After RoufianosV2.5 rom up..

Mounted Readonly SD card

The SD card has an unexpected problem....

Help me!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilegend:
me too ><

and this was how i solved the problem,i unmounted the micro sd card under the SD & phone storage options then remounted it again. thats how i solved it, hope it helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quanghaidv04:
I think that reason is your Room. to me, i used old Room (V1.9 in xda forum) i always see this problem. You put SD-card out and put card reader in, click right--->properties-->tools--->check--->select to fix. Hope you will fix this. The best way, I recommend that you should use other room more stable such as LeeDroid v1.8 (I am using it)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stewge:
This happens to me on LeeDroid 1.8 as well.

Looks like I'm moving back to OpenDesire (TBH...the only reason I changed was to get psx4droid working :p)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
I switched my sd card to old phone and connected to pc (you could use card reader instead), windows 7 recognized error and offered me to fix it, that's how I solved the problem.

Avoid using phone for data transfer until they find better solution...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiia:
Happening to me too using LeeDroid 1.8

The problem seems to be in some corrupted image files. Some of my images just suddenly become corrupted and when I open the gallery and it tries to load the thumbnail of the image the sd card goes into read only mode. I managed to fix it by finding the corrupted images, opening them on photoshop and saving them again, but the problem is coming back all the time.
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
Hey guys, so i have a unique opportunity that ive been given, i could if i want trade in my incredible for a Droid X, because my friend has a 2 year upgrade available and he really wants an incredible, so he told me he was fine with buying a Droid X with the upgrade and then me and him just swap phones

I know that in general, the phones are very close performers, however im just looking at one specific thing here and that is the Camera that both utilize... HTCs is 8 megapixels and Motorolas is also 8 Megapixels... both are also capable of taking 720p videos so on paper they would seem to be idential, however we know thats not the case

Alot of users have reported that the HTC Incredible / Evo Camera while taking 720p video is rather mediocre and sub-par to what youd expect, and that it also suffers from a low FPS video capture using that resolution... So i was wondering if the Motorola solution is the same way or does that 8MP Camera that they utilize in the Droid X a superior one to that of the DINC?
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
Honestly, the camera and video performance has been a phenomenal experience on the incredible. Your dealing with a phone here and the differences between the two (if there are) will be quite slim. Sure if you put the two side by side, you may see a difference however it's not going to be replacing your point-and-shoot camera or DSLR.

If you're stuck deciding between the two I'd highly suggest you take a look at what's going to feel better for yourself whether it be the size/form factor or the software that your dealing with/ whether or not you want to be able to have the ability to switch roms.

If you absolutely don't care and the decision maker comes down to the camera, honestly, either one will be a fantastic choice -- I just suggest rethinking where you are on the fence about the phones.
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
Its not just a camera... however the Droid X's size does not bother me at all, ive been tinkering with them in the verizon stores for awile now and havent been dissapointed..

FYI i went into a Verizon store today and went to one of the Droid X's up on display and installed Quadrant Benchmark on it from the market and right off the display shelf it did a 1200 quadrant score... and thats running a 2.1 rom fully stock with no modification.... 1200s is what we incredible owners are hitting running FROYO and custom roms, that won me over... the Droid X is just a better performer
[Droid Incredible General] magneticzero:
good luck with the locked bootloader
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
Thats the one downside that im fully aware of... coming from a rooted and rom'd incredible
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
Honestly, benchmarks don't mean ****. I've used both and I can tell you, without a doubt, the incredible is faster, smoother, and all around nicer to look at.
[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
On paper the X seems like it should perform MUCH better than the Incredible (sorry... OMAP vs. Qualcomm ANYTHING... OMAP wins), but yeah in having an incredible and spending a decent amount of time with the X, the X seemed noticeably slower in a few things. For one, just swiping left and right between home screens, the Inc is butter smooth, the X animates far more choppy... even my wife noticed this, and she is not the kind of person who cares about that kind of stuff. Also, opening apps, often the Inc would open faster, usually by less than a second, but still. I also had a hard time getting a steady shot with the camera.

of course, the bigger screen is very nice, and dedicated camera button should be f'ing mandatory these days (HTC!!). For gaming, the X is going to stomp the Inc (though, they both bow down to the Galaxy S).

