[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
there should be some files on the ruu fix post that you can download. You don't need a nandroid.

Cbarlon--I will get back to you on the pm you sent.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shallow1:
What does this mean?

From the ruu fix thread:

"2) Plug phone into PC/MAC - The HTC logo should appear at this point

---- If you've been doing anything else, rerun the RUU and let it fail and reboot to the HTC logo.

3) PC - fastboot oem boot | MAC - ./fastboot oem boot"

Im at the HTC screen but how do I run fastboot? Is there a command line program I must use? Ive tried holding the volume button down and turning the phone on but no joy.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
This is exactly why people shouldn't play with their phones if they haven't done any research first.

fastboot is a program that comes with the Android SDK. You need to download that. Plug your phone into your PC and you should get the HTC logo. If you have a pc you type 'fastboot oem boot' from a command window.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezpm:
Start with downloading the Android SDK

http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r05-windows.zip
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
That's exactly what I said

Download android sdkand unzip to c:\android-sdk-windows

Follow directions in that RUU error 110 post and if it doesn't work, reboot your phone. When it is stuck at the htc screen

open up command and type

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

then

fastboot devices

If it shows you a devices keep command prompt open then download

http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

and the nandroid.7z file on the RUU 110 error fix post. Unzip(you might have to download and install 7 zip) and copy the recovery.img you downloaded along with boot.img, data.img, and system.img that ere in the nandroid.7z zip into c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

You should then have all the files that you need to follow the steps

If you don't get any device turn off phone and while holding down the volume down buttonturn the phone on. Then press the volume up button once you are on the fastboot screen.

Back in command type fastboot devices. You should then get devioce id. Try the steps again.

I searched, in every circumstance where someone was getting the following error:

E:Verification Failed

When trying to apply updates, they did not have root or there was some other issue that prevented them from su commands.

Here's the thing, I've got root, can su, can install updated roms.

Current running 1.6 / Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 / HTC-Dream / T-Mobile G1

Can apply system updates all day long. Cannot apply themes packed as update.zip, I get "E:Verification Failed" every time. Additionally CMUpdater will update ROMS, but when I add Theme Servers the theme will download and will not apply.

If this has been addressed in another thread, my apologies - I did search and every instance involved someone not having true roots on their device.

I am so annoyed right now because I can't figure this out.

I am running cyan 5.0.6 on handset and windows 7x64 on my pc.

I mount the phone using a usb cable and then try to drag over a few gig worth of data. The fastest it will transfer is about 1.6 MB/s.

I am assuming this is not normal as it should be using usb 2.0 speeds.

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? How can I tell if the appropriate USB 2.0 drivers are installed and working on the PC?

Any help would be super appreciated.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd78:
I have tried different port, different cable, and different computer. But the other computer is running win 7x64 as well.

Is there a setting or driver I might be missing?

I should add that I can transfer the same files to a cheapo Verbatim usb stick using the same port and computers at around 5 MB/s.

Also, USB debugging mode is off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
Maybe the drivers for the USB mass storage device didnt install correctly. Connect your N1 to the computer, Go to Device manager, under Universal Serial Bus controllers, right click and uninstall the USB mass Storage Device. Disconnect your n1 and reconnect it.

Anyone else getting more than 2MB/s when you mount your nexus via usb cable?

I really hope this isn't the case. @futango, I tried doing the driver thing and it didn't help. Still around 1.6 MB/s
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schahr01:
Also on win7 x64 - That's what I consistently get, 2 MB/s

I thought it was due to the stock 4GB microSD being class 2 but my new a-data 16GB class 6 performs the same.

There is a way to increase it artificially but it's not recommended. The default volume policy for the mounted sdcard in windows (maybe just win7 x64) is to mount it for quick removal without proper eject or unmount. That means write caching is disabled. You can enable write caching at the risk of data corruption but I have noticed that it too is not that fast - I forget the exact MB/s numbers I got.

Edit: Nevermind - If the N1 is limiting the xfer to 2MB/s then changing policies doesn't do anything. Just appears faster but in the end it's really not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd78:

Finally got some time to install/test SwiFTP.

First, there is a bug in the current version of SwiFTP (1.2.4). I left the default dir to "/". I would have like to forced the server on "/sdcard". But I kept getting a 550 FTP error msg, thanks to the SwiFTP wiki, I found the solution through the comment posted by users.

