Where are you trying to push the recovery to. You should be flashing the recovery.. via

flash_image recovery /path to recovery

[Droid Eris Android Development] tomkinsong:
My wife has the Eris (I have the Droid) and both are rooted with 2.1. I really like the Droid but there are nuances with the Eris that my wife doesn't like. Do I have an option to go back to the stock ROM from the rooted 2.1 with the Eris? I'm guessing not based on this thread but wanted to ask directly.

Thanks guys.

sorry if i over looked with search but im getting flash_image: not found. any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] erickswar:
total noob...really need help!

i have been trying to figure this out and just can't. I have android sdk with eclipse and adt plugin adb devices show my serial number, i have flash_image and recovery.img in tools folder in sdk but i keep getting "cannot stat 'flash_image': No such file or directory" every time i need help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] northmendo:
The easiest way to install the recovery now is to download Rom Manager from the market. Open it after it installs and scroll to the bottom and hit flash alternative recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
I cannot recommend using this method. Clockworld recovery does not support the Eris, someone in the IRC had used it and it seemed fine at first but ended up bricking his phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] northmendo:
I am not suggesting using clockwork recovery. If you scroll to the bottom in the Rom Manager app it also allows you to flash Amon's Recovery. It is labeled flash alternative recovery.

Help with flash recovery

Please help with installing amons flash recovery. Here is what Ive done and what happens: I am currently running a 2.1 rooted phone and want to install different roms.

1-Downloaded Amons Recovery and put it into the root of my sdk card not in any folders.

2-download terminal emulator from market place and tried the following directions giving on about every forum I can think of but no matter which one I try I still can get past the second line after inputting su. I have also tried pushing the recovery from the terminal window on my Mac but cant figure that out either.

Need help from someone a lil smarter than me cuz obviously im a doof and cant figure this out. Any one out there willing to walk me through this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crunchybutternut:
I am noticing that I occasionally get a notification (ring/vibrate) which results in a blank icon. I even installed a task manager to see what was running and killed everything 1 by 1 but the blank remains.

It only goes away with a reboot. There is no apparent pattern to it's appearance though.

Ideas anyone?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] entropism:
That's just your phone telling you that everything is fine and not to worry about it... :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crunchybutternut:
Haha.. It's not really a problem, persay, other than taking up a spot where I could quickly see relevant info.

Just makes me have to pull down the Notification Bar to see the other ones.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Merckle:
Do you have status notes?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crunchybutternut:
Yes. Good call. I uninstalled it and the blank space went away.

Thanks for the help!
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] Bickmista:
Hello neotouch users, installed some cool htc software and thought i would share :P all cab files below.

First the touchflo 3d install the cab and soft reset simples :D please note certain aspects of this today screen will not work unless you install the fixes below.

Disable Touchflo 3d BEFORE installing the fixes.

Next the album fix download the rar file and extract, installing the cab to your phone then copying the contents of the folder to your windows system folder.

Then the audio manager, do same as above.

And last the HTC topaz comm manager, this one is a bit more tricky as you need to edit the registry to get the wifi to work. firstly install the CAB file, when installed you will need to grab yourself a registry editor. i would recommend PHM registry editor. you will then need to navigate to {HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN} in there there is a string witht the data {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511.

The \TNETW12511 should be replaced with \BCMSDDHD1 save and soft reset.

now your HTC Touchflo app should be working :P

i own none of these files they are all Daskalos's work and due to restrictions i cannot post the link to to the touchflo 3d cab yet sorry, might be able to send them through a private message though

EDIT: Link for Touchflo 3d now added in text document below
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] imjustlooking:
thx a lot - but please can you give a link, where to download touchflo 3d cab ?

greetings !
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] freco:
What do you mean by Touchflo 3d? HTC Sense 2.5? What build?
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] Bickmista:
erm not too sure to be honest want me to post some screenshots?

EDIT: just been doing a bit of research and i think it is the today screen from the sense ui 2.5 just the main page differs a little.
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] snelopy:
No, this is old touchflo 3D. It works but a bit boring.
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] snelopy:
Check my new thread under the general section. I found a manila 2.5 cab that works with the stock roms. I haven't managed to get everything working yet but maybe some of you can help out? ;)

I really do like my Uni but it is just too big to use as a phone. At present I carry use the Uni purely as an organiser. Can any one recommend a phone that has the following.

