[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
Im not sure with ext partitions, but with fat, and fat32 you might be able to recover deleted files with certain utilities. Might be able to recover the playlists that way.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
good thought I think I know what you are getting at maybe I'll give that a go...
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
Yeh tried that but it didn't work in emergency call so I factory resetted it , no need now.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
any suggestions for a good t-mobile usa rom?
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
oh and if the playlists weren't deleted (if they are one the sdcard) wouldnt they still show up? cause now in the stock music app they are gone, does this mean they are gone for sure? or just not loaded or something?
[HTC Rezound] Insertnamehere12:
Yea they are gone for good, if they were stored on the External SD card they would have shown up again on reset

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

SD cards are formatted with FAT32 File system.

Data recovery your talking about works with Magnetic Media, not so much with flash memory.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
Oh and one more thing, will unlimited.io work with the latest 4.0.3 official ice cream sandwich os?

cause I've heard it said that you either need official gingerbread or a specific leak of ics...

also, suggestions for good t-mobileusa rom?
[HTC Rezound] Insertnamehere12:
Not sure what version I was on when I did my S-OFF, you'd have to check with the S-OFF Team.

I personally like the Sense Based ROMs, My Favorite was Venom when I was using the rezound... but that was way back when we were all waiting for the nekt Pkmn rom lol
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
It said the factory ruu so I just assume im good? and does venom or venosaur work good on t-mobileusa? cause i know they are gsm compatible but not sure about the sending text messages issue etc
[HTC Rezound] Insertnamehere12:
RUU = Rom Update Utility. This is HTC's method of quickly wiping a phone and doing a full install of their software from partition images a specific build from their code.

The factory RUU is the ROM from HTC, stock no changes how HTC developed it. Usually this is the full version what verizon will update your phone too when they push the update to your phone. Some phones there are RUU's floating around that verizon rejected so HTC could never release them.

Its been a LONG time since I've followed the Rezound crowd closesly, and I've never used a GSM based service. Each ROM thread will tell you what is not working, what is working, and/or what tweaks that you have to make when using as GSM. Some have options built in to the installer, that recovery will run when you flash the zip, that will flash a patch for GSM based roms to fix small issues.

If you have any questions, ask them in the ROM thread that your thinking about, someone will usually answer if its not already in the thread.
[HTC Rezound] tholmes8291:
A piece of coax cable stripped about 1/4 inch on each end works well
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
what drivers do i need for linux to do the s-off and does it factory reset? i rebuilt the playlists, will i lose them again?

And what ever happened to joelz's roms, like venosaur and venomrez, I look in the posts and they just all the sudden died... it seems a lot of roms threads have been closed now like the Newts OnE XxX, trying to figure out best rom for t-mobile usa
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
After losing my playlists once, I handmade them to be placed in my music folder in the .m3u format.

Basically just a txt file saved with the extension m3u, text formatted as:

For all files in same dir as the playlist:

Adrenaline.mp3
Demon in my head.mp3
Ghost Dance.mp3

Or when your mp3s (or whatever) are nested in folders like Music/Artist/Album/Song, and the m3u is in the Music folder:

Combichrist/Everybody Hates You/05 Blut Royale.mp3
The Protomen/Act II - The Father Of Death/10 Light Up The Night.mp3
Assjack/Assjack/07 Cocaine the White Devil.mp3

If you do it this way, then as long as your music is still there, your playlists (m3u) will still be there, and since you know where it is, you can back it up yourself much easier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhugall:
Hi everyone.

First post here.

I recently bought a "GooPhone i5" from DHgate. It arrived and on the whole I'm kinda happy with it. I wanted to update to a new rom to fix the 'unlock' issue and the battery use is poor and wifi is even worse.

I tried to reboot into recovery mode (power button and -) but I get a factory screen with options I don't understand. Power button and + just gives the android droid with his guts hanging out showing a warning sign.

After some googling it appears I have bought a fake of a fake but an impressive one at that, it looks and feels the part and is very quick and responsive. It came with no chinese apps installed and the playstore good to go. I have no problems installing software apart from a strange YouTube bug which won't let me sign in, only watch.

