[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, I still visit here :)

OP, what phone do you have? You're writing a wrong name for PD15IMG.

In any case, if you indeed have PD15IMG - find "root for S-OFF users" thread in Development, get the PD15IMG with CWM from there, flash it just like you flashed return-to-stock package, and boot into recovery. If it doesn't work - it means that it's not the recovery that's corrupted.

And I suspect that you're just not understanding correctly what your phone does, and/or not actually booting into recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superchill11:
I have used adb a bit (for root with cyanogen method). I'm guessing that the delete command will reformat the recovery partition? I'll give this a go when I get home and get back to ya. Thanks for the reply! Is there a way to download the 4ext recovery img file?

Edit:

I downloaded the CWM touch img and connected to the phone in fastboot. Was able to follow your instructions, but the command is erase not delete. When I put in the delete command it came up with the instructions and was able to figure it out. Flashed recovery and I can now boot into recovery every time from fastboot, terminal, adb, and from power prompt in rom! BOOYAH! Thanks a ton!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superchill11:
Hey Jack,

I have HTC Glacier. Was a typo for the PD15IMG name. I think I have a decent understanding of the phone, and most likely have a corrupted recovery partition. Seems that instead of just flashing a recovery over a recovery, I may need to reformat the partition and then flash? I'll try flashing the file you suggest and report back. If it is not the recovery that is corrupted, what else could be the issue? Possibly an issue with the bootloader not allowing the phone to boot into recovery? Thanks for the reply.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Flashing recovery isn't copying a file. When you flash IMG through bootloader, it is flashed just like what it is - a complete image. Formatting the partition doesn't do anything, since it has no "format" - the image flashed by the bootloader contains both the structure and the data, just like a CD/DVD image does, for example.

The possible options I can think of are:

1) Your recovery partition is physically bad - unlikely.

2) Your bootloader is corrupted - could possibly lead to you being unable to enter recovery.

3) Something that prevents your phone from entering recovery - i.e. a stuck button or something - or you're doing it wrong. I'm afraid that what you're describing as "phone bootloops for a minute and then boots a ROM" isn't really a bootloop - because these phones can't get out of bootloop on their own, if booting failed once - it'll fail always. Logcat can confirm this. I believe it's just the ROM that's booting normally when you try to enter recovery, so, in this case, since you didn't specify how exactly you're trying to enter recovery - it seems like you're either doing it wrong, or when you try to enter recovery you're not getting there.

To help people help you, please write down the exact way you're using when trying to enter recovery, and if you know more than one way - try them all (from bootloader, by adb reboot recovery, directly booting without flashing by "fastboot boot", etc). And post your HBOOT version.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superchill11:
Sorry if I wasn't more descriptive. I really appreciate your help and everything you have done for this community. Seems the recovery was corrupted by the 4ext app. I was able to extract the recovery.img from the 4ext download and was able to flash it via fastboot. Everything boots properly now. HBoot is 0.85.2007 FYI. Thanks again!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rhcreed:
my camera stopped working this morning. No apps added, nothing changed in rom (just another day).

to troubleshoot, I did flash a new rom with full wipe (hoping it was just software) and no joy.

How can I test to see if the hardware is shot or if it's just a software thing?

Any logs I can look at?

any help is appreciated, thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
I had to get a new phone because my camera quit. I think I may have dropped it and jarred something. Maybe try an app that uses the camera but not as a camera. A mirror app for FFC, or a text and walk app that uses the camera to show you what you can't see in front of you while texting.

Chances are though, broken camera. If its not ROM related a backup should fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
On the Galaxy Nexus, when using the front facing camera, the photo saved on to the phone is a mirror image/ inverse of the image. Is there anyway to make it not the inverse/mirror image?

When I take picture on the right side, it appears on the left..

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I don't know of any method, but you can always rotate the image after clicking. Hardly takes 5 seconds. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
Uhh.. Thanks but..

I meant.. Let's say your face is on the right of the image, when it gets saved, the face is on the left. All the detail gets mirrored which makes the picture looks awkward for me when I use the cam..