Keyboard

2.8" screen or larger.

Windows Mobile OS (but willing to consider others)

Smaller than Universal

The difficult bit is it must have IRDA. So this seems to rules out all the new phones. Any suggestions would be great.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Win_XP:
HTC TyTn (Hermes) :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
If $ is not a problem: HTC Rhodium

There isn´t really a "Replacement", Universal is considered a piece of art on Mobile World

For having another reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443421&page=3
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Haggis2009:
Thanks for the quick replies guys.

The HTC TyTn (Hermes) would be perfect but they are very difficult to find in the UK. So may need to buy one from the USA.

HTC Rhodium unfortunately has no IRDA.

Totally agree that the universal is one of the best devices ever made. It replaced my aging Psion 5MX which in its day was the best organiser with a fantastic keyboard. It seems strange that such well loved devices are not replaced with newer versions. It has taken 10 years for a serious replacement for the Psion to be made but it costs £500.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Haggis2009:
I have had a look on pdadb.net and notice that there was a HTC released in the USA by Verizon called the XV6800. It seems to be the same as a Hermes but with built in GPS. Doeas anyone know if this was ever realesed in the UK.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] abubasim:
Only the Hermes 100 (i-mate JASJAM, Orange SPV M3100, Cingular 8525). The display on the Hermes 200 (TyTN) is garbage - it's a transmissive display and it turns completely black in sunlight. Hermes 100 had a high quality transflective screen.
[General Questions and Answers] shadowmaximal:
Hi!

I have such a question ;) Do you know any cheap phones, which will run linux or android? The most depends on me that to run a Wi-Fi and GSM. The rest of the unnecessary additives such as IrDA, Camera is not important. I mean really cheap phones ;) I know Siemens SX1, but he does not have Wi-Fi :mad:

[General Questions and Answers] header2k:
I would recommmend the Openmoko Freerunner/neo 1973, because they runs both, Linux and Android.

Or the Samsung Galaxy
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Check out the G1 on ebay...
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
As galaxys says, the best you can do is search on Ebay.

Maybe you can get a second-hand Hero or something like that, the Hero is getting very cheap now.

Whenever i try to see howlong a call was/when it was, i go to that tab,and the phone just freezes up without any text or whatever..

it still responds, but it just won't show the homescreen...

i have some modds/apps installed , could that be it?
[Droid Eris General] rjj1976:
Just curious what you are seeing under "Time without a signal %" which you find under Settings - About phone - Battery - Battery Use - Cell standby.

I have a Hero that is rooted and running 2.1 and showing 50%.

Thanks
[Droid Eris General] DarthMowzy:
%5. It was %70 before I did the charge in airplane mode trick.
[Droid Eris General] korben dallas:
I did the airplane thing too but mines at 0
[Droid Eris General] n2imagination:
33% for me. Did airplane mode trick and haven't had a restart since then.
[Droid Eris General] hoban_eris:
50% here on rooted 2.1 as well.

What's this battery airplane mode trick?
[Droid Eris General] Eric1948:
31% after leaving the phone plugged in an not touching it overnight. Up time 68:49:32 and Awake time 16:41:50 if you need that too, as there's been issues of 100% awake time as well. Of course I've done the airplane trick before, and after a restart, it was back to 100%. Then found out that Meebo was the cause, as it was keeping the phone awake connected to all my IM accounts. Turned it off, and no more 100% awake time, and no more problems.
[Droid Eris General] theGross1:
So i have found one solution thanks to a thread over at another site....

Seems as if there is some sort of bug with with Cell standby that causes the phone to lose signal which in turns just kills the battery. To verify that your set has the problem, check the Cell standby info in the Battery Use info. If the Time without a signal is higher than 0% (50% seems to be the norm) than you have a problem.

