[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiCASSiMO:
My brother-in-law had his T-Mobile G2 (stock, never rooted) phone for about 2-years and just after coming back from his trip from Europe his phone turned on to the white HTC HBoot/Fastboot screen. He couldn't figure out how to get out of it, so he gave the phone to me.

I'm no expert with Android, more of a noob than anything else. But I want to get the phone to work as my 1.5-year and 3.5-year old boys need a phone to play with without worrying if they break-it. So I've spent about 10-12 hours playing with it, researching everything I could, but got really no where.

What I do know:

* Volume up/down rocker buttons do not work in the white screen

* The phone will recognize a USB connection

* The phone boots up in FASTBOOT mode, but can be forced in HBOOT (via volume down + power-key)

* I can get it to boot up in the OEM 2.3.1 stock BUT it seems like it's asking for a LOCK PATTERN that my brother-in-law can't get through. With enough attempts, it asks for his Google sign-in which doesn't work.

* I've made an attempt in flashing it with a clean PC10IMG ROM to no success:

C:\HTC\Android>fastboot devices

HT09VRxxxxxx fastboot

C:\HTC\Android>fastboot flash zip pc10img.zip

sending 'zip' (124928 KB)... OKAY [ 21.859s]

sending 'zip' (124928 KB)... OKAY [ 21.781s]

finished. total time: 41.922s

C:\HTC\Android>fastboot reboot

I would appreciate any suggestions, as I'm tired of looking and searching through the forums with no help.

Thank you!

HBoot Screens...

I've attached the HBoot screens with and without USB connection... with the volume rocker not functioning.

Please note that the volume rocker does work when booted in the stuck OEM screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedrzvi:
Your are safe because Hboot /fast boot is at your disposal, But you are S-ON, that means NO ROOT ACCESS NO RECOVERY! you cant even flash any custom ROM as far i know .. you can take your concern to this Forum Hope you get some Help from Demkantor http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1983163 :fingers-crossed:

I know this is a long shot but..... I am trying to find the short lived fulltilt poker android app. It was on the market for only about 2 weeks before google removed it. I am just curious if it would still work.... I imagine the pokerstars app was based on its coding after they gobbled up fulltilt.

Thanks

Will rooting, installing CWM, or rooting mess with my photos, videos, or music? If so, what is a good, free way to back these up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Not if you do it right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atomictom123:
Even installing a Custom ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Even that. I have flashed over 100 times on a few phones and have never lost anything. Still back it up though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atomictom123:
And by back it up, are you referring to Tibu? Or just back it up in general like Dropbox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
I do both. TB only backs up your apps and the data associated with those apps. Anything else like photo's or music I just copy over to my computer. Dropbox is another option. Just make sure you understand what you're doing first and you'll be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atomictom123:
Ok. So in that case, what does installing a custom rom and etc erase? Because I was under the impression that a factory reset was needed in order to install a custom rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
OK. I'll give you the quick version. You will not loose anything on your sdcard. You will loose your apps that are stored in system as well as contacts and wifi settings and such. That's why you also back up to google for contacts. Use TB or something like it to back up user apps and data. Wipe, Flash, restore. You asked if it would wipe photos, music, and videos. It will not if you do it right. Start reading. Then read some more. When that's done you'll have a better idea of how it all works. Then once you understand the process for yourself flash away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
A factory reset doesn't wipe user data such as photos, videos, music, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atomictom123:
Okay. I'm starting to get it. I do have to read more. When your in ClockWorkMod for example, and you needed to wipe to flash the rom, does it also mandate a user data reset? Also, are there stickies on all of this so I can bug you guys less? Haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atomictom123:
Yup to all of those questions? And doesn't the user data reset delete the media on the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
"Yup" to there being a million stickies all over xda on all of this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atomictom123:
Can you point me in the right direction to where stickies on this subject are?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpikeJones123:
Hello all,

I have had my note II for about 2 weeks now. I absolutely love the phone! However, I've noticed two issues that are sort of small now, but I am worried that they could grow larger soon.

1. LTE drops. This isn't often, but it does happen sometimes. I found a thread with people talking about this, but never really found an answer. I don't lose LTE, but I just drop to 3G. I thought it would be because of where I was, but when I looked at my mother's iPhone, and my dad's note II, they both had LTE. These drops only last for 10 minutes max, but it is worrysome.

2. Reboots! This is something new. I had quite a lot with my bolt, and hoped it would dissappear with this phone. While researching help with my LTE drops not twenty minutes ago, my phone randomly went dark, and the samsung boot logo appeared. Has this happened to anyone? I don't want this turning into my bolt!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Haloman800:
LTE has been great for me and I haven't had any reboots, I'd recommend wiping (and installing a ROM), CleanROM & Beans are both based on stock, so you get all the features and maximum performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
1. I too experience random LTE drops down to 3G every once in awhile. It hasn't happened since I installed Jelly'Beans' ROM but on stock it happened a few times.

2. Haven't had a random reboot yet. Did once have to do a battery pull due to running profile 5G of the Perseus Kernel. My CPU can't take those low voltages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
From my experience, neither one of these is normal, nor acceptable on the Gnote 2. And they are not small issues. I would request a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cowisland:
I work in a heavy congested area and I believe Verizon towers get overloaded. I have solid 4G in the morning or at night, but during lunch time it almost always becomes slow and drops to 3G or even 1X. My coworker who sits next to me has an iPhone 5 and sees the same thing happen (I have an HTC DNA btw, sneaking into N2 forum). So basically Verizon selling too many 4G phones may be your culprit.

