downgrade.zip through fastboot an option?( fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img )

or will I brick it even further?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Go to bootloader and:

#1 "fastboot erase recovery"

#2 "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

#3 "fastboot erase cache"

#4 "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

Now reboot to recovery, it must work or you have wrong recovery img

Should I try to flash the Hboot image , so I can run orginal RUU , and then root it again ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Yes you can do that, flash downgrader.img ( http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img ) and run RUU.

You're stock hboot right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
My Hboot was HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary

and after the downgrader turned into alpharev 6.93.9999

Should I be able to run the RUU update now?

Thank you guys , for replying and helping me . I Hope that after the RUU install , I can go back to do the fun stuff again !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
New problem....

I Tried to install the RUU

Everything looked fine , until it gave me bootloader version error ,its flashed everything except for the ROM.

and it booted in Hboot , and it showed :

Bravo UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON

HBOOT- 0.75.0000

MICROP 031D

TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101

RADIO 4.05.00.11

MAR 5 2010 21.12.15

I didnt have a clue what to do next, so i tried to run the newest RUU but gave me the same error (bootloader version is higher) untill I came across a topic on a other forum with someone with the same problem

later he said:

But the downgrade utility wont detect my device (is my USB DEBUGGING disabled? )

Can anyone help me , I REALLY dont know what to do!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E500XDA:
I am in a loop of problems

I cant run RUU because my ROM image is 3.14.something , so I cant install an older version..

I cant flash Misc because of my S-ON status

I cant enter recovery...

So my questions are :

Is there a way to flash MISC to an older one so I can run RUU?

Is there a way to root it, without entering a ROM ( I know there is alpharev ISO , but it wont recognize my Desire...)

HELP?
[Galaxy Note II General] aquaholik:
Previously on my S2, I can not activate voice dialing with my BT headset while my screen is locked with anything other than a simple swipe. For example, I use pattern lock. Whenever the phone is locked, pressing the button on my BT headset does nothing. When the screen is unlocked, it brings up the voice dialing feature whether it is S voice on the note 2 or vlingo on the S2.

So whenever I am out fishing or driving and wants to make a quick call using voice dialing while the phone is in my pocket or in a waterproof case, I can't do it without unlocking the phone first by drawing my pattern. That is a real PITA so often, I do not lock the phone except with a simple swipe which has zero security.

Solution:

Tap the green phone app, select call settings, Accessory settings for call, look under BT headset settings for outgoing calls, enable Make calls even when device locked.

Now using my LG stereo bluetooth headset, I still can't directly access the S voice when the screen is locked. But, I can long press the call button(on my BT headset) and then it will dial the last number called. Then I quickly hang up, lightly press the call button(on my BT headset), and then S voice will be enabled and I can say "Call David Mobile or play music, etc).

Try it on your phone and BT headset and let me know if you can access S voice directly while the screen is pattern locked. I would have to quickly dial the last number first and quickly hangup in order for S voice to wake up behind the locked screen.

[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
I picked up my Nexus 4 yesterday and got everything setup. The stats I posted are only from today, coming from fully charged. I have not updated to the latest OTA yet.

You will notice that after 9 hours, I still have 40% left.

View attachment 1484839

A good portion (about 4 hours) of the day was spent inside a building that results in poor reception. As a result, there should've been more battery drain during that time. Also, I have wifi enabled almost the entire time.

View attachment 1484840

The screen was on for almost 2 hours.

View attachment 1484841

The Nexus 4 gets plenty of deep sleep.

View attachment 1484842

Some notes about my activity. I listened to music through a bluetooth headset for about 20 minutes. I sent and received over a 100 text messages. Wifi was enabled and connected almost the entire time. Autosync for email, contacts, calendar, facebook, and twitter are enabled. I have Tasker running in the background. I played around on some social apps (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) and downloaded/updated a few apps.

This is probably light to moderate usage in my eyes and would easily get you through an 8-hour work day. Battery drain was between 5% and 7% per hour, depending on when during the day you calculated it. It usually averaged around 6% drain per hour though.

