[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
I figured out that the bootloader needs to be updated
[HTC ChaCha] lil.masoud:
I think u must update ur bootloader ...because when i rooted my phone i had the RUU ARA 1.57.415.4 ,,,,
[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
In fact this question is along time ago and i found the solution myself and this was the reason why i made a thread called Update The Bootloader (which you asked me about it)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] hcnsoft:
Hi !

I have a problem with upgrading ROM. When I am

upgrading the error message is appeared " Error

Serial/USB port....." something like that. But the

device starts to upgrade with progress bar, and it

does not start yet just appear the upgrade message.

After error message the Program A shutdown itself

without restart to upgrade again. I don't know what to

do? And I unplug it from its cradle and try to

softreset and hardreset. I hope that it will be back

to my windows, but it still shows the upgrade message

and progress bar. And after 2 or 3 hours the screen

become black and white horizontal zebra. How can I

restore to my pocket pc 2002?

Best reguard,
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
You have to use SD card with a card reader/writer to load the ROM nbf file on the card .. the chances are good that you didn't loose the boot loader
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] hcnsoft:
Hope !

It mean my XDA doesn't die yet. I've read this forum for a few days and I found the advice for rescue my XDA, and you show me the key so I'm very happy. The program is XDArit v1.02, and I have MMC 256MB but I didn't buy a Card reader yet. I'm not sure that MMC can do. The instruction in that topic is not clear for me, so would you mind if I need some details for doing this from you.

Thank you in advance, :o
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
I didn't use MMC card for ROM flashing before, so I can't confirm it works.

Use XDAtools instead if XDRit. Cope the .nbf file to the SD card then go to the boot loader (soft reset while holding power)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] hcnsoft:
Thank you very much for your reply imediately.

The XDATools that I've downloaded, it doesn't work properly because the message is "Missing RAPI.dll". Where can I get that file?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] juhs:
Hi, I have gotten myself into a sticky situation and I could use a little advice. I rooted my SGH-I317 Note 2 (AT&T) and installed a custom ROM. After installation, I noticed that my network connection was unavailable and I could not make/receive calls etc. My sys restore fails with the MD5 error, so I was looking for a solution to make the fix happen. I tried installing a stock ROM but I'm still showing "unknown" baseband version so I'm assuming I need a ROM with my correct firmware? Any help is appreciated.. 7:30am here and been working on this all night. I need my phone! : )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Im pretty sure if you find the correct modem for your note (at&t) and flash that in recovery it should get your phone calls working again.

[HTC One X] tiwmu246:
Hi i have an HTC one x telecom NZ running stock JB 4.1.1 I just wanted to know if i can root it and will be able to install custom rom on it. I have rooted my htc one x before and trying installing cyanogen mod 10.1 but there are no ways to update to the higher hboot capable of installing custom roms as telecom firmware has a cid of TELNZ001. Many people have the same problem in NZ and are not able to install any other roms other than the original stock roms. Telecom NZ has finally pushed official JB update for HTC one x so i unrooted my device to receive the OTA update and it is running fine but the experience is still not that good with sence 4+ skin so i really want to run a custom rom. Anyone please help and suggest any ways i could install custom rom onto it. Also i am not really sure if rooting method is the same as when it was running stock ICS 4.0.3.

I truly appreciate all your help.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Rooting is still the same, and yes you should be able to run any custom rom out here. Make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom. Because you have a rare CID !

After you hit the download button:

Remove the phone from the USB cable connected to the computer.

Turn-off the Phone (if it is On)

Wait for 30 seconds

Now plug the USB cable into the Phone which is connected to the computer, the flashing should start. (DO NOT switch on the phone using the power button)

The computer should automatically detect the Phone as MediaTek Preloader COM8 device.

Let me know the result.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

Okay!! So what would be the steps in porting lewa os to this device?

Does porting the ROM include inclusion of a new kernel also? I ask because I'm not sure if all of this device's drivers are available.

Also, do you have a document you'd like to recommend for ROM porting task?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] somberi:
Nice to know you got the CWM recovery flashed!

ROM porting has to be trial and error :) (And now we have the CWM recovery and it is possible) Choose the ROM closest to our device and follow any one of the tutorials available here on XDA.

No alternate kernel as the sources are not released. We'll have to use the stock kernel. We would pick all the drivers from the stock rom and move it to the ROM that we are porting to.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I would stick to whatever you choose. You seem to be the most skilled of us using this device. My intent is to help assist you and learn the ROM porting process. You mentioned heading with Lewa OS. What howto would you recommend me to start with?

And would it make sense you put the ROM porting work online somewhere (maybe in a Git repo) ? We can monitor and collaborate.

Stuck at boot

With all the ROMs that I've ported (MIUI and LeWa), I'm stuck at the boot screen. At that stage, adb can't be used. All it reports is "waiting for device".

Does anyone have a recommendation how to investigate the boot stage pause?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Just answering to my own post.... Customizing the init script to start adbd early in the boot resolves the logging problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Stuck at boot

Here the new problem I'm stuck at:

I tried 2 ROMs (MIUI and LeWA), both of which get stuck at boot.

I traced the boot and trapped the log for both the stock ROM and the ROMs I'm trying to port.

The major difference that I could conclude is this:

The faulty ROM has a problem with the atci-ril service. Here's the error msg:

fail to open atci-ril socket. errno:2

This, in trun, is one of the important service that establishes the communication channel in between the GSM Stack and the RIL Daemon. This error message keep repeating throughout the boot stuck process.

Anyone has any clue for the cause of this problem? Did I miss (which I think I definitely did - just don't know which one) any system library/firmware from the OEM dude!!!!

Or is this a known issue with MTK Device? If anyone wants the full logs, I can share them. I have both the logs.