It's all personal preference, but having tried the X, I don't regret having the Inc.
[Droid Incredible General] jbrowning37:
Yeah the incredible is smoother. I ran bench mark on my incredible and it ranked higher than the x. So i guess bench mark can be inconsistent
[Droid Incredible General] dezoris:
You are either an HTC person or not.

I had both and had to dump the X because exchange support is loaded with bugs and notifications are broken.

HTC licenses active sync so exchange support is flawless.

I also found the white level control on the HTC to be far superior.

The Motorola is always shooting with a yellow cast to the pictures.

Low light the HTC has better color but the noise reduction is out of control.

I also think the HTC camera is faster.

Motorola has the edge on the gallery scrolling, its much faster. HTC is like slow motion compared.

HTC is more of a software company than Motorola and it shows.

You have to load at least 5 apps on the Motorola to get most of the functionality you do with Sense, including a launcher which completely defeats the point of Moto Blur.

Little things like icon notifications for gmail and exchange are built into sense.

You have to download a GMAIL notifier app for the Motorola and you dont have a way to get icon notifications on exchange at all on the Motorola.

Little nuances add up big time which is why despite the small size the Incredible is a better overall phone right now.
[Droid Incredible General] shoman24v:
X had dedicated GPU.
[Droid Incredible General] viccyran:
I love the formfactor for the DINC, but if I had a choice to switch... I would just switch with his old crappy phone for now and give him the dINC, then wait for the verizon galaxy S to drop and upgrade to that. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldash:
Should be getting my EVOs tomorrow or Wednesday... Need a checklist of things to do / check.

A) Battery calibration? I read a post somewhere about a calibration technique HTC sent out that has to do with cycle charging it.

B) Root

C) Clockwork Recovery

D) Choose Kernel and Rom

Am I missing any steps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Don't bother with calibration.

Don't update or let them update then for you.

Root fully w/ nand unlocked

Recovery doesn't really matter which one.

Choose rom based on what you want.

Use new kernal only if needed/available for your rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldash:
Thanks Dan. Why do you not recommend calibration, I thought reports were good that it worked? Placebo?

Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
I guess it wouldn't hurt to calibrate it.....if you be to rooting make sure you do a lot of reading on here first.there are a few methods too root,so it can get a little confusing....make sure you fully root.....and make sure you choose the correct rooting method for whatever software version your running.good luck.

I was running unrEVOked 3 and attempted to do the new OTA update for 2.2. When that failed I came to the conclusion that I had to regain stock in order to apply the OTA. This is the best tutorial I could find. Worked like a charm for me. Hope it helps some of you guys!

Anyone that is having problems getting the PTA update for Froyo should definitely try this method. It confirmed to work as far as I'm concerned. I chose the most recent RUU and made sure I used the HTC link that was provided. If you follow the instructions exactly you should not have a problem.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agnivarsh:
I am trying to go into the recovery screen but failing (i see the nexus logo instead).

Device is unlocked. I flashed Amon Ra's recovery image and tried - but that didn't work either. I flashed back to stock but that doesn't do anything either.

Each time I go into fastboot (white screen with a bunch of android guys) and then wait a few seconds (shows some sort of sdcard enumeration) and then select recovery. I end up staring at the nexus one logo from that point on.

Help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Do you not have a recovery installed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agnivarsh:
Is this different from flashing Amon Ra's recovery image or the stock recovery image?

The nexus one is unlocked. I put the device in bootloader mode (white screen) and then connected to my PC. Then, I checked with

fastboot devices

It showed the device

Then I flashed the recovery using

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img

It did this:

sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)... OKAY [ 0.581s]

writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.560s]

finished. total time: 2.143s

Then I rebooted the phone - got back to the bootloader and selected recovery.

