[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreyl79:
Ok, after a few days of the phone resting on my table it somehow decided it can see the external SD card as /mnt/sdcard and I was able to copy cm-7.2.0-captivatemtd.zip onto it and flash it.

Now, when I reboot it shows cyanogenmod logo and goes straight into recovery. Second attempt to flash the same 7.2 shows an error:

Installing update..

Checking state of BML/MTD...

assert failed: run_program("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0

E: error in /sdcard/cm-7.2.0-captivatemtd.zip (Status 7)

Installation aborted.

UPDATE: I flashed 7.2 twice in a row, second time it rebooted in recovery. Then I flashed CM10.2 twice in a row, first time it showed the error and second time it just rebooted into the recovery, but it shows the new version 6.0 of CWM recovery so something got updated. BUT - it still reboots in recovery - it feels like it doesnt want to flash the actual OS, just CWM

UPDATE 2: While in teh CWM recovery, I found "Partition sd card" option and i partitioned it. No errors. But now if I try to flash CM 10.1.3 I get this error:

E: error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.3-captivatemtd.zip (Status 0)

Installation aborted

Update 3: I tried to install SlimRom 3.1 - it rebooted to CWM, then I reflashed it twice again, each time no errors but it went really fast - prolly 15-20 sec each install. And then again it reboots into recovery. No errors anywhere. I am stuck at this point - after flashing any ROM it reboots into recovery.

Any ideas what's going on?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreyl79:
Ok, I decided to step back and just follow your initial advice.

1. I flashed Glitch

2. In Glitch I partitioned SD card

3. I flashed CM 7.1 twice

4. I rebooted and the phone still reboots into recovery :(

Flash back to stock and try again. Make sure the flash actually takes a while (so the conversion is successful)

[HTC One V] bluevolt:
My phone was working perfectly fine till one evening when I got an OTA update notification which was related to whatsapp bux fix 13 mb in size. I choose to install the update and after downloading the update and restarting it never turned on to normal menu. It keeps stuck on htc one/beats audio screen, no hard reset working on hardware button configuration, not even able to enter fast boot mode at all. It just keeps on.

my HTC One V is officially hard bricked declared both by SVC and friendly neighbourhood mobile repair guy. They suggest motherboard replacement which is not worth doing for a two year old phone. The phone loops through on/off cycle and keeps stuck at HTC/Beats audio start screen. So now I have the most expensive paper weight in my house.

Any possibilities? I am wondering how an OTA update can hard brick my phone?
[HTC One V] Ringford:
Wrong section. You should post this on 'Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting' section.
[HTC One V] Minto107:
Your neighbourhood mobile repair guy is stupid. OTA can't brick ur phone. If you'd to unbrick it:

Plug your phone to AC Adapter

Now try to go into fastboot then recovery and factory reset
[HTC One V] Urvins:
More details required

Have you got recovery software installed?

Which recovery ?

Call me on +919029179997.

I guarantee it is not bricked.
[HTC One V] Fikus011:
First of:Your phone is not,I repeat NOT "HARD" Bricked. Hard brick would be if it does not give any sign of life,I mean any at all.If the phone led even works it means it's not hard bricked trust me,

I do not know what happened to your phone but you can try to repair it your self by doing the following:

1.Hold your power button+volume down pressed at the same time until your phone boots into bootloader,then choose recovery and enter it.

2.Now do the factory reset and reboot.

3.That's it.

Now what I wrote is the most simple soiution,ofc it might not work depends on what is wrong with your phone,but from what you've described it seems that nothing more serious could happen to it.

Any help or i should throw away the phone:/

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
what are you "saving" the RAM for?

Its there to be used, and most developers will tell you that using as much ram as you have is a good thing, so no, its not a problem
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalim_714:
Problem starts when I run few apps at a time. Game, browsing etc., the phone slows down, lags and all. I ain't no expert but what good is 2 Gb ram if It can't run apps smoothly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
there are few, if any complaints anywhere on the internet about this phone ever lagging; close your game when you are done with it, and see if that makes things better.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalim_714:
Of course it does get better.

So that means I have to run minimum apps
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
no just close your games when you aren't playing them..hardly means you have to run "minimum" apps..

I have about 9 programs running in the background, and I have over 400 mb of free ram on my phone..no lag at all
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Use Greenify to hibernate a few high ram users. Especially games that don't close properly.

But as said already... Android/Linux is built to run with a lot of the ram used always. This makes task switching quick and normally doesn't create issue, quite the opposite... Usually makes things open quickly.

But large games that are kept in memory is probably not a great thing. ;)

I Greenify all games and anything else that hurts performance or my battery. But that's a short list on my phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalim_714:
Wow. I ve just Internet Explorer running and I'm left with 320 mb
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Browsers use more ram as their cache size increases. It's normal. Android will boot older cached apps out of memory when it needs more space.

Stop worrying and start enjoying your device. It's working as intended. :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalim_714:

I'm going to buy the G2, but I really don't like the back cover (or the back body? I don't know hot to call that) it seems too much made with a low quality plastic, do you know if somewhere there are a shop to buy a better back cover? I really need that :(
[G2 General] wulsic:
I dont think that you can easy find an custom back cover for the G2 international, and if you remove the cover from your g2 then you could damage the phone if you dont do it carefull, you could order an original back cover and change it yourself but the result may not come out good. I recommend to find an good case since that secures your phone and gives your phone maybe a nicer style/feeling in the hands.
[G2 General] GaspRulez:
Have you got some advice for a good cover? I have seen the official thread but I don't know which cover chose
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=5824053]GaspRulez[/MENTION] i cant really give advice since i dont own/not yet the g2. You can buy an cheap tpu case from ebay or you can buy whatever of case you want maybe from big brands i dont know depends on your needs/your style/ your budget. I just buy a tpu case for mine phones because tpu absorbs the drop better then a hardcase and that tpu case is really cheap on ebay, but sending time is maybe long :/1-2 weeks but thats also the reason its cheap. That small investment for a case can save you alot of money and horror if your phone would drop and crack the screen because gorilla glass2 is pretty vulnerable and if that cracks then the g2 digitizer doesnt work anymore.

The old fat gorilla glass1 has been cracked on my lg optimus 2x and it survived so my conclusion is that gorilla glass 1/3 are good and 2 not. Thin is not always better. Sorry for being a bit of topic :)
