I am new to all of this, and dumb as a rock. That being said, I have soft-bricked this phone. I loaded PACman v15.3 primoc inyourface09.zip first

Went to boot loop. In trying to fix that, I did a bunch of other stuff that didn't work and I don't really remember what all I did-been a week of this chaos. Last thing I did was load Cyanogen Mod 9, which boot looped. Still shows this when I go to fastboot:

same for .TAR, .AES, .ENC

I then loaded gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip, JmzStockDeodex-VirginMobile.zip and JmzStockodex-VirginMobile.zip

I still get the HTC white screen with red disclaimer. Then goes to buzz, lightning, Red Virgin Mobile splash screen with sound, and reboots to HTC white screen-boot loop.

When I got a PK76IMG.ZIP and tried to flash it, it says it can't open the zip file.

But I can still get to the Hboot, Fastboot screen and recovery. Backup was empty :s

Tried to load a different recovery, but just like pacman, twrp won't go away.

And just so you know, I did factory reset a gazillion times.

Help! What have I done, and what can I do to fix it? I am comfortable with command lines, poking around in code, etc., but not with a totally new device like this...obviously, too much to mess up.

Still need serious help! found a possible reason for problem

Seems my HBoot 1.53.00.00 is for GSM; my phone is CDMA. Do how do I install/where do I download the correct hboot for vmt120 (the model number for this One V)?

I have been researching the phone and the problem, not just posting for help ad nauseum. I really need some help, please.

Thanks in advance, folks.
[General Questions and Answers] plebevt:
Were you able to get a backup of the original config, (before you first rooted it?)

(I have the same phone, same radio, (hboot 1.57), for NTelos, and am able to boot, but just no wifi/mobile data).. So, if you have a good backup, I might be able to trade a stock kernel that works for my phone.

I'm desperate also, so I know how it feels to have a machine that doesn't work,...
[General Questions and Answers] notchdaryl:
Hey! Just restore your Radio back to stock. Google "RUU Stock for HTC ONE V VM" and there are some articles that could help you. Basically, you just run the RUU and extract some files in it.

So guys, if you still have this problem here' what you'll need to do.

About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.

Here we go:

First of all, google "RUU of HTC ONE V CDMA" or sumthing. then you'll find alot of things. Choose the SPRINT/VM Then:

1. Download the correct RUU for your device from Football's Primo Shipped ROM Collection.

2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!

3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open,(LET IT OPEN UP, DONT DO ANYTHING!) find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.

4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT/B] using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.

5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

or

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:

Code:

fastboot oem lock

7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.

Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.

If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilshahh:
What are some ways you can compare a nexus to iPhone in real life?

Which aspects of the N4 do you think are better than the iPhone?

My friends are deluded and seem to be going by just looks, how do I show them the N4 is more than what they think it is?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahoowizard:
Show them this maybe.

http://gizmodo.com/5973073/an-iphone-lovers-confession-i-switched-to-the-nexus-4-completely

Then again anyone who has used both a lot will say that they are somewhat close to each other. They're both incredible phones and to be honest, anyone who says the iPhone is a lot better is just biased , and vice versa with people claiming the nexus 4 is a lot better. Both phones are somewhat close and it ends up falling on personal preference.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
Just by looks? The N4 wins that by far imo.

Anyways I've always wondered but couldn't find any solid information, what is the screen on time of an iPhone 5? If anyone knows..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
In all the tests I've seen (yet), the iPhone always beats other smartphones in terms of battery life. The difference isn't night and day, but the iPhone probably lasts around 1/4 or 1/3 longer than most smartphones.

With the Nexus 4 looking freaking incredible, looks isn't an argument anymore. The iPhone also has a very nice design, but what I hate is that they don't really change it. I have the same criticism towars Google by the way. It's a shame that the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 look so similar at the front. But that's only one time, and the back IS different (and nicer), so at least I have a feeling it has changed. Apple changes too, but not as much as other companies.

Where the Nexus 4 really shines though is the OS. It's just a fact that you can do a whole of a lot more with Android. A whole lot more. Advantage of iOS is that it's fast(er) and intuitive. However, this gapp is gradually being closed as the Nexus 4 has virtually no lag at all, at least not really more than the iPhone. Some OS features do still lag though, even though the hardware is good enough to take care of them, which kind of sucks. As for intuitifity (is that a word?), in my opinion Android is not really any worse, and some would argue it's better. Things like having all your downloaded apps integrated (as stated in the gizmodo article above) is just better.