Anyway I noticed there was another thread similar to mine but the phone appears to be different. Here are some system specs:

Manufacturer: Alps.

CPU: Arm V7 rev 0 (v71)

Processor: 1

Android Version: 4.1.2

Hardware: MT6589 (also reports later down that it's a mt6577…confusing).

Battery: 3627mv

GPU: PowerVR SGX 531

Now another thing strange with this phone is that it has no lighting connector only a micro USB (which to be fair I prefer).

So really I'd like to know what the hell this thing is and if it's eligible for any custom roms that are out there. I have no issue keeping it as like I said it's responsive and looks the part but I need to see if I can get the wifi and power issue fixed.

Any clues?
[Android General] Diomorgan:
Stock rom with occidental google apps that cam with the 2nd gen of V6888 (The one with no logo and with the back you can remove from top right)

No Root, no Recovery, but no chinese apps: just for prople who wants to restore the phone to a clean stock rom then you can easily root and add recovery.

I had to ask a seller for it, Pandawill has only the old one with tons of china apps and no european market.

The archive contains drivers with explanation, SP Flash Tools and the folder with the rom itself.

You must use "download" function since BOOT ini will remain the older one.

Apparently this firmware saved even my camera that didn't work before.

Be careful and, anyhow, you can find the older stock rom from Pandawill easily.

Here is the UbuntuOne Link

If DioMorgan could give a bit of a tutorial for us newbies as to how to achive this. Is Englsih playstore available (preinstalled) with this ROM ?

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] onlydongles:
Help

Where are you Diomorgan? Can anyone do small tutorial for newbies, please?

Thanks
[Android General] Diomorgan:
Inside the rar you'll find the flash tool, just follow a tutorial to flash an MTK.

In a nutshell:

-open the SPFlashTool

-choose file->open scatter and select the scatter in the firmware folder (there is just one, you can't go wrong)

-connect the phone to the computer (Win only, sorry) without the battery, press Download, then Ok when he says boot.ini is missing

-insert the battery and the it will start flashing the firmware till you see a green circle.

Disconnect, boot, and here you are!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdUdHejJor4

here is a video of a full tutorial that consider even the driver setup, but you don't need it if you installed snappea or PDAnet , since the MTK driver are installed by those two software.

Or just google around for the MTK6577 drivers, maybe you can find them in a standalone installer.

If you have win 7/8 remember to allow the non signed driver installation (google is your friend here too...hehehe)
[Android General] onlydongles:
Thanks DioMOrgan

I have few questions:

Will this work on an already rooted phone? (more like do I have to skip any steps so as not to root it again?)

Does this install ENglish Play store (You mentioned Occidental but was not sure of which language it might contain)

WIl this also cure the satellite and GPS problmes reported elsewhwre?

Kindly guide me.

HELP PLEASE?

Hope i have not bricked it. (Maybe a soft brick)

If I do volume up and power button. I get the dead ANdroid with red traingle.

[Android General] Diomorgan:
I don't have the phone anymore, but as far as I remember if you got the dead android or you are stuck on logo just refla**** again.

You must press DOWNLOAD BEFORE you conbect it and remember to get the MTK drivers and install them before!

Hero V6888 OUT!!! :''(

Guys are Italian and I write a little bad English: I am in a serious fix, my V6888 is corrupted.

I followed the guide you provided, only that when I came out the inscription that is missing the BOOTIMG I have posted the file "uboot_bd86_77_emmc_v6888.bin" inside the folder of ROMS and I gave the OK. I have installed everything except that now the phone stops on initial Android logo and does not go ahead, it seems to go right. What can I do to recover? I tried to redo the flash without check of BOOTIMG, installed everything again but the phone does the same defect. How do I save it? Please help!!! Thank you all and have a nice day!!!
[Android General] DeejayAlex73:
I solved it by installing Pandawull ROM first and then reinstalling this without BOOTIMG. Doing this everything was fine, now the phone works fine! Thanks all the same!!: Vittoria:

Softbrcik

It deosnt allow me to go forward. I tried the volume down and power button and it just comes up with the factory page where you test the hardware and reboot.(Blue screen). Doesnt give me download OR recover options. Usually yellow/green.