One solution, at the moment, is to follow these steps:

1. Plug in phone charger

2. Put phone in Airplane mode

3. Put phone to sleep for a minute

4. Turn off airplane mode

5. Unplug phone

I can confirm that this works and my Time without a signal is at 0% for over 9 hours now. The battery life is MUCH better and the phone didn't die on me last night while i was sleeping.
[Droid Eris General] rjj1976:
I also just figured this out yesterday afternoon for my phone. Was going to post it this morning. Thanks.
[Droid Eris General] !!CANDROID!!:
I am at 15% after airplane trick...My awake time is 78 hrs and some change so i think its pretty accurate. let the phone battery drain down and then put into airplane mode. Do a full charge and restart phone...then turn airplane mode off.
[Droid Eris General] Raziken:
50%, geeze... doing airplane trick
[Droid Eris General] digitaljeannie:
After implementing the "airplane mode" method, it says my time without signal is 0%.
[Droid Eris General] ampinc:
my show cell standby 12% android system 58% is this normal
[Droid Eris General] 8on3s:
:P yes another.

Is it necessary to drain the battery and do the "fix" or exactly as the quoted text states? I have tried, and my signal strength is a dot and the standby after is now at 23% from 17% right after, is it going to climb from lack of use or is this not resolved?

Your help is appreciated.
[Droid Eris General] GertBFrobe:
I have found that doing the Airplane mode on, sleep, then Airplane mode off will work without having to connect to a charge. The only thing the charge seems to do is reset the cell standby number. This makes sense since the percentage is based on when the phone was last connected.

What will happen is your percent number will keep going down after the "fix" which is what you want. If having a number really bugs you then add the connct in there.

My time without signal was at 50%. After doing the "no connect" it is showing 13% after 3 hours. it was 28% an hour ago.
[Droid Eris General] 8on3s:
Ok thats what I was thinking it was, on a bit of a side note, I no longer go to a lock screen when I press the Power button, i went ahead and set the display to something like 30sec but what just happened?
[Droid Eris General] robman30:
Works for me

I tried this and it works for me. At most i have 5% and by an hour later its at 0%. Thanks for the tip.
[Droid Eris General] jgonz92:
Rooted, running 2.1 rom v0.5.4

23% for me.
[Droid Eris General] irod87:
I had 50% also but had not really noticed any worse battery life.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Just so it's clear,

the airplane trick needs to be done EVERY boot.

If you restart your phone, you have to do it again. Every time.
[Droid Eris General] t41n7ed:
Is this bug a result of flashing a specific rom or leak, or is it because of a specific radio?
[Droid Eris General] gohamstergo:
Most, if not all ROMs are based off of the OTA leak, which is what has the bug. We will probably have to wait for the official 2.1 release and hope that fixes the bug finally, then devs can base their ROMs off of that.
[Droid Eris General] xllxjustinxllx:
Is it weird that my phone doesnt even have a line that says "time without signal" under battery, cell standby?
[Droid Eris General] Framework43:
The problem is a bug in a lot of 2.1 roms out there now.

There is a fix:

1) Go to dialer, put in *#*#4636#*#*

2) Press Phone Information

3) Press Menu, and pick Select Radio Band (ITS NORMAL TO GET A FORCE CLOSE)

4) Go down and change GSM Auto(PRL) to CDMA Auto (PRL)

The reason this is sucking battery is because the phone is connected using CDMA PRL but its set to GSM so its looking for a signal via SIM, which we don't have.
[Droid Eris General] t41n7ed:
Ty framework. When I do this, and restart the phone, does it have to be done again. It doesn't see as though the change sticks.

I believe that is a good thing, that line not being there should mean your time without signal is zero.
[Droid Eris General] Framework43:
The reason it doesn't look as if its sticking is because when you check , it force closes before that , meaning it goes back to default.

Nor sure if it has to be done during reboot because I'm not sure if the phone uses the last used setting or if it uses default. I suggest you reboot , leave it on for some time and check again to see if it stays.
[Droid Eris General] nimdae:
I'd like to point out that it seems many people may be getting confused as to what to look for. Before doing the airplane mode trick, the value actually parks itself at 50%.

When you tap Battery use, there is a "Cell standby" line item. Mine currently says 19%. This is the amount of battery dedicated to this particular subsystem since the counter was reset. You can tap this to find the "Time without a signal" value and some other info.

I'm curious, is this 50% thing just cosmetic? It seems strange that it would say exactly 50% until something is done about it. If my phone really only had a signal 50% of the time, I would think I would notice in shoddy service and excessive battery drain (I have much better battery life than I did on 1.5 without trying to "fix" it).

The ##4636# trick appears to survive a reboot (the setting shows to still be CDMA) but I still sit at 50%.

