Can anybody tell me if the giffgaff SIM unlock tool works or do I need to buy a code ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacktrix2006:
The only way to unlock is via a s-off bootloader. If you pm me a link to giffgaff unlock too I will have a look. I am on giffgaff and it worked with my DHD before I unlocked mine.

My DHD was with orange. So the chances are if you have a CID of HTC__001 it will work without a code or unlock tool.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Lies. You don't need S-OFF for SIM unlock.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacktrix2006:
My apologies you can Sim unlock without s-off using gfree. GuyInTheCorner Accept my apologies no offense was ment.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
S-OFF and simunlock are different. You can always sim unlock your device with the IMEI code provided by your carrier without even being S-OFF. The fact is that everyone relates S-OFF to sim unlock because both are gained by gfree exploit.

I suggest reading first all the possible documentation / information to avoid misleading posts or suggestions.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] lie_ui:
You can use the backup utility in your XDA to perform full back up of your device into an SD card. Once you hard reset your device, then you load back your backup from your SD card.

If you use Outlook to sync email, calendar, contact, etc, there is also a third party software that would extend your Outlook to include SMS tab. That might be the best way to keep a backup copy of your SMS always. Forgot the name of the app, but if you search the topic in the forum, you will find it, many ppl asked about this before.

Hi guys!! While most of us are keen to keep running the latest android versions on 'The King', our HD2, just wondering if your views are similar to mine with the battery drain on most Jelly Bean ROMs as compared to ICS and Gingerbread ROMs.

Please share your experiences and benchmarks for the maximum battery life you've got with a particular Jelly Bean ROM... :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Battery drain on JB was marginally higher than ICS/GB for me. However, in standby on NexusHD2 I got 7 days 9 hours (well, a bit more) of battery life with literally no usage (highest drain was Mobile Standby)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nyvram1:
seems like the WIFI is the biggest drain on my HD2 (see the ROM I'm running below)

also BT hangs occasionally and turns the phone into a hot coal and the battery will die within an hour.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
For my experience with NexusHD2 I can said I had amazing battery life after the first flash, after that I did a mess with my rom and I had to reflash the rom, never had the battery life like the first time, after flashing and flashing again the battery brain fast but all in the same time. I think the installation is very important in this part.

[HTC One V] kcls:
Hey everyone! I bought my sister the CDMA One V for Christmas, to replace her aging Optimus V. I had rooted and modded her Optimus, and by the time she moved on to the One, it was basically unusable because it randomly rebooted so much.

I've been trying to stay away from rooting/romming her One since she got it, because I don't want to get back into the random reboot fiasco again and have her be complaining to me all the time about her phone not working.

Watching her use the phone sometimes though is actually painful. The thing is so slow. Transition animations are terrible. The thing randomly reboots on a daily basis. I've yet to do a single thing to it.

So my questions are:

1. Is this One V defective? With the random reboots on the stock ROM, unrooted?

2. If yes, I bought it from eBay, brand new, in unopened box. What's my best course of action for getting a new one/getting it repaired for free/cheap?

3. If it's not defective, could it be an app causing these reboots?

4. Is there a COMPLETELY bug free ROM out there for this thing that will at least speed it up some?

Thanks for answering any of these questions!

i have the jellybeans rom installed, with the 4.2 camera app. I had the 4.2 for my galaxy nexus and it worked wonnderfully. however, on the note 2, whenever i try to record video(any resolution), the screen aspect ratio gets all weird on me. ill take a couple screenshots. Also, photosphere doesnt work, it doesnt force close or anything, it just keeps glitching out at the "align to start" thinger. i think the gyroscope or something is fcked.

if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated, as i have been using the 4.2 since my gnex. cant find the other camera appealing to me.

also, im on perseus kernel if that helps

*right after posting i found the fix for video. it does it whenever i switch from photo to video recording. STIll cant figure out photosphere though.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Using CWM 5.0.2.0, when I try to format /data, I get:

Error formatting /data!

