[HTC Desire C] exAera:
I have a Cricket HTC Desire C and I tried to root it but I know I messed up because the adb thing never worked and now I cant even factory reset my phone.I tried looking for Stock recovery/kernels but I only found found a recovery.img that allowed me to open Recovery;

After I boot my phone or try to Recover or Factory Reset, I get a red message under the giant HTC saying

This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.

I've been up for over 8 hours trying to just restore my phone to stock...I really need help.

Bootload info:

GOLFC PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.63.0000

RADIO-0.92.00.0903

eMMC-boot
[HTC Desire C] penguin449:
That is a normal message for the splash screen in which we get for unlocking our bootloaders, as far as i'm concerned, the cricket Desire C is CDMA so the usual recoveries wont be compatible with it. Does the phone boot? The best person to ask for assistance on this matter is [MENTION=4425761]soupmagnet[/MENTION] as he also has the CDMA Desire C, prehaps he will be able to help you.
[HTC Desire C] exAera:
The phone boots to an extent; It will load bootloader just fine but that message shows for Recovery, Factory Reset, and normal Boot
[HTC Desire C] exAera:
Please guys? I really need my phone working again, I just wanna beable to factory restore it so Its usable again
[HTC Desire C] soupmagnet:

This is the stock recovery, but I don't think it will do you much good. A factory reset only wipes user data. What happens when you select normal boot? Does it give you adb access?
[HTC Desire C] exAera:
It gives me the message displayed in the first post; and No, my computer never did the adb setup; that always failed when I tried to root.

Okay I used my father's phone to make a video;

I'm gunna upload the video
[HTC Desire C] zomgitsanoob:
OP, check your inbox

Might have pushed the gsm version like I did the first time
[HTC Desire C] exAera:
Please guys, I was thinking about buying a new one but the price jumped up from $60 to $100...I really dont wanna spend $40 more than what I paid for my phone. I'll gladly send $40 to the person who helps me get my phone fixed
[HTC Desire C] soupmagnet:
I haven't forgotten about you. I just need to find time to work on it...
[HTC Desire C] exAera:
Well I better inform my mom not to buy it then cause I sent her the money last night
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blackest Pain:
My mom came to me wondering why she couldn't download anything else. I told her that she probably has to many things installed. I to check her storage it this and this is what it looks like. This phone has 8gb of memory. There's no way this equals that. Any ideas? She's running rooted/Unlocked BL stock.

[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Well you won't get 8 because of the system in general but it shouldn't be that bad. Check her sd card for some random large files. Maybe backups?

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kohwali:
I agree with deeje00. But also take a look at this app in the play store called "cleaner master", see if that helps.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
Similar usage but have almost 2GB left. Stock ICS.
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
If I remember right this is the same mom that was deleting stuff that she shouldn't delete maybe what you want to do is start looking around the file systems with a root explorer and see if maybe you can find things that are not supposed to be there like backups or anything like that maybe she started copying things instead of deleting them.

If there's nothing misplaced then you might have to delete everything on the SD card and start over because it might be a messed up partition somewhere.
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
Do you maybe have safestrap installed with a 2-3gb slot ready?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blackest Pain:
Lmao yea it is haha. I went through everything and nothing.

I'm gonna just gonna start over, thanks

No safestrap. Made that mistake once when I first got thid phone, never again.

[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
Maybe you still have a slot installed and didn't remove it when you uninstalled SS3?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
Can we get someone to update the listed specs for the E980?

Screen size listed at 5" but it is really 5.5"

Battery capacity listed at 3000mAh but is actually 3140mAh

Network listed as HSDPA & LTE but is actually HSPA+ & LTE

Weight listed as 156 grams but is actually 174 grams (6.14 ounces)

Front facing camera listed at 2.3MP but is actually only 2.1MP

All of this verified against AT&T's web site for the LG OG Pro http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/lg/optimus-g-pro-indigo.html#fbid=YiPbyCC9_eH
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
This was very easy to find, straight from the LG website, after all they are the manufacturers. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-E980-optimus-g-pro

Just select technical specifications below the pictures and you shall have the truth.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
Right. What I was saying is that the specs listed at the top of the LG OG Pro page on XDA are wrong...
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
Hey, I see that the specs listed have been updated and everything looks correct now. Thanks to whomever updated them!
[LG Optimus G Pro] adizzle23:
Those were the specs for the Japanese version. It's different and smaller than all of the other models.
[LG Optimus G Pro] russilker:
The specs are fixed now, but the description of the phone above the specs is still incorrect-- for instance, it refers to the same 5 inch screen of the Japanese version, rather than the 5.5 inch screen that was corrected in the specifications below it.
[General Topics] 17kimd:
Im myself are not sure why they are doing this. The ubuntu edge doesnt really seem practical. I mean, who needs two lte antennas in their phone?
[General Topics] :
It's an interesting experiment, but honestly I don't know if it's gonna meet success. I mean, what if people buy it just for the 4 GB of RAM and then run Android?
[General Topics] bbrad:
Then android would fly
[General Topics] jesusprice:
This is going to be a beast of a phone. wished I could afford to try it.
[General Topics] :
Hahaha that is true indeed mate ;)
[General Topics] DreadApex:
The phone looks super sexy.... and it's true, I bet jb would hum on that slab.
[General Topics] MunkinDrunky:
I believe the two antennas were for use on a carrier of your choice, since it comes without contract (even international).

