[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
Hello there!

I have never posted on XDA and I hope this is the right section.

So here it is guys:

I have recently installed the KitKang ROM from a tutorial on this forum (XDA LINK) for a friend of mine on his HTC Desire ...

Now whilst the phone was in perfect running order, I even managed to create an EXT partition for apps on the SD card and installed a2sd, worked like a dream for a few days ... when he was watching youtube one day the phone rebooted and since then only boots into HBOOT, the volume keys do not work to navigate, the power button does nothing, I can't even get into recovery mode.

I have spent 3-4 hours carefully reading forum posts and tried everything ... nothing works as the phone is not even being recognized when plugged in to the PC with USB.

This is the troubleshooting guide I used along with many others! LINK

I've tried my best to resolve this problem and NOTHING is working :(

I only get the white HBOOT screen and everything else is unresponsive (tried putting the Alpharev img on the SD, that doesn't work either).

JUST TO RECAP:

- No recovery available

- Unresponsive HBOOT

- Phone does not work with USB (only charges)

Can someone please assist me, I will be very grateful!

Info:

-REVOLUTIONARY-

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

(the date which is wrong)

I am not a complete noob when it comes to android but not very advanced yet.

I just want the phone to go back to stock or any other STABLE ROM.

Thank you very much for all your help in advance.

Try booting directly into fastboot (using power + back). Then plug it into a PC via usb cable. Does it say "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
Hey, thanks for a reply!

I just tried that now but nothing happens, it boots straight into HBOOT and it is still unresponsive, my computer still doesn't recognize the phone. Tried different ports and cables too... have you got any other suggestions? Maybe there is something I'm doing wrong.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
Can anyone else help? I will appreciate it a lot!

Try flashing the 2.3 RUU using the PB99IMG method.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
I have already tried this method, my bootloader doesn't read the file, gives me back a few errors.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
What errors??

Make sure the PB99IMG.zip file is on the root of ur sdcard (not inside a folder) thats prob why u get the errors in green writing ;)

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION] look at u with ur 4700 thanks ;) good man, well deserved :)

just wish i had a desire to test ur work.. good on ya buddy, keep it up. seen ur "facepalm" comment too in RC thread hahaha D'OH!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Hah, thanks :) This will make you laugh. You and [MENTION=3340845]eddiehk6[/MENTION] were the first people to help me when I was a complete n00b, lol.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
hahaha the good old days when we were all complete and utter noooobs :cyclops: just shows what reading, and taking advice does..... :p pitty no one else seems to get the idea!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
No, i put it on the root or my sd card, i know what the root directory is. It is simply not responding to anything. -_-
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Woah can't believe that's you. You've come a long way since then :good:

Strange it should detect it even if it won't properly flash. Double check:

It's named:

- "PB99IMG.zip" exactly, think it even requires all upper case.

- not "PB99IMG.zip.zip".

I don't mean to sound insulting with the second one, but I've seen it done ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
Hey, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the phone doesn't detect the file, I am 100% sure. What ill do is get another sd card, maybe my one is corrupted somehow.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
Okay, I have gone a bit further than last time, I have somewhat better results, changed the SD card and the image loaded.

Now I am stuck on this (Please see the attached image)

The phone does not go any further and I cannot navigate through this list if I am even supposed to be able to do that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Can't figure this out to be honest.

When you boot into bootloader with the PB99IMG.zip image, it should do a scan, then find it.

Then it should give you the option 'do you want to flash it?' or something like that, press power to select I think. Was so long ago since I had to do this myself. Does it resemble anything like this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
Make sure u put the zip in the root of sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
[MENTION=5383638]lilsafbig[/MENTION] - dude, it has already found the file and loaded it.

[MENTION=3340845]eddiehk6[/MENTION] - nah man, it's giving me options like on the other image after loading the file, which it never did before i tried the new sd card. Its strange, none of the physicall buttons work in this stupid HBOOT.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Did u check the MD5sum of the file? Cant really think of why it reads it then not let u choose to flash it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markar07:
Yes I did. Everything is fine with the file. I dont get it either ... I started suspecting the buttons being broken ... but it doesnt explain why the phone turns on yet cant use the power button to select any options. The volume buttons do not function at all. I get into HBOOT just by pressing the ON button and then it turns on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desdesu:
I had the same problem and what i did was first flashed in fastboot mode the "alpha jelly", try to search on that because thats the requirement on flashing kitkang and i flashed another recovery using fastboot mode. What i flashed is the latest CWM and them go recovery then flashed the 4.4.2 rom. and it worked for me. it should for you too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Did u even bother to read any posts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuel9681:

It would be very useful to share that ....

Did you know that apple usb ethernet nic model:A1277 works (via otg)with xperia Z without root nor unlocked boot loader . That mean you have 100 mbps wired to your phone!

