[HTC Sensation] jasonmlit:
i downloaded and ran the RUU but it said that it was the wrong one and failed.
[HTC Sensation] jasonmlit:
tried an earlier RUU too, and they both fail. I am running them as administrators, and while the phone is in fastboot. It seems to act like its going to work, and go to a black HTC screen, but then it fails. error [155]
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
relock the bootloader then run the RUU

to relock bootloader

fastboot oem lock

then connect the phone from fastboot to pc ..the phone should say FASTBOOT USB if connected properly

then run the RUU
[HTC Sensation] jasonmlit:
EDIT - please close thread... I didn't realize I had to be bootloader locked. just on a whim locked it back up and it worked like a charm.

thanks for the help.

When ever I try to get on to my home wifi network I'm always getting error no matter what I do. I have tried resetting my modem I've tried changing the security settings nothing seems to work this happen on various jellybean roms. Is anyone else having this annoying problem. Here is a screen shot of what happens when ever I try to use Wi-Fi

Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
Mine works fine. Is it working on other devices?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
I'm sure you've tried this, but since you didn't mention it and it's possibly the simplest solution, I'll ask anyway. Have you tried reentering your key in case you typed it wrong?

Have you been able to connect with the S3 in the past? What type of security protocol are you using (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.)? Have you tried to change the security protocol?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steveman09:
This issue usually means the password you entered isnt right, try changing the settings of your router sometimes different settings can cause this, switch it to defaults and give it another shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon79:
This started happening when I went to jellybean. Went back to ics just to make sure and had no issue on ics go back to jellybean the problem comes back. I'm using wpa all my modem settings are unchanged. Yes I'm putting in the correct key.

Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

What does your signal strength read?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaimesco12:
all it says in the notificationbar Is "searching" only when I go outside I get 4g but even then I can barely connect to the internet. And it says -113dBm 0 asu
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cameljockey1:
I am having the same issue. Is anyone living in the dfw area on tmobile network having data issues? I go outside I get 15 mbps I sit in my house I get 300kpbs. Ive called tmobile and they are looking into it. But its been like this for almost a month now. You should call them and tell them whats going on. First call customer care and tell them the issue. They gave me credit on my account because why pay for something that dont work right then they'll connect you to tech support. Good luck. If we get more people to call in maybe they do something nationwide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaimesco12:
So its not an issue with the note ? Because I bought it in Craigslist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cameljockey1:
No I don't think so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaimesco12:
Also mines doesnt even connect to the network inside my house so I cant text or call:banghead::confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaimesco12:
See how it just says searching? And it has 2 bars
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] imex:
Where I used to get 1-2 bars with my g2x I get 0 with the note. Funny considering the size of the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaimesco12:
Yeah I'm getting really disappointed with this I can't make calls or send texts in my house...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaimesco12:
Calle tmobile and they didntdo anything . Could the pins of the sim entrance get messed up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] redhatter:
You don't have wifi ? because wifi calling is great...but conversely you might try turing your phones wifi off at the house and restart..I had a problem at first as the phone would jump off the gsm network and on to a bad wifi signal
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
Okay guys, I've heard of this many a times but never got to know what is a boot loader & its use ? Also how do I unlock it ? Is it something that helps us to load files when the phone boots or something like that ? What are the pros & cons of it ? Can anyone quote this for me ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] side_effect:
Ace doesnt have a boot loader.

Companies like htc,motorola,sony usually lock bootloaders in their phone.Mostly,AFAIK boot loaders are unlocked in order to gain exploit for rooting.

So can you answer my question ?:what:
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Hello, I am confused. I have heard some people have issues after installing nvflash and then installing a custom recovery. I notice that they are both flashed to the address "0x0b05". Will this cause a problem? For instance, recovery overwrites NVflash or vice versa.

Thanks. Any guidance appreciated
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You do not "install" nvflash. nvflash is a tool that runs on a PC. For using it with the TF700, you first need to flash a hacked bootloader and run a tool to extract a blob file from your tablet. Then you save this blob on your PC and keep it safe. This blob is used with the "wheelie" tool, which prepares the communication with the tablet, so that you finally can use nvflash.

And 0x0b05 is not an address, it is the vendor part of the Transformer's USB ID.

You should read the nvflash-related threads thoroughly, this should clean up some of your confusion. Do not try the procedure before you know what you are doing!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
thankyou for clarifying that for me. In this case I have one other question, what are the chances that flashing the bootloader would fail and brick the device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It worked fine for me, but for a well-founded answer, we would need some statistical data.

I'd say the chances are greater than 0, but not much, if you know what you are doing. At least I do not know any reports of bricking by flashing the bootloader - all recent bricks I read about in this forum were a result of using some inappropriate way to flash a custom recovery and then trying to wipe data.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Well, if thats the case poll or survey should be done. Also, I have been back and forth about nvflash and what happens if I flash the Asus jb update after installing the custom bootloader? Will it overwrite the custom bootloader? Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, it will overwrite the custom bootloader. But at that time you should already have pulled your blob and stored it safely on your PC and backed it up multiple times, so you don't need the custom bootloader anymore - it is only required for extracting the blob, not for running nvflash.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Ok, thanks. I just needed to be sure of what would happen. I will install the custom bootloader and recovery, generate blobs and preform nvflash backup. I am still unsure if I want to use the stock ROM with a custom recovery or if I want to use cm10 with a custom recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
I am definitly going to use cm10 or cm10.1, custom bootloader with twrp recovery after here that Asus spies on what you do with your tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Just FYI: CleanROM does not include CMClient and DMClient.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Thanks, I still think I am going to go with cyanogenmod 10.1 when it comes out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
At this point I don't want create $499.99 paper weight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
I have read that nvflash can cause a bootloop. Is this true?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Where did you read that?