When I try to format /cache, I get:

Error formatting /cache!

This all started because I decided to try Albinoman's AOSP 4.2 ROM. This is what happened:

1. Booted into CWM 5.0.2.0, made a nandroid backup of stock GB ROM.

2. Installed Albinoman's ROM using CWM, wiped /cache and /data.

3. Booted Albinoman's ROM, no problems. Decided I wanted to backup and restore some apps in the old ROM using Titanium Backup.

4. Restored nandroid backup of stock ROM. When it rebooted, all was well.

5. Used Titanium Backup to back up my apps.

6. Installed Albinoman's ROM again.

7. Cleared /data, it was fine. Cleared /cache. Stuck at "formatting" for half an hour.

8. Rebooted back to recovery and tried it again. Couldn't find E:.

9. Tried letting it boot. Stuck on the boot animation for 30-minutes.

10. Wipe everything and re-flash. Tried again. Still stuck on boot animation.

11. Manually unmount and tried to format /data and /cache, and I get the error messages.

I had installed Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip to the stock ROM about 4-months ago, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

When I search, it looks like the news is bad... most people that had this error gave up and believed it to be hardware NAND failure. Anything I can do to confirm or rule out NAND failure?

UPDATE: Managed to flash RUU, but results were interesting. It worked and it boots, home screen is blank (no HTC widgets), and apps I'd installed are still there. Clear Storage and Factory Reset does not get rid of them! I can manually uninstall apps, but when I reboot, they come back. I guess the /data must be stuck in some kind of read-only state.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Did you reflash the Convert2Ext4 mod after you flashed the new rom? See this thread and read the top part after 'IMPORTANT:' There is a link in there to the old thread as well with a lot of info.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I did try that, but my /data and /cache are still unable to be written to, wiped, or formatted.

e2fsck won't touch /data, it has a superblock error. It finds errors on /cache and appears to be fixing them, but when I re-run it, the same errors are still there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Since you flashed the RUU, did you install an EXT4 compatible kernel or are you using the stock kernel? Maybe try restoring your working nandroid backup, then run the .zip to revert Convert2Ext4. Or even better, if you have a nandroid from before you installed the EXT4 mod.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Wiping /data and /cache are enough to revert the mod.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Uggh, definitely doesn't sound so good. Since the RUU won't work, I'd say check out this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123966
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Yep, my partitions are no longer EXT4. #1 is EXT3 and #2 is EXT2. I guess that means Convert2Ext4 is no longer in play and the problem is unrelated.

Here is my parted:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

2 797MB 1007MB 210MB primary ext2
3 1007MB 7944MB 6937MB primary fat32 lba

Yeah, I read that thread and it didn't sound encouraging! I get pretty much the same errors.

Even rm 1 and rm 2 don't remove the partitions. It's like they're read-only. I'm using the parted from CWM 5.0.2.0. Should I use a different one?

Is MMCBLK0 one physical NAND chip? If so, how come I can read/write/erase the /emmc with no problems? Isn't that just another partition on the same NAND disk?

If /data and /cache are really bad, is there any possible way to do an equivalent of a low-level format on the NAND and repartition?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Is booting CWM 5.0.2.0 and using adb shell supposed to have root privileges?

I can't modify the partition table using either parted or fdisk. I even tried zeroing the partitions using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1, p2, and even the whole of mmcblk0, but nothing actually gets written.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Since it seems like the NAND is probably irreparably borked, can I approach this problem from a different angle?

Can I partition my sdcard with an ext3 and ext2 partition, and tell Android to use those as /data and /cache respectively?

What in Android maps /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 to /data and /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 to /cache, and can I change those to point to partitions on sdcard?

