Hipstreet Flare 2 Firmware and Reset

After searching for the past hour, I finally found a solution that works

Basically I had a Hipstreet Flare 2 (HS-9DTB7-8GB) and this morning it was stuck at the boot screen (showing just "@9" logo). It would display that boot screen logo for about 15-20 seconds and then keep rebooting on its own over and over.

I tried to get to a recovery menu multiple times but failed.

I finally found an official firmware file from the Hipstreet site with instructions on how to restore firmware and reset device.

Just visit "flare2 (dot) hipstreetonline (dot) ca"

(sorry if I'm not allowed to post direct links...this is my first post and I just wanted to help others that are stuck)

The instructions listed on that page and very easy to follow.

Hope this helps :)

Instructions and Link to Firmware

UPDATE:

I've added mirror links at MEGA:

Firmware File: https[COLON]//mega.co.nz/#!FEJQlbiJ!SFhWBG_vHEPoGYX8HnOZrt1Cy3opph8adkAacJFQmKI

Manual: https[COLON]//mega.co.nz/#!UBRGhDDL!2RuHFSQFH8elYoVizn0mev4YeTale7YdeqMD9qffcaU

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems like the Hipstreet site is down. I had a few people message me looking for the stock firmware and instructions so I'll post a link to the Firmware file and the Hipstreet Manual:

Firmware File: www[DOT]tusfiles[DOT]net/7a3fp69oho38

Manual: www[DOT]tusfiles[DOT]net/r2oyb24lynxj

1. Download the file from the link above.

2. Unzip the file into one folder.

3. Format a microSD card (erase everything on it). Then copy the 4 files that you unzipped and copy them into the root directory of the microSD card.

4. Power off your Flare 2 unit (ensure that there is at least 50% battery left).

5. Insert the microSD card you loaded with files in step 3 into your Flare 2.

6. Hold the VOL UP button and the POWER button, and wait for the scrolling Android screen.

7. Let go of both buttons and flashing will begin. Please wait for flashing to complete.

You have successfully flashed your Flare 2.

Can't boot recovery!!

Is there any option for me if my Hipstreet Flare 2 won't boot into recovery using Volume and Power buttons?

[HTC Rezound] coltstrgj:
Hey guys, I have a few questions. I looked around a bit before posting this, but I may have missed some stuff so if I need to remove this thread just let me know that I should have looked harder(and kindly provide a link please).

First I would like to know how to get into "Themeing". I want to know how to change the colors mostly. I can usually find the file I need to edit in order to change the icon shape, but If I'm not mistaken, the colors are probably controlled in an xml file. They may all look for a "central file" that contains the colors, or I may need to change each one individually. If there is a central file could someone help me find out what it is.

I have only found how to edit apps, so here's where I get a major case of the noobs. Are the system colors controlled by the launcher or the theme or is there a UI that can be edited what do I need to do. I want to be able to change the number styles, the fonts of the keyboard, and all that jazz. The most important thing, though; is that I need to be able to change the colors. I really don't have an issue with the current fonts and don't have a good idea what to replace them with anyway.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that the above train wreck is over I have some harder questions.

I also want to get into developing. I will probably start by modifying someone else's. (side question, could I re-release theirs with my changes just so that people could test it provided I ask and give them credit. I know this depends on the person, but is it taboo, or just a no for some people) I already read through and followed shrike1978's. It was possibly the best thing that could have happened to me. It showed me that it was actually possible to do for someone with less android experience. (link)

But after I have built it what do I need to do to get started modifying it? I'm not even sure what all I want to do, but is there any suggestions of a starter project, as well as a how to do it?(maybe changing the launcher, or something like that)

Also I have been using xfce linux mint on a second hard drive of 75 gigs. Will this be an ok setup? Should I switch to ubuntu although I don't really like it as much?

Should I be s-off or on (maybe on so that I know that they will be supported)? Also is there any good vm's that run in linux and will run android?

I probably missed a few questions that I intended to ask, so I will edit them in when needed.