Impractical probably for most. Ever since I got an android device (an archos) many years back I kinda wanted to be able to have a functional desktop experience. Having a note ii now I can basically already do that, whether im using a tablet multiwindow mod or the linuxonandroid app. That being said, there seems to be enough who want that kind of functionality. Would be even cooler to see somethin like that with a keyboard dock. Old idea that was tried on other phones.
[General Topics] Hr Kristian:
I'd go as far as to say this is nothing like what's been done before.

I love it, would definitely buy it if it was coming out sooner, but I need a new phone now, not in 2014.

Never figured the price to be all that steep either, you 'muricans have gotten too used to carrier-subsidized stuff ;)

Here in Norway an $800 price tag is normal for such a badass...
[General Topics] kickthefreak:
if using android why this phone have a name ubuntu edge ?
[General Topics] bbrad:
You don't reqd much do you? It dual boots Ubuntu and android plus when you hook it up to your minister it turns into a full instillation.
[General Topics] agentfusion:
It's an Ubuntu touch phone that has the option to boot into android, with an android app compatibility layer for Ubuntu coming soon so you can still use your favorite apps when using u-touch. It also has a desktop mode where you can hook it up to a monitor and enjoy the full desktop version of Ubuntu.

The desktop mode is the reason for the specs, so it's literally a computer in your pocket. Thanks to so many ARM distributions out there, almost every single piece of software in the main Ubuntu repositories has been ported to ARM. Overall, for $800 you get an Android phone, and a desktop computer that fits in your pocket.
[General Topics] MunkinDrunky:
Soo true. Thays really what drew me. Im mean it really sounds like a high quality device and it wouod have to be to meet for both a high end android device and a very functional desktop computer. I can even imagine it being more, having the ability to be a laptop too.
[General Topics] Westnile:
I just read only people who support the development donation 775 will get the phone its not being publicly sold or distributed also the 2 antenna deal is one lte antenna is for the US the other is for functionality in EU if y'all want I'll link the article from indegogo which is the current most updated article.

Edit: ok I apologize and correct my last statement it's not on indegogo site that's the place this article refers to if you want to donate and back this project to get one... Here's the article

Whether or not you like Ubuntu, you should hope that this 'experiment' exceed, doing so would surely drive something positive towards the mobile phone scene.
[General Topics] VikingTroll:
But will it get the newest android versions when they release like the nexus devices, or will it just update android in the same way as, say Sony does? That's probably the qyestion holding me back a little.
[General Topics] schasch:
It is based on CM so it will be fast with aNDROID-Updates!
[General Topics] iloveindia:
this phone wouldn't be commercially successful
[General Topics] ashanub:
At the beginning I thought the campaign is gonna be a huge success.. but looking at it now.. seems like a far cry from being successful. But would be cool to see a device that can dual boot android & ubuntu though:fingers-crossed:..
[General Topics] Tatanko:
What do I think? Neat idea, not so great on the execution. The Android world is full of great-but-not-quite-there ideas, and this is a good one -- unfortunately the timing just isn't right.

Dual-booting is just way beyond the scope of what the average person needs or wants right now, in my opinion. Could it be useful? Definitely, if implemented and executed correctly. Maybe this is one of those product categories people don't know they want until they have it?
[General Topics] jags_the1:
They will not even meet the goal. Being successful comes later
[General Topics] ShivaDiva:
All three statements pretty much sum up my views on it. Frankly, I just heard about it recently and while it does seem pretty boss, Tatanko stated it's not something that's gonna fly w/ the 'average joe' mobile phone user--if it even *flies* (meaning it actually meets its goal), at all. Tech Crunch recently did an article (dammit, you'll have to google the link, as I can't post it...grrr) stating that even though they've done a 'bit' of a price cut (if you even wanna call it that....lol) the goal they gotta reach in such a short period of time--2 wks or so, at best--is lofty to put it mildly.

I mean, this ain't exactly $99 Kickstarter--Ouya based pricing we're talking here....I would imagine even the diligent of geeks might give pause to throwing down that kind of money if they don't know if it'll even be a success (even if it they can get their money back if the project falls through).

Idk....I suppose we got about 2 wks or so to find out they can actually pull enough backers (aka super geeky people, w/ super disposible income, lol); but frankly I don't see much coming of it....