I'll probably take a few more screens of my stats tonight before updating to the OTA. I'll then report back tomorrow with similar screens to see if the OTA helps battery consumption at all.

EDIT: I have posted updated stats on page 5. These will include stats after the OTA update.
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
Thanks for this! With all the backorder emails going out I'm definitely going to wait a few weeks before I decide if I'm going to order one. If I do it will be hard to part with the 3100 mah battery in the Note 2. You can't kill this thing!

[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
the only thing that's keeping my decision tough is that 3100 mAh battery.

based on the OP stats, it's doing a decent job. i think it can do a better with further updates to come from Google, i am just not sure since battery life on my G Nexus was horrible.
[Nexus 4 General] Venekor:
Ouch that is pretty ****ty battery life for a device you've hardly used. My GS2 would be on like 70% with what you've used....
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
Keep in mind it should get better after 4-5 cycles. It's certainly not groundbreaking but it's also nothing to sneeze at. With some monitoring you should have no problem making it through a day without charging. I don't like monitoring though, which is why I love this Note 2:D
[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
That's actually not too bad. Like thegregulator said, it's decent and will get you through the day. Also, I think my battery drains more when signal is bad, and you will notice that I'm in an area with really bad signal for a good portion of my day.

Here are some updated usage shots by the end of my day. It averages out to about 7% consumption per hour, giving me about 14 hours worth of battery life.

I just updated to the OTA and will charge my phone overnight to give it a full charge and update this thread again tomorrow afternoon after another full day's usage.
[Nexus 4 General] 309041291a:
I don't understand... I always thought 1-2.5 screen time was terrible for 14-18 hours. I get 3-4 in 24+... Hopefully battery will get betterbwith custom kernels, ROMs, and underclock.

I wouldn't say it is terrible battery life, but I would say there is room for improvement.

Again, keep in mind I experience a little more battery drain due to poor reception. I saw someone else post a screenshot reaching 18 hour battery life, with almost 3 hours of screen usage.

Hopefully, the OTA provides some better usage times. I'll report back again tomorrow afternoon.

[Nexus 4 General] wurzelsepp3:
This is really bad. I often reach 6 hours of screen on time on my GS2 with a 2000mAh battery.

I don't understand which part of the Phone is draining that much power,

IPS panels are usually pretty efficient, the S4pro if not pushed should not drain that much either.

The only reason I can think of is that the CPU is spending too much time at the max clockrate with multiple cores online.

Can someone post a screenshot of CPU spy?
[Nexus 4 General] Uh60m Pilot:
I would be interested to see what the battery life is like in airplane mode over a few hour period. One with the screen off (more than likely in deep sleep), the other with the screen on. If the problem is in the jelly bean kernel that can be fixed on xda. If it is the screen draw that is a little different. I have full faith in the developers on xda.

[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
You did, but he can't see how much time was spent at the highest clock rate. Looking at those shots, it seems like your phone isn't going into deep sleep nearly as much as it should. Maybe check your wake locks and see what's keeping it awake?

I ordered this vehicle dock from B&H photos for 11.99 plus shipping. It works with cases and in landscaped mode and with my budget.

The thing I like most about it is that it doesn't impede my view at all. Even though this is by far the biggest device I've own. It also fits with car and it's adjustable for even wider phones (Galaxy Note 3).

You can find it with product code:PAPHU on B&H website & Amazon sells the holder too. (I would have added links but my account is restricted until i make 10 posts).

I add a NFC sticker to activate Car Dock settings and automatically open the Ultra Car Home app (by far the best car dock app I've seen). I purchased the stickers on ebay for 6 bucks for 5 from a guy in Cali.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
I would recommend against the NFC sticker on the dock itself. For some reason, the phone will randomly detect the NFC tag while docked, and give it's NFC bleep bleep sound. It will stop music, switch to the handset speaker, bleep, then go back to bluetooth or aux out.

I ended up going with something similar, but it mounts in the CD slot, getting it off the dash and out of the view of the road. Works great!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AbrahamWalker:
That's a cool layout. How are you sharing the phones display with your car without having cables attached?