I plan to make a how to thread on my findings(hopefully good enough shrike gives me a :highfive: for doing a good job) so everyone who helps (provided I actually learn how and am capable of making the how to) will be thanked in my future famous thread

Also I apologize for any miss-types. I will do my best to correct them, but my keyboard is pretty broken (it took a tumble when I moved home for winter break)
[HTC Rezound] coltstrgj:
I figured out the fonts(at least for the few roms I checked). They are easy to change and add. They are controlled in a system_fonts.xml in the "\system\etc" folder of the rom. The files that they represent are in the "\system\fonts" folder of the rom. The xml file has a pretty good explanation of how it is read, so adding your own should be pretty easy.

If anyone here has any suggestions even if you dont know for sure let me know please.;

First try reinstalling the same zip via any custom recovery, it may help. But make sure to back up your root via OTA Rootkeeper, there are chances you may lose root after reinstalling. BTW which ROM or leak you are on?

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
Higher class, better cards. There are the following classes: 2; 4; 6; 8 and 10. 4th and 6th classes are quite sufficient.

I have 10th class of 16 GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Rohit02:
Ya brand doesnt matter but the class. Transcend has life long warranty. :) I have transcend 8Gb class 4 sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] ahmedteling:
for mobile phones its recommended class 4

so next time , when i will buy a 16 gb card i will buy any brand and only it matter the class to be 4 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Rohit02:
NO my frend.. Class does matters but if you are taking 16Gb you can take class 10, that is very good(best) :)

brand is nothing but only for reliability.. transcend is any tym better than kingston n all.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Advanced Ali-001:
sd card class

mean of Class of sd card is about speed that sd card have.

class 2 = 2 mb/s

class 4 = 4 mb/s

class 6 = 6 mb/s

class 10 = 10 mb/s

the best is class 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] ahmedteling:
the phone can damage the sd card if it cannot reach the minimum speed of sd card

i put a sd card class4 in an old samsung mobile , after only one day the sd card damaged , the sd card was adata so its not fault of manufacturer

I`m sorry if i`m wrong but isn`t MicroSD limited to 4 GB and MicroSD HC is better and higher capacity but incompatible with Samsung Fit ?!
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] ehsan-black:
transcend 8GB Class 4.

if you have problem with your SdCard you can try "check disk " tool in windows! right-click on your drive in MyComputer and in tools tab hit check now. or open cmd (command prompt) and simply type :

chkdsk f:

"f:" is your SdCard change it to your SdCard Letter. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] JatinSoni:
[info]

Currently, the SD Association recognizes two Speed Classes: “Speed Class” and “UHS Speed Class.”

==========================================================================

Speed Class applies to SD, miniSD, microSD, SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC, SDXC and microSDXC cards. These are denoted by a class number within a C-shaped logo. The higher the class number, the faster the card. In order to bear the SD Speed Class logo, card manufacturers have to adhere to the minimum standards set out by the SD Association.

=============================================================================

Class	Minimum performance

Class 2	2 MB/sec

Class 4	4 MB/sec

Class 6	6 MB/sec

Class 10	10 MB/sec

Class 2 is the slowest SD card speed. Class 2 has a write speed of about 2 Mb/s and is suitable for standard definition video recording. Class 4 and Class 6 have write speeds of about 4 Mb/s and 6 Mb/s, respectively, and can be used for HD video recording. Class 10 SD cards have write speeds of 10 Mb/s and up and are designed to operate under the high speed bus interface. Beyond Class 10 is the UHS Speed Class. UHS stands for ultra high speed and includes cards that have speeds up to 312 Mb/s. The UHS speed class logo includes a number contained within a U-shape.

Generally, if you want to shoot HD video or if you plan on taking a lot of high-resolution photos in quick succession (or use a digital SLR's RAW image file format), buy a Class 10 card. If you're planning to just take snapshots or occasionally show videos, Class 4 or Class 6 will do.

Hi,it's my first time on WP,i've always used iOS !

Yesterday i bought a used Lumia 800 with WP 7.5 installed and i updated it using Zune . Now i want to instal some .xap files on it,but i have no idea how to. I read that i gotta unlock it (smth similar to jailbreak) but chevpronwp7 seems to be out of work. How can i jailbreak this phone ? Thanks in advance

PS : I'm a beeginer,so excuse any mistake please !
[Nokia Lumia 800] Lanex777:
If you have an unlockable bootloader, you can unlock it by installing custom rom, though I doubt that you are still able to do it because you updated the phone via Zune. To check it, read the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587650

If you have dload, than the only way to install xaps is to get a developer account. It costs 99 bucks, but there are ways to avoid paying. But it will let you install maximum 10 apps.