It goes to the nexus logo and is stuck there :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agnivarsh:
Just wanted to let you guys know that after flashing it one more time and going through the process again - I was able to get into RA-nexus recovery :)

Thanks for your help (if nothing else - for responding to me and keeping me sane)!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agnivarsh:
That was too good to be true :( Once I got through to recovery, I flashed cyanogen rom and rebooted. Now back to square one. Can't get back into recovery - nor will it boot into Cyanogen. Will keep trying.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn on USB debugging mode if your device isnt booting? (wondering if that is an issue?)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgarttr:
this only work if you root ok download rom manger and install from theare you can install clockworkmod or RA recovery .
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
Once in recovery wipe cache and dalviche cache, also do a full wipe (first option under wipe)

Then download stock ROM, enable USB toggle in recovery, copy it and flash it and report back here

what should i be converting too?

have you played avi. on it? also did you get that from the market? Thanx for answering my questions without flamming me LOL
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
haha. yeah, plays avi files great. The free trial version is on the market, beware, the trial sucks, limits you to 2 min, has ads, the control bar won't go away.

But using the free version will show you if it can play the types of files you are looking for. The pay version actually works really well, no glitches.

You can also try rock player, plays almost any file...

Sorry if this is plainly obvious, but how do you check to see the size of your MTD partition. Also, I changed the size of my internal partition but it still only shows a low number (23 mb). Is that normal?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby4059:
No, the 23 mb is what's displayed as internal memory. The reason I am asking is because in the superfroyo thread, the op suggested you use firerats patch so you can have all apps on internal memory. I did the patch (even used a config file from thread) and my internal memory is still low. So am I still completely wrong here?

Six,

Hey awesome & clean looking animation. Hey I followed your simple directions, and think I'm stuck in a bootloop. I tried to just reflash the cm5.08 file but, it still has your animation and wont get startup. Any suggestions on how to either switch back to the default animation or fix it so that the phone will boot up?

Thanks,
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tribalartgod:
I had this same issue, but with the burning apple animation... Unfortunately, the only way that I was able to get out of it was a NAND restore... If you don't have a NAND backup, or no one else has a better method, then sorry to say, but you're beat.

EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, there is another way...

Boot into recovery mode

Open Terminal

cd data <enter>

cd local <enter>

rm bootanimation.zip <enter>

cd .. <enter>

cd .. <enter>

cd system <enter>

cd media <enter>

rm bootanimation.zip <enter>

reboot <enter>

These steps SHOULD return you to the original boot animation built into CM-5.0.8

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesireOwner10:
Hi..hoping someone can help me out.

BACKGROUND

Got an unlocked, unbranded, basically unaltered-from-the-factory HTC Desire A8181.

Been eagerly awaiting the Froyo update which I happily noted (on the phone itself) was available yesterday in OTA :)

Unhappily, I was unable to complete the update with it stopping around the 50% mark when I ran into a data download limit. :(

ISSUE

I have now tried reconnecting to get the update (Settings > About Phone > System software updates) and the phone is thinking it is up to date! :eek: (Your phone is up to date. There are no updates available for your phone)

Clearly, it isn't up to date (Settings > About Phone > Software Information: Firmware version=2.1-update1)

QUESTION

Is there a "registry" or something somewhere that I need to hack to tell it that it isn't up to date?

Thanks in anticipation - really want to get the update!!

(yes..I've tried restarting the phone..no luck though it did come up with a notification that other programs had updates but not the Android OS itself!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
Sounds like you using an Asian ROM, they haven't been released yet. I had the same, so I Made a gold card, changed to a WWE rom and then updated OTA.

Let me know if you need instructions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesireOwner10:
Thanks for the reply wickedpenguin (ah..gotta to love forum names).

So that it is clear:

This A8181 is from the UK

It did indicate there was an OTA update available which as I said I was half way through prior to data disconnection - the A8181 only thought it was up to date after this update interruption.

So since it is from the UK and I did get an indication an update was available..do I have an Asian ROM? (please forgive me if I'm wrong..new at this).

If I do have an Asian ROM..did what you write before mean changing it to another type? (obviously from that it means I will need instructions if this is something I need to do)

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfcry:
I have the same problem.

