Hello good people (^^,)

I've run into a problem I really can't fix. I've searched and tried to fix it myself but haven't got anywhere.

I'm busy trying to cook XDA_UC into my ROM, it works perfectly. The only problem I have is that Opera 9.7 just refuses to work without RunCC cooked in and run on first boot. It starts loading and shows the splashscreen for a few seconds and then just quits. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile] leadpoizon:
there is a provxml file among the Opera 9.7 files that puts many of the files where they belong. You need to cook those files into the correct places to make Opera work. I think that's the problem, because RunCC is probably using the proxml and doing the same thing to make Opera work.
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
I ended up just downloading the cab from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=486502 and converting it to EXT. It's working well :)

The provxml thing might work too, I never tried it. Thanks though (^^,)
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
I've now ran into the same problem as you SeeM, and can't find a solution.

I tried converting one of those from the link in your post to an ext, but it didn't launch either, even after deselecting (obviously) the opera package in the EXT package list.

As far as the provxml... that doesn't work without RunCC? For any package??? I'm confused about what stickfigure said.

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Does anyone have any ideas?? I can't get any package working. I even made sure that all the file operations in the provxml were completed, just in case it didn't work for some reason, and that all the reg entries were valid... Idk what could be going wrong!
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
I ran into the same issue with XDA_UC as well. I am not too sure what fixes it yet as well...
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Dang :/ ok, well for now I just cooked in RunCC until I find a solution or a workaround lol. This is ridiculous lol

This has been my exact experience with the phone, although I rooted my phone and have not performed a factory reset:

-Still using the GPS 'fix' and get 5-10 sec locks with good accuracy.

-After rooting, every once in a while (one of four times) I have to log into Google Talk before accessing the market.
[Vibrant General] SugarMouth:
I did a reset as well and it eliminated a lag I had. This thing flies now. The compass however is not as accurate or as fast as my Nexus one compass. I tried the navigation and it works fine.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Coming from a n1 I make sweet love to my vibrant everynight.. me and my girl have a 3some with it...
[Vibrant General] raduque:
I've factory reset and done the GPS "fix" a couple times now, and none of it helps. My GPS locks fairly quick, but it never picks up more that 2 satellites and (in GPS Test) it only connects to the two satellites with the highest SNR. It's also very inaccurate in Google Maps, the indicator jumps around a lot.

I actually have no other problems than GPS issues, so I'm going to exchange it a little later today.
[Vibrant General] thunderstruck!:
If I ever borrow your phone you'll understand why I wipe it down real good before I put it to my ear.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Bravo OP! This is just the nature of things. When android dropped on the G1 the community had a bloody out cry... Low and behold, two years later the phone is still being modded/upgraded. Where the only thing lacking now is the hardware. With time and patience im sure the vibrant will soon be seeing some light in the modding world.

For the ppl who complain, go buy an iphone

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] SmileyKilla:
Hey, i just got a new phone(htc diamond). And my father(who owned the phone before me) told me that this is a good forum site to get stuff for my phone. So i looked at a few threads and found a really cool theme i like to install on my phone. But i have no clue how to do that. Can someone tell how to do that.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] not4you:
try this

wellcome, first verify if you HTC Touch Diamond, if so ... always know the ROM you have on your phone. And then in time you will configure the phone the way you whant. But for themes you need this at the beggining.

[Desire General] Kurai Kitsune:
I was just minding my own business, trying to make an ext2 partition for apps2sd... But now my Desire keeps looping on the startup logo. Wont finish booting into Android.

I can access recovery just fine, i can restore with nandroid, i can apply new roms, i can do everything it should do there EXCEPT finish booting into OS.

So how did I get here? I went the Paragon route (as i'd bought it a while ago for windows, but never used it). So, tried it, windows wanted a restart to finish the ext2 partition on the sd card (mounted on the phone), so restarted, paragon then interrupts windows startup to perform the task, then it bluescreens me. tried it a few more times, still bluescreen. Now Windows won't boot either cuz Paragon is in the master boot sector or w/e.

Did a system restore and got windows back finally.

