[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kpro1996:
Hello people, I know there are already threads about this but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong..

I was running cyanogenmod on my device when suddenly everything started to force close so I decided to try out another rom, Miui.

(http://agaragar-agaragar.appspot.com/xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2221606)

I have done this flashing of roms before already which went all well, so I decided it would be a good idea to forget to make a backup :silly:

and this is what I did:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

wipe dalvik cache

and then I tried to flash Miui, but it says:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/miui.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

what I tried to solve:

Redownloading the zip in different browsers.

Trying different recovery (first try was in CWM, then I tried TWRP)

Tried flashing from a different SD card

Tried reformating SD card

I also tried to flash different roms, but everything that I try to flash gives the same error, so I think there is a problem with my phone and not with the zip which I try to flash.

Also something went wrong while trying to solve the problem and now I dont have any OS installed on my phone so I can only use recovery and a PC to solve this problem.

Can you guys please help me?

I have been searching for a solution on the internet for a whole day now and I have still not found a solution!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nit_in:
try changing your sdcard

and check if you haven't have shortcut virus in your pc:confused:

try downloading new zip pack

and use twrp recovery ,go to advance options and open file manager, check there if there is any un-named folder in your sdcard delete it and then try flashing the rom.:fingers-crossed:

i hope this will work

hit thanks if helped:D:D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kpro1996:
I already tried using another sdcard

what do you mean with downloading a new zip pack?

I did try to redownload the rom though.

when I get back from school I will try the twrp recovery thingy, I hope it works!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
Try flashing garuda kernel first in my signature there is a link for it, after that try with some rom, I doubt that this will work but.... that's the best I can think of now. Changing recovery is maybe your best bet. Also try with some other rom, who knows.

i hope so

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kpro1996:
I now use twrp recovery,

when I pressed the button 'power off' in twrp it said:

Install Superuser

your device does not appear to be rooted

blah blah

so somehow my phone is de-rooted :confused:

I'm going to install superuser and then try to instal a rom, I will post what happened.

wish me luck :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kpro1996:
okay now ive insalled superuser again, I tried different zips the first 2 it was complaining something about md5 but the third one installed fine(my first succes since a long time :))

this means my phone is rooted again right? becauses twrp does not say it is not.

but I still cant install a rom though, but i haven't tried installing the kernel you mentioned, is this the right link for the download?

github.com/digitalcode

EDIT:

I couldn't find a good download for garuda kernel so I downloaded cranium kernel which installed fine!

but I can still not install a rom, I try to instal miui v4 revised, if that doesn't work i try to instal the stock west european rom, and if that doesn't work I try to install cm10, but nothing works all the same (bad) error!

help me, do I really need garuda kernel? if so can you please give me a download link to the zip?

EDIT 2:

Maybe if I use another PC to copy the zips to the SD, will that work?

I'm gonna try, I'm now open to try everything that comes to my mind, I really want my phone to be working again!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nit_in:
to skip thre md5 check on flashing rom

in twrp recovery go to settings and uncheck force md5 verification of zip file

and try to flash rom

if any error you get post it

if works hit thanks

ps:do not flash superuser before flashing rom

and do a clean installation,wipe everything and then flashing

if flashing sense or jaggy rom create ext partition

good luck mate

i wish this will work for u
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kpro1996:
SUCCES!!

I FINALLY GOT MY PHONE BACK!!!

I think the problem actually was with the copying of the file from my pc to the phone,what I normally did was : take out the sd card, put it in a reader and then copy the files to the sd.

Now I connected my phone while in twrp to my pc with a wire and then copied the zip file to the phone !!!

its such a simple solution but so hard to find!!

my phone is booting right now I hope it works!

it takes a long time, probably building the dalvik cache..

fingers crossed

Re: device

@MCEITLIN and @benmuliono

If your devices are paired then you can active syn over BT to sync your device and the pass-through to connect to the internet.

Indeed you can't browse the network because the network profile is not supported by the Bluetooth stack used in the XDA.

To be able to browse the network you've to use the WidCom Bluetooth stack and a BT dongle on you PC/Notebook/Laptop whatever which supports the network profile or PAN.