I canceled the update due to i wanted to run it from a WiFi connection and now i cannot update anymore.

I receive that the phone is up to date, but it is not :(:mad:

Can someone help us!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blubber83:
Exactly the same thing here. I tried a factory wipe also tried wiping the cache and booting without SDCard, nothing seems to work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Futurian:
I can't post links yet but had similar experiences and have documented my experience in the "Desire General" section. The key for me was to update using a Gold Card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gre0:
I had the same problem this morning, but now it's available again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesireOwner10:
Arrgh! Foiled again!!

Ok..I second the above. I managed to get the Desire to recognise it wasn't up to date today. After waiting a LONG time for the 90Mb update I then run into another problem...

DESIRE NEEDS 25Mb phone memory to do the update!

I cleared the space but then ended up with the same problem where the phone thinks it is up to date (when it isn't).

So..take home message people - make sure your phone has at least 25Mb memory free! (bring on the App2SD)

Android OS developers - please take note that the phone should check for this prior to downloading a 90Mb system update!! Alternatively..make it obvious to the user how to run an update that has already been downloaded (I can't even see where it is on my SD card).

Now I'm back to square one. Is the day in which you tried to do a failed update a factor in the phone recognising if it is up to date or not? If so..I suppose I just have to try this again tomorrow? Grr.. :mad:

same problem for me here - it did indicate the update, but I had no time to install, so just canceled that.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesireOwner10:
Thanks for response.

I bought this phone from someone else. I myself didn't do a factory wipe on it but given what you're saying, is that what Firmware version=2.1-update1 means?

It has been 2 days since my 2nd unsuccessful up date - the phone still thinks it is up to date.

I got in touch with HTC. Their suggestion was to wind the phone forward 2 years - not sure if this would work but would if I could: The phone is managing to hang onto the current date despite me manually setting it (yes, I have unchecked the "Use network-provided values" option and have even gone as far as taking out the SIM card to stop it from getting onto the cell network).

Anyone have any ideas on how to get my phone to get with the program or at least force it to go forward 2 years to see if that will work?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavis82:
Exactly the same problem here. I've got the same firmware version as you. I bought the phone brand new from Amazon UK.

I read elsewhere about the date trick. I'm having the same issue updating the date, it instantly changes back. This doesn't happen when the phone is disconnected from the internet so I presume the date is being updated from an NTP server or something. Of course, the phone has to be connected to do the update so I'm looking for a way of switching this auto-date feature off, or blocking it at the router. Blocking the NTP port doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Does this date trick even work anyway?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snakemaycry:
I've tried the same thing, but I've also tried to disable WiFi, change date on mobile internet and then try to update. The date has changed, but still i get a message that everything is up to date.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavis82:
Wow, quick reply! Really enjoying this forum...

So are you saying that setting the date forward, say 2 years, doesn't trick the phone into updating?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavis82:
Might be getting somewhere with this...

I've blocked all network traffic to my HTC Desire at my wifi's firewall, and checked via the phone's browser to make sure that the phone can't get online. Then I tried to check for updates again, and the phone came back with the same message 'Your phone is up to date'. It couldn't possibly have checked, as it can't communicate with the update server.

The router reports that the phone is trying to access 63.241.57.68 when checking for updates. Using my laptop, I've found that I can't access this IP address. Traceroute doesn't work, and centralops.net can't reach it. So I wonder if the reason that our phones won't update is either because they're either attempting to connect to the wrong IP address, or the update server is down (or overloaded)?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
I have a same problem. I have unbranded Desire (never locked, never rooted, bought in EU) and I get a message that my phone is up to date. My friends who bought Desire at a same carrier as I did already got Froyo on their phones. I can move the date forward (2011 or 2012), but as soon as I enable Wlan connection, date goes back to 2010. I don't want to use gold card because Froyo should be already available OTA.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavis82:
The more I look into this, the more I think that it's just a case of the update servers being hammered.

Apparently the traceroute I tried earlier wouldn't have worked anyway, as the connection is routed through attens.net who block traceroutes, pings etc. for security reasons.

Just keep trying, I'm sure eventually we'll get through!