And considering established makers/companies like MS and BB are catching mad hell (fairly have decent amount of money to put up a defense) gaining a foot-hold into the rather large gap both Android and Apple have created in the mobile OS/phone market, I'm not sure aiming that high was exactly good idea, in terms of funding.

If I had 695 to donate I would just as for the simple fact might get lucky enough to be able to use the device for pen testing wifi networks something allot of people have been wanting to do on a mobile device....

I already donated. Love it can't wait. PC in your pocket nice.! I truly believe this the future of computing. Good for people on the move
[General Topics] Jespy:
Looks great, but might be too good.

The phone itself LOOKS great. Both aesthetically and hardware wise. But I think it might just be too much for now.
[General Topics] FVSantbrink:
I may be echoing other people's comments here, as I haven't read the entire thread. But, the Ubuntu Edge is a great idea! I would've donated to get my hands on it, and because I love the idea of the project. However, sadly I'm a bit broke lately. Though, it seems the project won't actually go through as originally planned, considering that there's 8 days left to donate, and only 9 million out of the 32 million was raised.

Though, if I'm correct, Canonical will be moving forward with the idea of bringing Ubuntu to a mobile platform regardless. So, that's something to look forward to.
[General Topics] :
I would wait for the second generation for better screen/hardware and fixing the problems that will be in the first generation.
[General Topics] weirdsciencex:
If I could of spared the funds I would have bought one straight away. As another poster has stated though it doesn't look like the edge will be produced as they haven't raised the necessary funds.
[General Topics] kankanmeli:
1. the fact that it dual boots android is in itself a pretty good thing.

2. I'm a bit skeptical about its pricing looking at the price variations during its crowd funding run

3. the hardware looks quite promising, and needless to say android would feel like a bugatti veyron with an enormous shot of NOS.

4. the concept of having a full blown desktop when connected to a monitor seems quite intriguing, and it remains to be seen as to how it would actually be implemented.

5. the app ecosystem needs to be pumped up quite a bit if the devs are thinking about contending with android.
[General Topics] :
Having Ubuntu Desktop on your phone doesn't seem very useful to me if you've got a tablet/laptop hybrid (e.g. Surface Pro 2) as also your desktop.
[General Topics] Aonoa:
There are always many things which are not what they seem. I used to use my laptop a lot, that is until I got a tablet. Now my laptop collects dust, and many people did not think tablets had any use, but look at them now.

Remember it's primarily a mobile phone, you don't have to think of it as a device which will replace anything else. I'm considering it's a replacement for my current mobile phone, but that it has the ability to do so much more. Kind of similar to what a smartphone is compared to a simple mobile phone.

There is also a lot of news around today, and it seems there's even a chance that the deadline may be extended.

I think people who wants this smartphone should just plunge in, there is no loss regardless of what happens. By supporting you're increasing the chances, and especially if you use a little time to show others what they can get.
[General Topics] :
What I expressed was my solely opinion and based on my needs. For a phone, I don't have any interest in Ubuntu Touch over Android so I would probably get something such as the Nexus 5 for less then half the price to adequately statisfy my needs. Another major selling point of the device is the smartphone and desktop PC in one. The only feasible place to run Ubuntu Desktop would be at my desk which would be redundant as I will already have a Intel Haswell Windows machine.
[General Topics] Aonoa:
Then the Ubuntu Edge is not suited to your needs. That is fine. :)

It suits mine, though. I am sure a lot of others as well, it seems to sell quite well when more people learn about it's existence. There has been quite a surge in the amount of support today.
[General Topics] :
The Ubuntu Edge is the first generation of it's kind targeting an extremely niche market. I have learned that the first generation of anything will certainly have the most problems. This has gotten me into trying Ubuntu Desktop again in which I have a few days of use time. In the future a few generations down the line when the technology matures it's possible I may have a use for something similar to this.
[General Topics] Aonoa:
Sounds good! I hope you have a good experience again with Ubuntu, though my own preference is with Gentoo Linux. I am actually thinking about tinkering with the smartphone to get Gentoo Linux running on it, since they have an unlocked boot rom and an otherwise open smartphone. The only thing getting in the way of making Gentoo Linux working on it (or any other Linux distribution) is the amount of work needed. At least getting the desktop functionality to starting a Gentoo Linux desktop instead of an Ubuntu one. :victory:

There is a way you can help now, though, without spending any money and that is by joining the thunderclap so that it's social reach increases. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treken:
I am currently looking for some developers to assist or even take over the ChameleonOS project for jfltespr as I only have the jfltevzw. I've made a good start with a couple of minor bugs such as Nfc toggle option disabled and screen rotation bug after rotating the phone non-stop for about 20 times. I don't mind making this ROM available for Sprint users but it would be better for a dev with the device to jump on board.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dstokes14:
Ive just bought a compact MDA, unlocked it for my vodafone PAYG. I love the unit HOWEVER, there is a problem: when I am called after approx 1 hour it no longer rings....