Here is the setup:

Nexus One:

CM6.1.1 (WildMonks 010611)

SetCPU: ondemand

SwiFTP: "Keep phone awake" option checked.

MicroSD: Kingston 32Gb Class 4

PC:

Dell Latitude Laptop with FileZilla.

06:39:37	Réponse:	150 Data socket ready

06:44:36	Réponse:	226 Transmission complete

------

4m 59s to transfer... I'll round to 5 minutes! ;)

33.2 Mbytes/min.

553 Kbytes/sec. (This is coherent with the reading I got while transferring).

1Gb would take approx. 30 minutes... (rounding).

32Gb = 16 Hours to fill the whole thing!

The file I for download test:

update-cm-6.1.1-N1-signed.zip 69.6 MB (73*043*462 bytes)

07:00:43	Commande :	RETR update-cm-6.1.1-N1-signed.zip

------

1m 28s to transfer... I'll round to 1.5 minutes.

46.4 Mbytes/min.

775 Kbytes/sec.

1Gb would take approx. 21-22 minutes to grab.

Side note: parallel transfer does not help (at least with SwiFTP), 2 transfer at once are slower than 1 file at a time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lythandra:
Transferring files to my phones is pretty slow also so I just take the SDcard out and use a reader to transfer the files then stick the card back in for large amounts of data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thkam:
Hi,

I'm currently using CM7 on my HTC Desire and the USB file transfer rate is less than 200kb/s. I used to have over 2.0MB/s USB file transfer rate with Froyo 2.2 stock ROM with the same Kingston Class 6 16GB SD card. I have been testing with different ROMs (Oxygen v2.0, Pays-Desire-SenseHD v1.1, OpenDesig 4.0.36 & MIUI-Au), and only MIUI-Au can give me 3.5MB/s to 5MB/s with the same memory card and USB cable. Therefore, I think the problem is not the phone or memory card. A work around would be using File Expert FTP option to transfer the files via WIFI connection that gives you about 2.0MB/s. The only problem is, you'll need a stable connection to transfer big files.

Cheers,

Though if going into recovery its much much quicker. Went from 74min to transfer 19 files @ 1.73Gig to 6min. This is on XP 64-bit.

So from 1.2Meg/sec to 4.8Meg/sec yeah thats a nice improvement!

Though I wonder if the transfer rate is slower in the phone mode because its charging the phone at the same time compared to being in recovery mount mode when it is only doing data (no charging).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWobbles:
It does seem to be something in the latest rom packs. If it works outside in recovery mode no real reason why it wouldn't work when the phone is in normal mode. Curious one.... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thkam:
Not SD Card Issue

Reading from some CyanogenMod forums, the slow USB transfer problem seems related to Kernel, not SD card. Some said that 2.6.35.10 gives 8mb/s but I have not personally tested it. Another person said CM7.0.2.1 fixes it but I'm still getting about 0.5MB/s writing speed. Anyway, I find transfer over WIFI using File Expert is fast enough for my daily media file transfer. The downside is, you'll need stable WIFI connection.

Cheers.
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Could anyone point me in the direction of a good ebook resource, cheaper the better or preferably free, for the HD2 please? I recently bought a couple from the WH Smith ebook site. While I admit they were a very good read, they were also very expensive. I've tried Project Gothenburg, their books aren't to my taste I'm afraid, I'm not into classical literature. I just prefer a straight forward, preferably true, read i.e non-fiction, auto-biographies, true crime etc.

By the way, I use the MobiReader software, although I'm thinking of changing this as it's not perfect on the HD2. Or either I'm not using it correctly??

I would appreciate any pointers please on both points.

I'm absolutely staggered at some of the prices we're expected to pay for an ebook, an ebook for gods sake! It's not even a real book with pages and a cover that sits nicely on your bookshelf!!!

I've just looked on several uk based websites and I'm astounded at the prices!

For instance, a cricketing hero of mine, his auto-biography in ebook format is over £17!! What??!! Ryan Giggs auto is £9+! I actually purchased this book (proper) around 18 months ago and I think I paid £6.99.

What's going on? Something is very, very wrong indeed!