Even the mtk 6577 drivers are difficult to load on WIndows XP sp3. (although it says downloaded successfully). When connecting this softbricked phone, nothing happens!

Any ideas and help please?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] onlydongles:
Sorted

Hey Guys, finally cracked it. Had to do it in a WIndows 7 machine. Wa a bit of struggle getting all the drivers. Fially using the SP tools as suggested by Diomorgan, managed to flash the ROM and make the phone alive again.

Thank you very much Dimorgan for th time and patience in helping me/us. Really appreciated.

One question, which stock rom is this? Can I upgrade with another ROM? ANy tutorials?

Can I also upgrade to Jellybean? 4.1 or 4.2

Any suggestions ?

Thanks again.

This might be a dumb question, but is there an alternative to GAPPS? I don't really understand all this developing stuff. I understand enough to take my NEXUS 4 and root it and put a custom rom on it. I think its cool that we can find anD use all these options, and I really appreciate the developers tireless efforts. I just get a little baffled at why there is not a GAPPS alternative. Maybe there is an I have not been able to find it.

[General Questions and Answers] syung:
Google may remove apps for many reasons, but most notable is that if an app is discovered to be malware. Google not only has the ability to remove the malicious app from the Play Store, but also can remove the app directly from your device. So I would be cautious before redownloading that app.

There are people here who don't even use Google Play that often at all... After all required apps are installed, they freeze Play... Anyway, Play wasn't the only alternative.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedFx:
Pulling together a couple of other threads from Howto root easily your Gen8 device and How to enter in recovery mode for a Archos 35 Home connect?, and with thanks to a tip from Kilawo (and a similar tip from Klaus on mydealz.de), this is how I got root on my Archos 35 Home Connect.

First, read the warnings about the risks of doing this, and if you choose to go ahead download the files as described by chrulri at Howto root easily your Gen8 device. Then use the following method to install them - strictly at your own risk:

1 Install SDE (you only have to do this only once, it will even survive a full reformat, but it will void your product support)

reboot Archos device and enter Recovery Mode by holdiing down the power button until the logo appears then rapidly press and release the power button around 10 times

choose "Update Firmware" (use the + and - keys to highlight item, and press the on/off switch to accept)

connect your Archos 35 by USB to your computer (if it isn't already)

upload the SDE file to the Archos 35

select OK using the power on/off switch to process the SDE

reboot

2 Install android firmware

Having rebooted, use the USB cable to copy the firmware to the Archos 35

reboot the Archos 35 and it will offer to "Update Firmware"

select OK using the power on/off switch to update the firmware

reboot

3 Install the custom kernel + initramfs

Having rebooted, enter Recovery Mode by holding down the power button until the logo appears then rapidly press and release the power button around 10 times (if you're too slow you'll overshoot the screen and the device will boot normally - just try again)

select "Recovery Menu"

select "Developer Edition Menu"

choose "Flash Kernel and Initramfs"

connect your Archos 35 by USB to your computer

upload zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to the Archos 35

select OK using the power on/off switch to install the files

reboot and enter Recovery Mode by using the method above

choose "Developer Edition"

now you have temporary root (you always have to boot "Developer Edition" to get root again)

4 (optional!) permanent root - so it will always boot the custom kernel (to revert, reinstall Android firmware)

reboot and enter Recovery Mode by using the method above

select "Recovery Menu"

select "Developer Edition Menu"

select "Remove Android Kernel" and select OK using the power on/off switch

reboot

Now, using Google's Play store (downloaded via Arctools, which you can download via the pre-installed AppsLib) you can verify that you have root by installing Root Checker.

TuneIn is built into the ROM, so can't be removed. The only solution would be to replace the ROM, but I think that an another compatible does not exist. However you can use Google Play to install a different radio player.