The phone just sits there. However it does give me the 'missed phone call' sound after whoever has tried to call me has put the phone down.

I then reset it, and it continues to work for about 1 hour...then the problem re-occurs...

I have WISBAR advanced installed and have set up the phone incoming call counds correctly...anybody know what's up?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HighPingBastard:
Err mate, did you know that Wisbar Advanced does not work with Pocket PC phone devices? UNLESS you're using the beta verison (which is still buggy btw) then you should uninstall it and it will fix your problems!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dstokes14:
Wisbar...

works fine on my phone....maybe it is that...if it is any suggestion for a replacement piece of software, i really like its functions etc...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HighPingBastard:
Not yet...wait till the new version is released - that will support pocket pc phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhport2:
I have a Verizon GNex, Toro. I was running PA 3.60 4.2.2 and all was fine, but I go the bug for 4.3

I flashed FTL 4.3 rom for toro, had it booted up the first time, and was loading apps and setting up my phone, when it froze after about 15 minutes and I had to pull battery.

I tired to reboot but it got stuck on Google logo for 10-15 each time, nothing would happen, so I wiped and tried to restore my old backups, all of them failed, i try to restore everything but data and is it says successful in TWRP (v2.5.0.0) but when I go to reboot system it hangs again on the Google logo for long periods of time, I've waited upwards of 15 minutes.

I still have the PA 3.60 files in my downloads so I tried to wipe and flash it back on my phone, again it hangs at the Goggle logo and wont go past it.

I can get to the bootloader, I can get to TWRP, but nothing else.

Any advice on what I should try next?

Do I need to flash a stock image? I'm at work at the moment so I will have to wait till later to do it, but at home I have a Mac, which makes things that much more confusing for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Did you flash the new bootloader before you tried to flash the 4.3 ROM? I've heard that it is unnecessary but I would highly recommend using the bootloader designed for the current version of Android. What were the exact steps you took to flash the new 4.3 ROM?

I'm beginning to suspect that people are either getting bad downloads or the data cables being used are not working properly which is causing bad flashes. This is just speculation, but I am using the data cable supplied with my phone and have yet to have one single problem flashing the 4.3 ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhport2:
No, I did not flash a new bootloader, I followed the FTL steps he posted except for wiping cache and davilk cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhport2:
I downloaded the files directly from chrome on the phone. Is that a problem? That is how I have done most of the ROM's I have ever downloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Try this..

Boot into recovery

Factory reset

Wipe dalvik/cache

Install ROM

Install Gapps

Install SU zip

Reboot

The first boot can take a few minutes so be patient. You'll sit at the "Google" screen for a minute or two then the "android" boot animation for 2-5 minutes. I also wouldn't recommend restoring any backups as I ran into some issues doing this. If you can get the ROM to boot do a fresh install of all your apps from the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I never flashed the bootloader and I have had zero problems with flashing and booting 4.3. I dont know what people are doing to have issues. One thing I can think of is after flashing everything and you select restart device, it gives you this option that doesnt usually show up. I cant think of the wording. Something about "erasing flash something or other". there is a whole list of "No" and one line of "erase....". Are people clicking the option to erase and get problems from it? I always just select to go back and it restarts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
The OP is using TWRP which is what I used and I got no such options.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

It could be, I can't speculate on that as I have only downloaded the files to my PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Oh. I never use TWRP. I have never liked it. I dont know how TWRP handles stuff then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhport2:
I have tried this a few times now, it just hang at the Google Logo, I have waited 15 minutes now, that shouldn't be right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
My next suggestion is going to be a /system wipe. Not sure If you want to go this route but if you choose to (at your own risk)..

Boot into recovery

Factory reset

wipe dalvik/cache

wipe /system

install ROM

install Gapps

install SU zip

reboot

As a warning if this doesn't work you will not have a booting system. You will be forced to reinstall an older factory image via fastboot.

Do you have a 4.2.2. ROM saved on your SD card that you can install? It might be a good idea to get a booting system first before trying anything else from this point on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhport2:
Still nothing works, I formatted all data and do not have an OS at this point.

When I get home I will adb sideload a 4.2.2 rom and gapps (Most likely Mmuzzy for the time being) from my mac and install it in TWRP. I've done this before and it should work and get me out of this mess.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unobtainiumdroid:
did it work? i am also having this problem but when i go into my bootloader it tells me my device is tuna even though its a toro if that matters. and to make things wierder when i try to adb it says i dont have fastboot even though i had it less than 3 hrs ago when i was flashing the rom.(supernova) it worked then i shut off and rebooted the next morning and i just get stuck at the google logo. if anyone can help me i would appriciate it.