If it's just cosmetic, I never see it, and don't really care about fixing it. I didn't notice a problem before looking into it, and I've noticed no change when trying to "fix" it.
[Droid Eris General] Framework43:
Even when you do *#*#4636*#*# that is showing what is connected by. The only way to tell is by seeing if it decreases cell standby. And cell standby is NOT set to 50%, thats actually true. Thats also the reason people have numbers sometimes lower than that. It is draining some battery and your battery would probably live even longer had this bug not been there.
[Droid Eris General] GertBFrobe:
Framework, would a Nand restore overwrite this change? I always backup before I start screwing with the phone's internals and would naturally want to restore if this were to effect incoming/outgoing calls.
[Droid Eris General] droidfreak:
loses password

Everytime that I seem to do the airplane trick, it seems as though my gmail passwords get erased... when I go turn airplane mode off, an error pops up saying that it could not log into my gmail... am I just not waiting long enough?

edit: ok I just deleted one of my gmail accounts and just left the main one, did the trick, and no lost password... hmm... puzzled

im using the vanilla rom which has dialer one installed and the htc dialer removed. ive tried *#*#4636#*#* but nothing happens. does that only work with the htc dialer?
[Droid Eris General] Marisa:
Make sure you're putting in *#*#4636#*#* reversed from the pattern at the beginning.

It worked when I put it in my cousin's Droid, which definitely does not have HTC Sense anything.
[Droid Eris General] rd5150:
Double and triple checked..... Not working
[Droid Eris General] WalkingTaco:
why is this thread still going on? just put it in airplane mode, let it sleep for ~30 seconds. turn it on. disable airplane then bam its fixed until you reset. This works on every 2.1 based ROM i've used (all of them). Whats the confusion? Until we get a new ROM leaked or released we have no way to isolate the bug. It's not that difficult people.

gmail pictures also show for me (using evil eris 1.1 atm)

and the aluysion rom i had gave me the 50% error as well until airplane trick
[Droid Eris General] kbfirebreather:
In this screen, there is a theres an option to turn on/ off radio. What does this do? When I went in it was off, should I turn it on?
[Droid Eris General] WesleyGator:
I am having the same problem and realize it can be fixed with the airplane mode sequence but don't want ot have to remember this EVERY time i restart my phone...which is a lot due to my phone dying from long periods away from a charger. I can't try frameworks fix because I have Dialer One installed as my dialer and cannot acccess that menu from the dialer. Will there be a permanent fix for this or is it possible to permanently fix this by flashing a file? Or is there a way to dissable Dialer One to access the HTC dialer for a brief period to use frameworks fix? When I uninstall Dialer One I can't access ANY dialer...so I had to reinstall. Thanks!

[Touch HD General] igor10:
Is is probably too late for such a declaration (or it'd be better to post in HD2...). Anyways, I just wanted to share a trivial thought with you: the HTC's official ability for firmware upgrades is a useless feature. I am owning an HD and owned other 3 HTC smart/mobile phones before and I never (repeat, NEVER) saw any major or significant official firmware upgrade.

Yes, there were bug fixes and regional tweaks but no update ever brought a significant feature to my phone. The reason is obvious too: HTC is busy with the next models.

Don't take me wrong, I'm not complaining. It's just an advise for people that might get caught with the marketing hype about the most powerful upgradable gadget blah blah blah. You'll discover that the gadget has half a year lifecycle and never sees a upgrade worth to talk about.

All the advanced features and up-to-date stuff comes from our ROM chefs that do an outstanding job towards the community. Still the cooked ROMS arent as stable and tested as the official ones and I'm talking about the official HTC position.
[HD2 General] Shadowsalyer:
Hi all, I'm new to the forums so don't be too harsh on me, and sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere (skipped through like 15 pages) :)

I have a, in my eyes, huge problem with the HTC Music player, sometimes it just skips songs or fast forward through them, then it takes a while before it stops and I can listen to music again, and sometimes it won't stop and I have to turn my phone off and on for it to work again. This is really annoying and happens 4 or 5 times in my 1 hour trip to school.

As I said, it does occur randomly, but on some songs more often then others. I put them on my phone with Windows Media Player. I also keep it upside down in my pocket if that's a problem. I also tried other ear-phones but that didn't solve anything.

Thanks in advance and I hope there's a solution to this ^^ also, are there more people with this problem, I have searched the internet quite a bit but found no information whatsoever.