Or is that hard-coded into the kernel?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
It is hard coded into the kernel. To get root in adbshell try typimg su. This seems to be happening to more and more people as these phones get up there in age.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
The answer is yes to both actually. Thrle boot.img would need to be customized. The best way is a flashable zip in recovery. Data and cache would need to be wiped manually ad recovery will not pick this up. Expect poorer performance though as SD cards tend to be slower than built in storage.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks! So it sounds like the way to make this work is to compile a custom kernel? I don't know the first thing about it, but I think I could learn.

This is only in the kernel, so I could flash any 3rd party D-Inc ROM and just flash my customized kernel and it will see /data and /cache on the sdcard?

I could probably get one of those fast Class 10 cards if it turns out this is too slow, but I do recall changing vold.fstab once to fool Android into seeing /emmc as /sdcard and the /emmc (as /sdcard) didn't benchmark all that much faster than a real sdcard. I'm assuming /data and /cache are the same speed as /emmc since they're on the same mmcblk0 device, so I'm thinking maybe sdcard performance would be acceptable.

This actually sounds like it could be a better long-term solution than replacing the motherboard because no telling if a new motherboard will fail soon too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
The motherboard should be reliable. Emmc may die. Especially considering how old current dincs are.

I was talking about the boot.img which is not ROM independent and kernels aren't always either. Best idea is a flashable zip to modify the ram disk but I need the partition names if you decide to do it. I recommend keeping cache and data in the same order.

Also there would need to be a flashable wipe script to wipe data and cache.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. By motherboard failing, I was assuming NAND is soldered to the motherboard, and if that's the case, ruined NAND = ruined motherboard. I had thought maybe I could buy a DInc with smashed LCD and good motherboard and just swap into mine (because mine is MINT condition), but I thought if I do that, I could very well end up in the same place as I'm in now and using sdcard would be more of a guarantee I wouldn't have to worry about this again.

I think I understand, the boot.img and kernel aren't exactly the same thing, but the kernel is part of boot.img? Or is it only the RAMDisk that needs changed, or both? You mentioned partition names, are you offering to make these modifications for me?

By same order, do you mean because mmcblk0p1 is /data, mmcblk0p2 is /cache, and mmcblkp3 is /emmc, I should partition my sdcard the same way with data 1st, cache 2nd, and sdcard 3rd?

Should I partition it with the phone, PC, or does it matter? Should the sizes of the new /data and /cache be the same size as original, or is there any reason I should make them larger?

Could I wipe the new /data and /cache simply by booting into Recovery and using adb shell and format them?

Also, the commands I was issuing in adb shell were from booting into CWM Recovery. Is it possible that mode can't write because I didn't login as root using the su command? I hadn't thought that would be the problem seeing as how the RUU and Android itself can't write to /data and /cache and other people managed to fix partition problems without needing to run su.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
The NAND is likely soldered to the motherboard, so you're right about that.

To answer your first question, yeah, the kernel is part of the boot.img. The other part is the RAMdisk which is the only thing that needs to be changed.

Partition it in the same order. Probably parted via adb shell. 100MB for cache and at least 750MB for data. Sizes don't matter too much but you want enough.

adb shell has root access automatically in recovery. The issue is hardware most likely so your proposed workaround may be the only option.

First plan of attack is to find the partition names which would be mmcblk1p1 and mmcblk1p1 if you partition the sdcard the same way as the ROM is partitioned. Ideally you need to be able to fix the partitions themselves. I'll try to give more info later.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I copied the partition sizes from mmcblk0, so here's what I have on my 16GB SD card:

Model: SD SA16G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk1: 16.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 8192B 797MB 797MB primary ext2
2 797MB 1007MB 210MB primary ext2
3 1007MB 16.0GB 15.0GB primary fat32 lba

mmcblk1p1 for /data

mmcblk1p2 for /cache

mmcblk1p3 for /sdcard

Will that work? I couldn't get mmcblk1p1 to show up as ext3. I did use mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to format it and I've read ext3 = ext2+journal, so I guess the fact it's not saying "ext3" under filesystem is okay?