I even put my goldcard back into the phone. No difference. Any other ideas, XDA peeps?
[Desire General] Undesirable:
Format the SDCard and use Rom Manager to partition it instead.
[Desire General] Kurai Kitsune:
Sure i'll give that a try, once I can get the phone to finish booting up to OS. Cuz atm I can't to crap with it cycling on the startup logo.
[Desire General] Qriouz:
Install a ROM that doesn't use the a2sd. Then you should be able to boot no matter what SD card is in your phone. Then use ROM manager to partition SD card and install another ROM afterwards.
[Desire General] rexmundo:
Amonra

Use a recovery that allows partitioning of the card within the recovery.

AmonRa allows this. Instructions @

[Desire General] Kurai Kitsune:
Right, worked booting up with an OS that doesn't do a2sd. Formatted and will try restoring original os now. Cheers, Qriouz.

And i did think of installing another recovery image that lets you partition, but can't install the other recovery when all i could do was use the current recovery. Unrevoked requires you be in the OS
[Desire General] markhd:
Flash generic wwe rom then re root with recovery that allows partitioning?
[Desire General] chr15gb:
I've experienced boot loops a few times on my Hero.

Simplest way to move forward is to remove the SD Card, it then boots up okay.

Solution - - -

Copy the entire SD Contents onto your PC

Refit the SD Card

Boot to recovery -> Partition SD Card

Make Ext -> convert to Ext3

Boot up, reboot, remove card

Copy everything back onto the card from the PC -> refit the card.

No doubt easier ways but I found it quicker than reflashing and going through all the set up again.
[Desire General] Kurai Kitsune:
Splendid. Booted after loading OS without app2sd. fixed SD card, restored from nand backup, workin great now.

Thanks guys~

Has anyone gotten their Wiimote to pair with the Captivate using the WiimoteController app? I've been trying, and it refuses to sync up.

I'm thinking maybe the app just has to be updated to work with the phone, because if I search for bluetooth devices, I can see it, but I can't pair with it because it needs a password.

i spoke to my friend who works at sprint and he said that sprint notified them a august 23rd release. He has the same phone so he's always in the look out for any info about it.

This is not a confirmation that it will come out on such day since we all know how release days goes. So don't get your hopes up.
[EVO 4G General] StealthTH:
My Girlfriend's Cousin's Aunt who slept with a Sprint CEO confirms this date as well.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikepilot:
i have had a android phone since the g1 came out with tmobile. I have had to switch to different phone company's because of myself moving. We first had sprint and I had the evo. Now with that phone I had no trouble and I loved it. But because of family they decided to go with At&t. So I got the n1 because at that time they had no real android phone. When I had the evo I never had any trouble with it. I Love you could copy and past Unlike the n1 :(... And I noticed when I go to download pictures from the default browser on the n1. It tell me that the download was unsuccessful. Now this is not on all web pages just certain ones. Manly www.asianescapades.com... Now I would fig that with the same operating system I would not have this trouble.. When I use opera I can do most thing with it but still have trouble with opera.

Now with that I was thinking is their a way to flash the evo ROM on the n1 ? or another ROM. With same kind of features. PLEASE HELP ME OUT... email me at bikepilot@gmail.com

I was wondering if anyone who got a Nexus One recently know if they have a LCD screen instead of the AMOLED screen. If so I was wondering if you know the following:

1) Does the LCD screen have the multitouch issue with crossing of the axis?

2) How does the LCD screen compare with the AMOLED in terms of battery life?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
There is no Nexus One with LCD screens.

Hey guys I just finished runny simple root OTA edition. Everything went well and now I'm rooted. I am running into a couple of questions now.

1. Whats happens now? I'm rooted now how do i get those nice custom roms onto my phone?

2. I purchased ROM Manager because baked snacks rom says it was necessary for install but i can't get it to install clockwork mod, it keeps saying something about error running privileged commands.

3. How do I go back to stock ROM I'm starting to feel like I might be over my head at this point.

Thanks for your help guys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dws51:
I'm in the same boat. The two main reasons for rooting was for a new ROM and to use it as a hot spot (which so far I haven't been able to do.)