If you are going to tweak around with custom ROMs I wouldn't even doubt a second. The N4 has the price going for it (really, how can one not see that? The iPhone is twice as expensive, and it's certainly not twice as good), it has Android (which means tweaking, if you're into that), and now that the hardware is fast and Android became mature, it's also fast and intuitive without having to tweak around.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambomanx1:
Have both. While the iPhone is going back (merely because it is equally good but far more expensive), it is in my opinion the better looking device, definitely the more premium device, and iOS is still a little smoother, faster, and more consistent and refined than Android is at the moment. Google know Android has a way to go yet in terms of fit and finish, but in terms of features and flexibility, it is currently the market leader. And it is crystal clear that Google are heading in the right direction - ICS and JB were massive steps forward over what were pretty poor predecessors.

Which I prefer? Honestly, if I was given either I'd be chuffed. The iPhone's hardware is far superior, but I do feel that Android's multitasking makes it for me.

Battery life...Nexus 4 would get around 6 hours of screen on time browsing over Wi-Fi, iPhone, around 9. Very vague I know, but it's a rough estimate. Over 3G, about the same; the iPhone 5 doesn't seem to hold onto its power on standby well at all.

How to convince your friends? I wouldn't. Let them play, let them judge based on the price tag.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
iPhone: Faster, smoother, noticeably better cameras, noticeably better battery life, higher quality apps, less things to fix or workaround, much easier to use one handed (and I have large hands), much easier to back up, better build quality, significantly more choices in app and accessory ecosystem.

Nexus: Dramatically cheaper to own and use! Open - off contract, more customizable, widgets, accessible file system, more options for how to do things for the most part. It has a bigger display as well, but it gets in the way of one handed operation.

I like my Nexus 4 a lot, but if the iPhone was $350 and $30-50/month, it would be a tough decision to still go with the Nexus 4. I might, as I really like the usability and customizability of widgets and software like tasker and other utils, and being able access/stream/copy files to/from my network is really liberating. But there are still many rough edges to Android that don't exist with iOS.

If your friends are tinkerers and problem solvers Android is best. If they are not, and want the best user experience, let them keep their iPhones.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
iOS: high end device with latest technology right out of the box, for people that don't understand or doesn't like to tweak their devices.

Android: high end device with latest technology right out of the box, for people that understand and like to tweak their devices for good and better customization/performance.

The only thing iOS beats Android, it's the app quality (not all, but the majority).

But I'll be honest, I was kinda jealous of my girlfriend's iphone 5 (with my s2). But after getting my N4, she's jealous of my phone =D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambomanx1:
If we're talking about a lot of browsing throughout the day on Wi-Fi, I get close to 6 hours. Daily usage with the majority of it on 3G, less of course, probably around the 4 hour mark.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
Why do you feel the need to show them anything? Why do you think they are deluded? Maybe you should worry about your own stuff and they worry about theirs.

But like a number of other users have said, the pros for the n4 are custom roms/tinkering and price, if your friends don't care about those things then you aren't going to convince them the n4 is the better phone.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conradwoo:
Having just switched from an iphone 4 to the N4, the one thing that I can't believe hasn't been built into Android yet is lockscreen notifications. I understand you can pull the notification bar down, but I'd like to see something like iOS or Windows Phone 8 where I can see at a glance how many unread emails, msgs, missed calls I have without having to buy apps to do it. Not seeing the screen wake up when I receive a new notification is different too (also to quickly glance), but I'm getting used to that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
Yeaaa...... Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
I believe that Android phones by Sony has this feature built in (correct me if I am wrong), but it has yet to become a core android feature. I would like to see this added in too.

The Nexus 4 has a LED light that can be customized to show different colours for different notifications, which in theory should be more power efficient than having the screen wake up every time you receive a message. Definitely not as noticeable as the entire screen turning on, but then that would defeat the point of having the LED there in the first place... I am undecided on this issue.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the main difference (and one that I am especially grateful for) is that android has an accessible file system. You want to transfer some files into your phone from a computer? Just plug it in and cop&paste the files. Sure you can do the file transfer through dropbox or emails, but usb transfer is just so much more straightforward.

I think the nexus 4 looks much better than the iPhone. love the unbranded front, would be cooler if the back was unbranded too.

But it is a shame that the colors of the iPhone look a LOT better.

I like iOS its smooth it works

But i prefer the nexus 4 cause of bigger screen and android is more fun

Btw: why do u feel the need to prove something to your friends, i you probably got the nexus because u like it better no? Else u wouldve got an iphone... And well thats all that counts its YOUR phone not your friends
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I've had (have) both and it's just this simple... If you want a simple to use phone and don't mind zero customization (non JB'd), then the iPhone is the way to go. If you like to customize every aspect of your phone, then get the N4.

And jail breaking the iPhone shouldn't be a factor as there's no guarantee that there will always be a JB for your device/iOS version. That was my final straw on ditching the iPhone... I was tired of waiting and waiting for JB's to be released. No fault of the devs, it was apple being ****ty.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Careful... he may ask you to forward an email with edits, or send it from another account. Or even dial handsfree reliably with a modern bluetooth headset.