Very useful while downloading games or updates ...

[Xperia Z General] gripfly:
Thanks for share mate, it sounds interesting!

So you have really 100mbits or is it a theoretical value which the Z don't reach?
[Xperia Z General] marcoplo:
I am not sure, since did not do much testing but from what i can see it pretty responsive...

Before on wifi i got copy/moving speed about 1mbps on the wired i got over 5/6mbps
[Xperia Z General] butchy93:

[Xperia Z General] ~iPod~nano~:
interesting ;)

can you change the configuration? like IP address, DHCP?

Or maybe can you try 1000mbps NIC?

But of course I know USB speed is limited 480mbps theoritical,

just need about 200-300mbps maybe.

Hello everybody :),

I have developed my second application intended for the playstore. The app is called Smart Pocket Guard (heh kinda weird isn't it :D) My first app was the Air Swiper and now I would like to present you a small handy app, which should prevent any unwanted behavior your phone may be doing in your pocket, the app will just lock the phone when it will recognize the phone is in pocket a no one is interacting with him.

I have personally been using my app for three days and I have to say it works just flawelessly almost no battery drain.

But it is on you guys, please everybody tell me if you will experience something bad or like that.

If you have any idea what to add, feel free to hesitate me via PM. Hope you are going to like it.

Have a great time everyone :)

Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.helmisek.project.smart.pocketguard

Also if anybody is interested and would like to help me with translating the app to his native langauage, please PM me. :) I'll you give credits at the end of thread.

If you would find my app helpful for you, you can support me via donating or even rate my app on playstore with nice comment. Since app is ADs free and I am a very young student who spares time developing apps for free, for everyone to download, so if you like my app then please at least leave a nice comment. :)

Features:

Position guard - Experimental feature which may help you to get better experience.

[Android Apps and Games] balaaje:
waiting for this one

started using the app .review in 2-3 days :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Noiz:
Installed on my N5 and a quick test up against a cushion with the lock screen disabled worked well. I saw the screen light up and then quickly turn off a second or two later. Will leave it installed and see how it goes for everyday use. :)

Great idea btw, and I like the simplicity.

Edit: Playing around with a finger over the sensor, it looks like a 3 second delay during which it's still possible to do stuff. Did you consider making the delay shorter, say a maximum of 1 second (or as near to instant as possible)? Or even user changeable?
[Android Apps and Games] Kiray1982:
works like a charm, thx 4 this

is it possible to disable also "Power-Button" while in Pocket?
[Android Apps and Games] helmanss:
Thank you!

Well I was thinking of it, but I have found the actual delay the best. But I can surely make an input for changing the delay. Thank you for your comment. :)

Thank you! I am not sure, but I will look into it. :)

Please everybody who has a moment, let me here a comment about the position guard.

It may be sensitive it may be not that much sensitive it varies by devices. :)

I have actually one solution in my head but I would like to hear how it works for you.

Include your phone model into comment as well please.
[Android Apps and Games] Noiz:
No worries, thanks for making the app! I'd be interested to know how/why you came to find the 3 second delay to work best.

From half a day's use so far it's been almost been surprising to turn the phone on and not see the lock screen, but I like it! For what it's worth, it's always been exactly where I left it so far...

What does that feature do exactly? And does it drain any extra power having it enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] ewilts:
So far, so good!

I did some quick testing on my new Galaxy S5 and so far it seems to be working just fine.

I had my S4 for ~7 months with zero accidental dials with my phone in my front pocket. I had my S5 for only a few days and had already butt-dialed my home twice (it's my In Case of Emergency number). I'm looking forward to this solving that problem.
[Android Apps and Games] helmanss:
Hey, happy to hear my app can solve your problem. :)

So the 3 seconds delay is a value based on a results of many tests done by myself while trying the app. :)

And about the position guard, the position guard adds the next verification system next to the proximity sensor by using device accelerometr.
[Android Apps and Games] helmanss:
New update

Hey everybody,

I have updated the app (download in the OP attachment section) and now you guys are able to calibrate the device psychical position guard just exactly how it fits you.

New update - crash problem

Hey guys if some of you have experienced a crash during calibrating the position guard.

Just go and reinstall the app.

Thank you for understanding. :)
[Android Apps and Games] theepicflyer:
I got a crash the first time calibrating. Reopened the app and tried again and worked fine.
[Android Apps and Games] helmanss:
Well, thank you I will try to catch the bug. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Charleszan:
Hi!

First, thanks for making this nice little app. It is perfect with my G2 to prevent the double tap to wake to activate while the phone is in my pocket.

Second, I too had trouble with the initial calibration and I had to deactivate the auto rotate to make it work (reinstallation changed nothing).

Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] helmanss:
Oh well thanks for the note about the auto rotate I am surely going to look into it. Happy to see you like my app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] helmanss:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stretch31:
Is there any way for me to get Kitkat (4.4) on my stock, unrooted, locked bootloader, verizon galaxy s3? There are a mind-numbingly large number of threads and most of them include some kind of paragraph at the top like; "this article assumes you're unlocked rooted and custom recovery installed." Well I'm not. And when I try to do those things I keep running into other articles telling me all the ways doing that will ruin my phone.

All I want is KitKat without having to wait for BigRed to give it to me. Is that possible? Assume I just bought the phone from Verizon and I'm peeling off the screen protector sticker for the first time.

Nope, you can't get Kit Kat until Verizon officially releases an update.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
Hi guys,

Right i have an XDA exec and an XDA mini , ones for work ones for personal use.

I've set up an exchange server at home for the mini however it has to listen on port 8080 (the web outlook frontend).

However I'm trying to connect the activesync client to this via

address:8080 in the server field on the device but it doesn't seem to work

I can obviously access the site via 8080 on http but not via activesync. I've tried this on both the XDA MINI and the XDA EXEC and neither can access the server and i can't move the ports :(.

does the client support ports?

can you override them?

help!!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jcleek:
Activesync works by default over port 80 (non-secure) and 443 (secure) only. There may be a reg hack but I am unaware of one. If your cable or phone company is blocking port 80 just install a certificate, which you REALLY should be using anyway) and connect over 443 using SSL.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
this is the problem, both portss 80 and 443 are taken up already by an apache web server.

I have exchange running under a virtual machine on the linux server. The windows 2003 box intergates with the existing mail sub system giving me access to the pop3 and smtp service on the linux side of things so its transparrent.

So apache runs on both port 80 and 443 so I can't bind anything to them.

I was looking into a reg hack if there was one.

If i find anything i'll post it but until then i have the same problem...which is a real annoyance!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
the other thing is that the server i'm working with is only allowing port 8080 to be directed to it. Does activesync use any other port for the sync via web? As that might be the other problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
right i've found a partial solution.

What i've done is use mod_proxy as part of the apache2 stuff to do a reverse proxy to the server over a virtual host on the system...

soo all traffic for the virtual domain foo.com goes to 192.168.1.20 which is the server behind the firewall (which just happens to be a bridged virtual machine).

That means now I can access exchange web via http on port 80 so atcive syn now connect to it.

unforutnately the crap thing is now active sync constantly asks for a username and password all the time and doesn't sync. So I'm guess it can see the server but not get any further...

so does anyone know if active sync needs access to any other ports as I can forward them much easily through the firewall.

help and thoughts please :).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
HAHAHAHAH GOTCHA

right that did it...

two things..i'd made a mistake int he domain name on active sync and added an E into the domain name where I should have!

also because i'd promoted the VM to a Domain Controller after installing IIS etc I had to re-register the ASP.NET framework so OMA worked.

I now have push mail working on linux out of a VM whilst apache is running on the same box :)

nice ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jcleek:
Can I challenge you to document your setup and post it on a new thread for others to learn from?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
yeah i'll do that , currently however I've been having a bit of a war with the SSL setup as the first pass was "open communications"

I've hit a snag where access to to OWA works for everything bar for internet explorer. I think i know the problem and have a solution so once I've tried that I'll document it and get it up here.

I do have reversed proxy SSL working to exchange though so now everything is secure and I can access OWA via firefox so again thats cool.

The I.E thing im certain is an issue with the actually app and that when it detects I.E it trys to be all clever but unfortuantely the domains don't match atm so its https://foo.com/exchange to http://bar.com/exchange and because of the domain name difference its getting a little twitcy.

theres three solutions, re-install everything from scratch (fat chance).

try to convert the active dicrectory domain to the one that matches foo (have you READ the documentation!....80 odd pages or something). Or change the https domain name on apache and redo the certificate (nice and easy but i'll do it tuesday).

once I can get it working seamlessly i'll do the docus :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] el7145:
yep i get that too, turning off my wifi and exclusively using data connection works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
I fixed it. Go into Settings - More Networks - Access Point Names. Create a new one called "T-Mobile", then use all the same settings as the default APN (the one called T-Mobile US LTE) , except change APN Protocol from "IPV6" to "IPV4/IPV6". Save it, then select it as the active APN, and reboot. At that point, My Account will work over wifi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] LucentPhoenix:
That fixed worked for me, thanks!

Also, just as a point of interest, I called T-Mobile about this yesterday, and they are aware of the limitation. They claim that it's deliberate, because "connecting from their network is more secure" or something like that. They said that they're working on a new version of the app which will allow connectivity over wifi, too, but this works for me :)