ROM Manager gives me the same error message about clockwork. Also, I would like to stop paying the $30 a month for the hot spot, so any help in that area would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
that was a great post im in the same boat as those guys above and im sure we are not the only ones, when you say put the file on the root of the sd card what is the root of the sd card? if i dont know that should i just not even be rooting?

edit

I just downloaded rom manager and i get the same response " an error occurred while attempting to run priviliged commands" i went through the root process and it said i was rooted, i read earlier that to check it i was rooted and nand unlocked that if i checked my hboot and it was 0.76 i was rooted and nand unlocked if i was 0.79 the root didnt work i was .76. Is there a different way to check if my root went through
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
The root of the SD card is the 'directory' you're in when you plug the card into the computer & you see folders like ".Mail" "Android" "DCIM" etc.

It's up to you if you think you can handle rooting. I used SimpleRoot & it was incredibly easy, but i have been familiar with modding phones for awhile now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
The root of something simply means not in a folder, e.g. on your computer it would be just G:/ (or whatever letter your SD card is mounted to). Just open the SD card and put whichever file you are referencing right there, not in any folder.

By the way, anyone can root, so long as you are willing to learn and willing to take a few risks. As long as you stay well informed, you usually don't break anything. And there is usually a way out, even if you make a train wreak, though it may be ugly. Independent developers (not me; smart people like Cyanogen and Toast who actually make these awesome ROMs and roots) have a better track record for keeping dangerous stuff out than some corporations. ***Cough***McAfee antivirus broke thousands of computers with a defective update***Cough*** Scientia est vox. Knowledge is power. Know what you're doing, and you'll be fine. You

will

make mistakes (I know I have), but stay sharp and know the consequences, how to go back, who to ask when things go South, and you'll do alright. The community here at XDA is one of the best and most helpful I have ever seen. If you're not totally hosed, someone will pull you out of the fire. It probably won't even be me. I'm no pro. But there is no shortage of pros here at XDA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
so what would you guys say the next step for me is, should i just do the simple root over? how can i check to see if im rooted? and what should i do about this rom manager giving me trouble with flashing the clockwork mod
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
See Above

If titanium backup works, you have root. As for Clockwork, please see my first post, where I went over it in detail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
OK well i installed titanium back up and busy box and it looks like im rooted? Im going to try to flash that superuser app tmw i left my usb cord at work so in about 12 hours ill probly be back with more questions

thanks for the encouragement the answers and most of all your time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
Cut the cord

It's personal preference, but there is a throughly cool free app called Awesome Drop that lets you send files without a cable. When you use it, files end up in the /drop directory on your phone. If necessary, you can move them out with a program like Astro File Manager.

By the way, Titanium backup shouldn't work without SU app, so I'm wondering if you do in fact have it. Have you looked through the S section of the App Drawer?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
I just went through my S' and all i have are the ones that came with the phone no super user but when u say it shouldnt work what should happen when i open the app?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
It should complain about being unable to acquire root privileges.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcaron:
How to check if you are root: Assuming you have ADB installed (you used simpleroot so, possibly not) just type "adb shell" into a command prompt. If it comes up with a "#" you are root, if it comes up with "$" type "su" and hit enter, if it switches to a "#" you are rooted. Also you can get a terminal emulator app (I love Better Terminal Emulator) and open it, type "su" and see if it gives you "#".

Did you do the SimpleRoot step where you replaced the recovery with your recovery of choice? I know more than one person that didn't do that step. Though the app should at least still TRY to reboot.

As said before, check your SuperUser permissions to make sure you didn't disallow Rom Manager.

As for CM6, don't get me wrong, I LOVE CM6, but, Fresh 1.0.1 or the latest Damage Control might be a safer bet. For your first rom CM6 needs more coaxing than you might like. Also tethering is installed by default in the 2.1 roms from those guys and it's (imho) easier and more obvious to use.