Hi,

Beleive me I HAVE really searched on how to do this. I tried to just run the 5.17 patch but i could not download the old version of XDArit to put the patch on my SD card. Its 1.39MB but has taken 1 hour to get 95% down.

Anyway - i figure rather than screw around with bootloader 5.17 i'd be better of with 5.15

Question is - how do i install the copy of bootloader 5.15 that comes with XDAtools onto my device!

The image copy program doesnt assoicate with the .nbo file types! Help - i have spent the last three hours trying to get past dam 5.17 so i can upgrade to 2003.

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] janos:
Ok - i downloaded the old XDArit finaly and made a diag card with the patch in both 1 and 3.5 header and the device never saw it.

So

I worked out how to downgrade to 5.15 bootloader, it was straight forward this time, didnt work the first time i tried though!!

All you need to do is run the batchfile in XDAtools folder called "bootloaderfix" say yes to the warning and it will pop up a black command window. Wait 1 minute or so and that window will close - you now have 5.15! :D

Once I had 5.15 my wm2003 image sd was recognised when i ran the bootloader :lol:

I am now running WM2003 :lol: :D :lol:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfgrrl:
Is this your first backup to Carbon? If it is, I would expect it to take time relative to the amount of items there are to back up on your device.

Does Carbon do incremental back ups, or does it completely back everything up every time it runs?

So, let me start by saying I'm an idiot.

I made an attempt to update my CWM and CM rom the other night. Went through the update, updated CWM to 5.0.2.7 and attempted to update to the CM 10.1 rom. Received an assert failed error. Discovered after some testing an research that in my wisdom i flashed the international kernel for the YP-g70 on my us version of the player. I have attempted everything I can think of, including flashing the correct tar file through ODIN and even using the NAND wipe to attempt to start from scratch. 5.0.2.7 is still on my player regardless of what I have done and I cannot flash any roms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Just got weirder. It fully booted, then sort of shut off the screen when i touched it. I turned the screen back on, and then it rebooted again.

Do a full wipe, flash stock kernel and try again. If that doesnt work lock bootloader again and flash stock ruu.

[Nexus 10 General] dknotty:
So I have an Asus Infinity at the moment. Not very happy with it as it lags terribly and its user experience isn't great (vastyl improved with CleamRom but still not seemless).

I'm thinking of replacing the TF700 with a Nexus 10 or a Sony Tablet Z when its out towards the end of May. Ideally I'd have a tablet with a microSD card but for the £100 (+) differential over the tablet Z I may be able to live with this.

Anyone else thinking about either of these tablets? Any other thoughts or comments?
[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
I have the Nexus 10 and i'm really happy with it. Once I saw the weight and how thin it is, I liked it. However, the price, the angle of the screen, the battery (6000 mah and nexus 10 has 9000), and also the long time that sony takes to upgrade the android, made me not care about this tablet.
[Nexus 10 General] AM Radio:
@OP: in the exact same boat.

the TF700 has gotten worse over time, despite CleanROM, Brower2RAM, other tweaks — or perhaps my tolerance for a $500 tablet performing like crap has finally diminished to the point where i'm just can't take it anymore.

Tablet Z sounds great, but like IKBZI has stated, the puny battery could definitely be an issue. also viewing angles on the phone Z has been pretty crap, just hope that the tablet is better. microSD is a plus though. the premium price you pay for a Sony irks me though, especially when it's not even running the latest OS version.

that said, i think the Nexus 10 is also a contender because of the front-facing speakers and that massive resolution. i already have a tablet with 1920 x 1200 resolution, you know? however, the colour gamut sucks and maybe there isn't enough horsepower to push all those pixels consistently (based on various reports of lag, etc. -- i know there are plenty happy about it though). plus having to pay extra for a pogo charger, and still have slow charge times, etc.

i'm waiting to see how the Z turns out in reviews, but also eagerly awaiting news of a what a next-gen Nexus 10 might look like.