The preview before taking and the saved photo are mirrored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
When using the front facing camera it's actually the preview image that is mirrored, the saved image is correct. They mirror the image so that it behaves intuitively, like a mirror. It is awkward to use the camera if they don't do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
Yea. I want the preview image. Just wondering when ppl look at u do they see the mirror image or the un mirror image? If possible can I get it to save the mirror image?(the preview)

[HTC One X] chejo:
I don't have a link. I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. Just on my carrier's web site.
[HTC One X] fireblade:
I didn't know it existed either. Out of curiosity can you tell us how much free memory you have out of the 16gb? The 32gb has got about 25gb out of the box.

I have Sony Xperia U. I have upgrade it to the ICS and put the CWM recovery. That passed OK. I have found a ROM and install it. Everything passed OK, but when the phone tried to reboot, it stuck with repeate showing Sony logo. I tried by pressing power-on/off and vol+, also vol-, but the phone always repeat showing Sony logo. I have to pull out battery to turn of the phone.

What to do? How to turn back OS? Thx in advance.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
I assume that the S4 Pro is MUCH faster than anything used in the xbox and ps2. I assume its faster than the 360 and ps3. Is that really the case though? The games look like crap on the current gen consoles and many mobile games are catching up. From a purely specs perspective is the Adreno 320/S4 Pro superior?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
I would seriously doubt that but i don't know enough to say that for sure. Sure mobile CPUs are pretty good but they are limited by their thermal envelopes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thronnos:
Compared to the PS3? NO. the cell processor is very advanced even if it's partly locked down. (there are 2-3 cells that aren't used)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
Very advanced for 7 years ago. This is 2013 and the S4 Pro has more cores/ram/gpu cores. The PS3 games cant even run in 720p. Most games are upscaled from 960x540.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspar737:
Can't be more wrong. It hasn't got more CPU and GPU cores. It has more RAM but the PS3 doesn't have to run Android. Also, very few PS3 games run at qHD res. One game is Black Ops, but it does this because it runs 60 FPS. Most games nowadays render at 720p or near it.

Also, I have yet to see a mobile game that comes even close to PS3 games nowadays. Maybe some mobile games look better than some PS3 release titles, but that's it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
Yes it does. The PS3 cell processor is single core. The 360 CPU is tri core. And the PS3 runs a form of Linux.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtacular:
Does it really even matter? If you bought your phone as an alternative to a gaming console or handheld gaming device you bought it for the wrong reason.

Also if you want to compare specs, compare a PS3 or XBox 360 to a phone that came out 7 years ago.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspar737:
There is a single PPE and 8 SPE-s. One SPE is used by the OS and one is locked.

Yes, it does run a form of Linux, but what I originally meant was that its footprint is very small, it only consumes 20-30 MB of RAM compared to Android which needs several hundred MB-s and also CPU power to run background services.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Umm i thought the Cell processor was a "7" core device at 3.2Ghz to boot. Not that clock speed is everything but it puts out 218 G-FLOPS while the 550Mhz GPU (RSX) puts oput 1.8 T-Flops. The Adreno 225 does 12.8 G-FLOPS.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6330/the-iphone-5-review/11

According to the that page, the iPhone 5 GPU is similar to the Adreno 320 and that does 19.2 G-FLOPS. WAAAAY less than the 1.8 (or read 1800 ) T-FLOPS of the RSX.

VRAM data rates are ~20GB/s vs 8GB/s

So yeah, guess we can say that's done for.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspar737:
Exactly all this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
So if thats the case then mobile technology isn't ANYWHERE CLOSE to desktop PC's. My PC DESTROYS a PS3 without even thinking twice. Its like an ant vs my boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Correct
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
The N4 is more powerful than a PS2/Xbox though right? My old SGS4G could play PS1 games without flinching.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Pretty sure it's more powerful than either the PS2 or Xbox, but there's no way it would ever emulate them if that's what you're getting at there

Not to mention, the Android OS uses a lot of resources, unlike a simpler console such as those
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venekor:
No way does the RSX put out 1.8 Tflops....

It's basically 6800SLI which gets nowhere near that, the 580 doesn't even get that lol.