Keep at it, there will be times you feel like giving up even after you get past this point, just don't take it too seriously and remember that as long as you are still getting phonecalls your phone is still doing it's primary job, the rest is just icing. Icing that gets more delicious with time, like beer, mmmmmm beer.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcaron:
Crap, forgot, when someone says "put it on the root of the SD card" the easiest way to do that is hook it up via USB, hit the status tray that says "usb connected" and check the Hard Drive option. Then just copy your file to the new drive that will show up in windows (might pop up automatically depending on your windows settings) and boom, it's on the root of the SD card.

As for the "real" way to flash. Do the above, putting the .zip file containing whatever rom you want (for instance CM6, or Fresh 1.0.1 which you can obtain over in Development forum from their respective posts) on the root of the SD card. Safely remove the device (on windows it will be in your status bar, usually looks like a plug with a green arrow, click it, choose Mass Storage Device and then hit Stop, it will tell you when its done, make sure you have the folder closed before you do this or it will grump at you) and switch back over to Charge Only on your phone. Then power off the phone (hold the power button with the phone unlocked, choose Power Off, then Ok) and hold the volume down button. Then press power, don't let go of volume down but you don't have to hold power, just press it to turn it on. A white screen should come up, let go of the volume button, and one option will be Recovery. Use volume up and down to select it and press the power button to select. It should then boot you into recovery which should have an option to "wipe", you want to wipe dalvik cache, then cache, then factory defaults. Then go back up (in AmonRA that means hitting vol-up and vol-down at the same time), then goto "Flash .zip from sdcard" select it, hit power, select the zip file, power again, power one more time to confirm.

Once it's done you hit Reboot System Now and viola, first boot takes FOREVER so don't fret.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
no the option i get is update to zip and when i click that it does stuff for me and i cannot choose a file i think my problem lies to not choosing what recovery i wanted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
It is possible. The program I mentioned earlier (unrEVOked) should install a custom recovery for you. I can't put a link in this post because I'm on my phone, but a quick google search should find it.

To those having issues with rom manager after using simpleroot ota - here's how I got it to work. Note that this is what I remember doing, and that although i'm pretty sure it's what I did step by step, use at your own risk.

I was getting the same errors trying to use both rom manager and titanium backup. To solve it, I did the following. This is assuming you ran simpleroot ota because you already accepted the ota update from sprint.

1. Download the cm6 rc1 zipfile that's floating around and get it on your sdcard.

1.5 make sure you've gone into the optional menu in simpleroot ota and selected flash recovery (or something similar - I forgot the actual menu language) the instructions following apply to the clockwork recovery option.

2. Power off the phone

3. Enter recovery by simply powering the phone on while holding down the volume down button. You don't need to keep your finger on the power button but I found that you should keep pressing the volume down button for a few seconds.

4. Use the volume down button and select nandroid, and power button to select. Then scroll to backup with the volume keys and power button to select that. It will take a few minutes for it to do its thing. This is creating the backup in case you run into issues.

5. Back in the recovery menu, scroll to and select all of the wipe options that you see. Then go into the advanced options and do the same with the wipe options there.

6. Scroll to an select install rom from sdcard (not update)

7. Navigate to where you put the zipfile from earlier and select it. Let it do its thing. This might take a while.

Now you're on cm6, and the version of rom manager its packaged with should have no problems being used as an app and neither should tb.

Note that I wasn't able to use tb before I loaded, so it was a pita to reload everything, but try an application called mybackup from the market, free version will expire in 30 days bit it will let you back up call and txt logs and apps long enough to get tb up and running. It also doesnt need root.

Hi, first sorry for my bad english.

Since 2 days i have following problems, when i flash a new Rom my desire hang at the white HTC logo and restarts again and again. Sometimes it boots up but then i dont have the HTC-Setup Wizzard. When i try to add my Google-account manually in Settings my Desire reboot. The same happens when i try to connect WLAN.

It happens with OpenDesire 2.3, AOSPDesire 1.3.5 and CyanogenMod_6.

Strange is that DeFroST-2.4, LeeDroid-1.5 and Stock-Roms works fine.

I wiped everything and tried 3 differents SD-Cards. I also unroot and root again, but with no succes. I hope that anybody can help.