The WidCom bluetooth stack can be found on this forum

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saietor:
Really strange case:

I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2166542

I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.

I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.

I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.

Status:

On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.

Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).

On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.

I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.

So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.

Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!

However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:

I put Beeline card in

Manually select operator (Beeline)

Turn off the phone

Put in ATnT simcard

Turn the phone on

In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".

If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.

This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.

Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.

I'm running on CyanogenMod 10.1 , and out of nowhere, after using the phone for around 10 minutes, it loses all the signal, shuts down and starts boot looping for no reason at all, is there any way to fix this?

The only way i can get the phone to turn on is by removing the battery and letting it sit over night, or by placing it in the freezer for some minutes <.<
[HTC Sensation] FreakyDR:
Maybe your battery died? How old is it? Is the problem only in this rom?
[HTC Sensation] mazune:
I've had the problem with a previous ROM, it is roughly one year old, and how can i check if the battery is damaged? Also, in the last couple of days it happens for no reason, even when im not touching the phone, it loses the signal and goes into boot-loop
[HTC Sensation] Huongnv:
Tell me how long your battery charge from about 10% to full?

10% to 80% charge faster than 80% to 100%?

When your battery full charge. Shutdown and remove it. Install battery again turn on. Will it drop power about 5 to 10%?

Sr about my English. I'm from Vietnam
[HTC Sensation] mazune:

begin with arhd rom from mike's thread

it is the closest to the stock

before flashing the rom do:

nandroid backup from recovery just in case

full wipe from recovery

flash the rom

did you do format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext?

if yes and still not booting then try to use a ruu.exe

you will return into stock condition but you won't lose S-OFF

by the way i assume you flashed ics or jb roms!

I formatted everything ,flashed the .img required for ARHD 7.xx and still it reboots at the lock screen after half a second

The lock screen thingy only with ARHD, on CM10 it keeps bootlooping and it RARELY works for like 20 minutes

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psi-jack:
Hello everyone!

I've been using Android now for roughly about 4 years or so, been rooting, using custom ROMs and all sorts of stuff accross multiple carriers, including Virgin Mobile, Sprint, and now T-Mobile.

Anyway, recently I got a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to replace my old Sprint HTC Evo 3D (both phone and service changes heh), because, well, it was beyond time.

Pretty good stuff, actually! Loving TouchWiz over Sense, I never liked Sense at all, ended up always replacing it with another launcher, but with TouchWiz, I'm actually rather quite enjoying it overall.

I do actually have a curious question for people here though.

The case I decided to go with for my Galaxy Note 2 is the Spigen Valentinus wallet case which has a nice button snap and 4-slots for card holding, but it seems to close REALLY tight when it's actually got 4 cards in it. My Evo 3D I had used a hip-holstered Siedio ACTIVE case which lasted a couple months short of 2 years (for the holster part, the case actually lasted the whole time otherwise). I didn't go with Siedio this time because I just couldn't picture myself having a 5.5" screened device on my hip, and a rubberized case is rather hard to get in and out of my pockets.

My screen protector I went with is what I've been using since my HTC Evo 3D, which is the Zagg brand invisibleShield, their "HD" model, but with this particular wallet case, I've noticed a couple issues. If I actually do fully fill the wallet with cards, primarily plastic credit-card sized cards, including 4 actual credit/debit cards, it's so tight that it presses hard against the screen which in turn, for the Zagg invisibleShield causes a rainbow effect to appear on the middle of the screen, where the thickest point of the wallet becomes with all the cards in.

This "heals" after having it open for about 20 minutes or so, but it's really frustrating to see it. Also, with the GN2's S-Pen, I've used it to write things down, take screenshots of sections of screen, you know, playing around mostly, but even to this day, ~2 weeks after getting the phone, i still see the indents of where I drew with the S-Pen... As in, they are not going away, ever.

I was wondering what people might actually suggest here. I've contacted Spigen about the issue and asked them what they feel the issue could be, and they actually gave me a rather technical and seemingly accurate reason why the insivibleShield does what it does, due to the type of plastic used.

So I'm thinking about the Spigen Steinhall Crystal Clear screen protector as a replacement for it.

Appreciate any suggestions or comments on this,

Psi-Jack