Improper use of nvflash can cause all kinds of malfunction, however proper use of nvflash should always be able to repair that (if you have backups).
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
I read this

Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764480
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Also, are there any detailed guides on how install nvflash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
This is the guide: http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/

Make sure you understand exactly what you are doing before you begin. It's easier to do on a Linux PC because of fewer driver issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Mainly what I am confused about is this: Do I need any extra blob files to install nvflash other than the ones listed?

I understand that you need to backup the "generated" blob files. If so, where would I get them?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Read the guide again. You do not "install" nvflash, the guide describes the procedure of using a hacked bootloader to extract data (the blob) needed to run nvflash.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
I know. When I said install nvflash I was referring to the "AndroidRoot" bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
To install that, you need only the files available on the AndroidRoot site and a working fastboot setup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Blog Post about doing NVFlash

I recently did the NVFlash procedure on my TF700 a few days ago and I know that

everything you need to know is on the AndroidRoot.mobi site

it can be a difficult read because of the page's organization

it can be a whole lot easier to do than you think

I started a blog recently and posted my procedure here. However, I do not suggest reading only my page. Read the AndroidRoot.mobi and use my post as more of a second reference.

Do not attempt NVFlash until you know exactly what you are doing.

I hope that you find this information helpful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ostar2:
Thanks, this actually extremely helpful. There don't seem to be that many guides on this. So, its good you created one.

Also, after looking at your guide I think that its better than the one at android.mobi as it is more detailed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
All I tried to do was consolidate all the information I could and make it meaningful in the case I need to reference it again. Almost all of this information is available or referenced to on the AndroidRoot.mobi site. Thanks for the compliment, though, and please let me know if there is anything you feel should be added to make it more helpful.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmchssc:
I'm planning on visiting France for a few months during the summer, and I want to take advantage of Illiad's Free Mobile 20 euro per month plan while I'm there. I'm on Sprint, so I couldn't use my current phone except on WiFI. From what I've seen on Craigslist and Ebay, the Vibrant is one of the cheapest phones I could get. The strong developer support of the Galaxy S line also means I wouldn't be sacrificing the latest version of Android, operating with semi-decent performance. I'd also be able to use it as an MP3 player when I got back. I've had Voodoo envy since suffering the DACs on the S II and S III.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me their experience with using this phone overseas. According to what I've been able to find, the Vibrant supports UMTS 2100, but not 900. I'm planning on using it in urban areas, so I'm not too concerned about the lack of the lower band. It supports 2G on 900, so I wouldn't have a problem with completely losing service. It also supports HSDPA, I think at 7.2 mbps, which, again, sounds acceptable to me. Further, unlocking it appears to be fairly simple as well.

So, theoretically, this sounds like a decent phone to get, but hearing from someone who's actually used it in Europe would make me more comfortable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikka06:
Hey dude, i live in France and i'm using a Vibrant without any problem. I never had a phone for so long, 2 years already with my vibrant. By the way, i would suggest you Red Series of SFR, it's the same price as Free Mobile with better network quality.
[HTC Amaze 4G] brooklynite:
Hello Dear XDA members,

So I have an Amaze that you guys helped me root and install custom ROM on back in Jan, thanks! Now the power button is going out, it's very hard to turn the screen on and off. I have been using the camera button to turn the screen on but I can't turn it off with that button. If the phone runs out of battery I have a really hard time turning it back on.

I called HTC and they said I they will send me an RMA code but they didn't, after a few days I called back and they said while its still under warranty they can't help me because the phone was a demo unit originally. Well I got it from Craigslist not Tmobile so maybe that's why.

Anyway, is there a way to fix the button? I mean 11 months is a very short period for a $599 phone! Anyone knows how to fix this? I really appreciate it. Thanks !!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shadow Samurai:
Ouch. I bought mine from craigslist too but checked my imei before buying. You can use a widget that will act as as power button. See if you can still push the button with ease if you take the phone out of its frame.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gideo:
"Screen off and lock"on play store is a really good one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
Lol how would he use the app to turn on/off when the phone is powered off already ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gideo:
He said he has been using the camera button to turn the screen on,but he can't turn it off with it,to me that describes a problem turning the screen off,sooo "screen off and lock"made sense to me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
Well I guess his biggest sticking point is how to turn the phone on without a working power button. Same thing happens with Nexus One and there are easy workarounds (by plugging in and remove/insert battery repetitively). Is there such a work around for the Amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
I came from the nexus one to the amaze when it came out. Having broken power button phobia from the start, I've found "screen off and lock" from market for turning off the screen, and "quick boot" also from the market for reboot, etc. Don't know of any methods off hand to turn it on, once off...

I did however notice that with the back plate off it's easier to get a firm click pushing the power button with just my finger.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xDC23:
Check to see if its the actual button thats not working properly, or if its the back cover. My phone sometimes doesn't have the power button register when i press it down the first time, but its just the button on the back cover that's wearing down and not making contact with the phone. Take a look and hopefully thats all it is, and all you have to do is replace the back cover which runs you anywhere from 10-15 bucks on ebay :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
google 'button remapper apk' and use it to set your camcorder button as your new power button.
[HTC Amaze 4G] brooklynite:
Hey guys that you all! Installed the screen off and lock app and it works great! Thanks!

Removed the battery cover and the button works fine, I guess I just have to replace the battery cover.

Thank you all!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dkb218:
What andy55 said works but only if the phone isn't completely off. This only works in sleep mode.

Also, try taking off the back cover and press and hold the rubber area with your fingernail where the power button should be. I found the button on the cover wasn't making adequate contact with the phone.