The Cell is an overhyped CPU that failed to deliver and in reality CPUs like the 360s Xeon and the I7s we have today are so much better for gaming. Developers just complain about the amount of code the Cell needs compared to conventional CPUs and how it takes too much time. Doesn't matter what you say about it in theory, in practice it costs too much money to develop on and it cost Sony the console war. Fact is we've not see the PS3 out perform the 360, the GPU inside the 360 can push more pixels, has access to more memory too. Games like uncharted use so much trickery to make them look good, I don't understand why people make a big deal out of it, have you seen the obviously jpeg like skyboxes all over it?

Graphics wise the phones are already there, what they lack in power they make up for in memory and new shaders and features to make the games look better. Mobile GPUs also push games at higher framerates and use AA which consoles lack most of the time due to memory constraints. Instead their games use post processing effects which blur everything out and make it look ****. Also mobile games run at 60FPS where as most console games are around 30fps or even lower.

CPU wise mobiles are getting there but still far off, we see the next gen of Arm chips getting close to the I3.

The biggest constraint of the Mobiles though is battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtacular:
Give it up already. On paper the N4 is great and all for what it is, but it can't compete with a gaming console. Try hooking up your phone to a big screen hdtv and see how it compares graphics wise to a gaming console if you have one. After all, the SGS4G doesn't have a disc drive on it so I don't know how you could play a PS1 game one it. You must only be playing pirated games via a 3 or 4 inch screen to come to the assumption that a cell phone comes close to any of the current gaming consoles graphics wise. Afterall, there is a reason they make cell phones, dvd/bluray players, video game consoles, tvs, etc... They each have their own benefits.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
Lets be honest, PS3 games are absolutely shocking. They have so much screen tear, not to mention the actual graphics are completely and utterly awful. It takes an age to load, even it's own dashboard. Xbox 360 is better but still, consoles we have today are absolutely light years behind PC's and even the processors we have in our phones outshine them.

You can quote all the nonsense giga flop teraflop data you want, you would be all talking out your behinds because consoles struggle with the games they have, and with skyrim as an example, are completely and utterly chopped down to run, when compared to the unlocked PC versions with the proper textures.

I have yet to find a PS3 game to run in 1080p which is what it should be coping with, and the 720p games are awful both performance wise, and graphics wise.

As for mobiles on a big screen tv, the LG optimus 3G hooked up to 40 inch hd tv gaming is absolutely brilliant, look it up.

Xbox 360 is much much faster than the PS3 and actually does have better graphics it can handle and probably gives the Nexus a beating on the graphics side, but loading and general useage as a pc and it'd be useless.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noname81:
Regarding GPU power: Nowadays it's still ~ a factor of 10. It is a really rough number but I often measured something like this when comparing GPU performance of iOS/Android devices and consoles/mid PC systems. Modern games still do a lot more than mobile games regarding rendering (shadows, global illumination, screen scape effects like SSAO, etc, etc). But mobile GPUs will get better and better. See e.g. the roadmap from NVIDIA and the comparison with current console generation:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...el-performance-from-mobile-gpus-in-2013-2014/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspar737:
Actually PS3 has v-sync enabled for lots of games which means no screen tear.

And no, the Xbox doesn't have better graphics. If Uncharted wasn't enough, take a look at Heavy Rain or The Last of Us.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Got to agree with this. Mobile games often have just a lot of pointless effects which make them look beautiful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
Is it possible to restore/flash a backed up ROM /NAND backup of another phone to your phone ? And the other phone is the same brand and model ?? (Identical hardware) ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I could say yes, but I'm gonna say NO, don't try that.

For what I've seen devices behave somewhat diffrent from one another. If you move something from one device to another identical device you could be messing with some sort of signature of the original device.

I actually have got no idea, but I'd advice against it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdanoober:
If you really want to do it, use Titanium Backup to find out your Android ID then use it to change it after flashing. Otherwise some apps will not work due to license issue.

yes absouloutly you can and i tryed it my self !!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ayman is right; of course you can.

The only problem you might run into is if the version of CWM you use to restore the backup is a lot (say 12 mths or more) newer than the version of CWM you used to make the backup. If that happens, you'd need to use a kernel that has a version of CWM closer to the one you made the backup with.

But if the backup is recent (< a few mths), you shouldn't have any dramas at all.