Random restart isnt Normal. First issue is. Um. I run stock everything nothing done to phone. 3 days uptime so far. Havent had a random reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aeneas_shrike:
I'm rooted multiple devices, and while the process is rarely an easy straight shot for me, this sprint gs2 of my wife's has proven to be my hardest. I've managed to at this point get it rooted though oden plus get cwm installed on it through oden as well.

Now my issue is whenever I try to install cm through cwm I'm getting the same error, regardless of if it's cm7, 9, and 10.

It is as follows:

-- Installing: /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-epicmtd.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "epic" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "epic" ||

getprop("ro.build.device") == "SPH-D700"

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-epicmtd.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

If I try to have rom manager install it from within the app, it gets stuck at the point where I tell it yes, reboot into recovery.

I've gotten to the point of being able to use cwm after quite a bit of non-straightforward steps, mostly revolving around walkthroughs and zip references that referred to older ota builds.

Not complaining, just saying the point I'm out now is not as reliable as I'd like it to be.

I'm pretty familiar with pulling logs, not so familiar with adb but fine with command prompt. I'll be happy to try whatever anyone thinks of and if someone has the time I'd be happy to webcast the screen as I follow someone's instructions.

PS. I did find this explanation as a possible cause of the issue so food for thought -

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ep...p-fixing-wifes-phone-root-rom-sd-problem.html

Its been quite some time since I've messed with the Epic 4g but you flashed to the EpicMTD ROM. When you did this you changed your phones file partitioning to a completely different format.

In simple terms the Epic 4g and most devices of its time comes formatted in RFS format and along came EXT 4 format with many custom ROMs which allowed faster write times, speed improvements etc. Then they discovered this MTD format which again changes things.. I believe the problem your running into is when the device was formatted over to this MTD your having issues doing restores and such because your old recovery data is in RFS or EXT 4 format. Bottom line it won't work.

You will have to use the guide below to restore your device back a working state and remove the MTD formatting.​

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Flash through odin the el26 repack from chris41g. I believe the format of system is what is causing that as well. I use the twrp packed up by chris which can be foumd on goo.im personally. Has never resulted in a brick. For me.

are you sure you're using ROMs for the sph d710?

Also, rom manager apparently bricks this phone...don't use it

yea you're definitely using the wrong ROMs...note that there is an epic 4g and epic 4g touch

best way to flash a rom (unless stated otherwise in OP of ROM)

install odin

download el26 cwm kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?hkydca9ob98z89m

turn ur phone off. hold volume down and power to get into download mode

once in download mode plug it in pc (make sure drivers are installed)

open odin

click pda option and select that el26 cwm

hit start

after it finishes and the phone starts to reboot hold volume up and power

you'll be in cwm recovery.. from there clear data clear cache clear dalvik cache

flash ROM

flash gapps if u want

reboot

replies to op

Thanks everyone. I'll start from the top and work my way down. I'll go search this sub-forum for the specific packages you mentioned, and then google if that doesn't work. If you know they are hard to find or there are variations that I might choose accidentally, please pm or post up the page/link you would go to for it. Know that sounds needy, but like I said I've managed to find only half-right walkthroughs thus far, so apparently I'm not too bright.

got it done

okay I went back, started from the beginning again with

SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED-OneClick to redo the root (yeh, I know, once it's rooted it's rooted so no need, but I like to trial and error with similar starting points)

then use odin3 v1.85 from GalaxyS2Recovery.zip to install CWM

- this time I knew about the pageup, pagedown, pageup, pagedown to unlock the power button - I didn't last time and resorted to installing AGAT's recovery, which may have confused the process

used the cm build and gapps from http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/ and was able to get it to install

- even though I did a [factory wipe, wipe partition, wipe dalv cache, and wipe batt stats], it got stuck on the cm animation, so did the [ ] again and I made it in

one question - with my htc hero, gs3, and different tablets, there was a steady stream of builds...nightlies, stables, etc

with this phone I'm seeing almost nothing now that I'm search for d710...is this device not that heavily developed for? thanks

By the volume buttons the bezel creaks, and the power button is creaky and cheap.

Same small problem here too. Just slap a case that covers the volume and power button. It helps with the creaks. Nothing is perfect. U might get one that buttons are fine but there will be something else that will get to u. If buttons work and are not about to fall off, enjoy the phone.

Anyway long story short it went dead i brought it up to my room and plugged it into the wall charger. The orange light came on so i went to sleep. I woke up and the light was still on.

Hello,

I'm trying to build a simple project the test and learn how this lib works, but I'me quite new in programming and I have some difficulties to understand how to use dm.

The project will be a simple song database with edittexts for song and artist. I created the storableClass as the example, but I cannot understand how to connect it with the main activity, so I can use the output of the editTexts.

1st question is: do I need to have the String variables as private? I'm thinking that must have them as public, so I can connect them with the editTexts output.

2nd: question: all these methods needed to be called from storableClass, or from main activity, after I connected the storableClass with main activity? And how I do this?

Probably with the use of context you descibed, but I cannot understand how to do it. I tried sometimes but always get errors and a specific one "The constructor DataManager(Context) is not visible".

Is there any example project' source code which use this lib to get an Idea, or can you explain the context step more extensively?

Thanks in advance and sorry for noob questions.