Bottom line is missing features exist on both phones, and frankly, more features that are supposedly supported are broken on Android than iOS. The fact is there are very few surprises in store for iOS users in this regard. Some may consider it boring, I consider it more solid.

There is no point bashing either phone for its intended feature list, these are design decisions, and you need to pick what works best for you. One is more polished, the other more versatile.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toebee76:
Apologies if this doesn't belong here. I have been searching for a solution for a few days now. A bit about what I am trying to do. I own a Pivos Xios android device. It is a set top box type thing for your tv. Unfortunately my tv is slightly older and is still vulnerable to the screen burning if a static image is left to long. It has no display timeout so none of the screen savers on the play store will work. I started to mess with Tasker to make my own, but there is no way to detect a screen touch event in Tasker to know when to toggle a screen saver.

I am a complete newb when it comes to scripting for android. I took a look at an app called script manager, it looks useful, but doesn't help me much right now. So I wonder if this is possible or not, but what I would like to do is have a script that senses when the touch events happen and then writes to a text file. It doesn't even have to write anything worth a value. Tasker can detect the change in the text file and trigger my screen saver event.

I found out that using getevent -lt /dev/input/event2 in a terminal gives me a nice list of all my touch events. Is there a simple way to use it for what I want? Is there anyone that could give me a code snippet to fulfill my needs? Or at the very least point me in the right direction?

Thanks for taking the time to read!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beluczywo:
All -- thank you for your fantastic work.

In the spirit of it, I'm going to submit some answers to questions I've had myself.

I'm not a newb, but I'm not a full-blown ROM creator either and there are some things that just were not obvious and not well explained elsewhere.

1. Can't see some apps after flashing JellyVerse and AGAT FK23 repack

Newer AGAT repacks don't work with APP2SD for some reason. Goes back at least to FG. FF18 I thiink was ok.

You'll notice all missing programs from Titanium restores are SD installs.

To fix it, you'll need to revert to the only other kernel (FL16) either using Windows ODIN, the one-click exe, or flashing from

AGAT to the zip version of the FL16 kernel. Of course you will lose the ability to do a NANDROID backup after this.

2. So how do I do a nandroid then?

Load mobile odin (free version on xda or pay version in play) and flash to AGAT long enough to do your nandroid, then toggle back

as shown in #1.

3. Triangle issues -- even the jig doesn't work.

E4GT's have the custom flag set in more than one place and neither the jig nor triangle away works. As you flash a non-stock

recovery you will increase the counter. It is said using mobile odin to do this instead of using Windows odin or one-click avoids the

non-custom counter, but I haven't tested it since mine had already been doing that for a while from my doing things not using mobile odin.

4. Mobile Odin won't flash the tar file of the stock EL16 ROM

Nope, it won't for some reason -- anyone know why? Creates a splash screen of death and requires a windows odin to fix it.

Some help wanted for me if anyone is willing.

A. Most efficient process to backup/restore all user apps, settings, files, etc. while playing with ROMs on a Daily Driver

My process is this:

Full Titanium refresh (rooted) -- apps and data

Nandroid

Copy IVONA, Loquendo by hand off internal SD into external SD for later restore of large downloadables

Call Log, SMS log apps used to save

Haven't found a good way to save voice mails -- they get lost during updates :(

Remove micro sd and clone to PC

Follow instructions for new ROM

Ensure root version

Titanium from play store

Restore apk's selectively (avoid ROM--specific ones)

Restore data even more selectively to avoid problems -- things like K9 mail, game progress, etc.

Weak points (can anyone help?)

Lose wallpaper

Lose voice mails

Lose app arrangement in customizable grid on touchwiz

B. Battery life issues

How to test?

Best settings? System apps have caused me more trouble than good -- obviously don't know what I'm doing with them.

I use Profile Scheduler for some quiet hours and Easy Battery saver for some basic turning off of wireless services and set my screen

to auto and a 30 second timeout. Anyone got any better ideas?

C. Suggestions on how to make the jump from an intermediate ROMmer to using Kitchens, custom packing kernels, etc?

Thanks all. Greatly appreciate you making my device infinitely more usable than it comes from the factory.

Hi all, over time the ROM I'm using has become a little glitchy.....mainly due to the inclusion then removal of various tweaks. I want to use Pepoluan's pristine wipe method, then re flash my current ROM (CM10 a2). However, I have some game progress/saves that I don't want to lose. What I'd like to be able to do, is locate these game save data files, make copies of them prior to wiping my phone, then re install them once I've re flashed the ROM and re downloaded all my apps from Google play. I don't have titanium backup on my phone (I'd rather not buy an app that I'm probably only going to use once). So I need to do it manually. Sounds easy don't it? Lol.....the thing is, I don't have a clue what the files I'm looking for are called.....and I've no idea where to look for them anyway.......

A Google search just comes up with apps that *would* do the job.....if only they were compatible with the games I want to save.....
