Strictly speaking, you're right, a bricked device cannot be recovered without hardware replacement, but like most words in the english language, there is some flexibility allowed...

So what do we call a 'near-bricked' device, that for all intents and purposes, is bricked, but can be recovered without drastic measures...?

• Soft-Bricked

• iBricked

• Virtual-Brick

• Wet-Brick

Suggestions... :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noord453:
Hi,

I have created a gold card, and at first it was working fine, however I had to format it for all kind of reasons.

After the use as a normal SD card, I wanted to upgrade to a different Rom, so I had to create the gold card again. I did, but now it seems not to be working as it is intended. Using the RUU exe of HTC the program report Error 131 customer id. Looking in the different forums I conclude that the gold card is not recognized as gold card. I have rebuild it several times, even tried other gold images with different cards, so I recreated the cards all over again, but still no luck. Even tried to do it via different machines and SD readers, but no luck.

Is there a way to determine that the gold card is working properly, or to check it before you start upgrading to a different Rom?

Hope someone has an answer, or is triggered by my question to build a application to check the gold card.

Regards

Gerard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyeejay:
Hi there, I'm guessing you are rooted. I don't believe u need the goldcard to put a different Rom on yr device. I created mine before I rooted then when that all went well I took it out and put a bigger card in. I simply store Roms I like on the SD card and install them via fakeflash or download via Rom manager. I have flashed several times successfully without it:-)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noord453:
Hi there,

Yes my phone is rooted, but I was able to upgrade to 1.21 using RUU from HTC with the gold card coming from 1.19 vodafone. Now I want to go to 2.09 or to another ROM, and I am not able to do so, because of the Customer ID error 131. The official update OTA 2.09 is in a loop after downloading, so that is not working either.

I think I can upgrade using a gold card, however gold card creation is not working as explained in my first post.

Thx for your support, and hope to get answer to my first post.

what do you guys do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trancelated:
when you connect your phone to your PC, select MTP and copy all the folders to a safe place on your computer's drive, then open up KIES and click contacts/calender and search for a backup button and back up. when you are done, close all the windows on your cpomputer except the samsung kies one, and click upgrade buttton. and when it prompts to close all windows, close ok, and in the next menu you will be prompted to upgrade.

on a regular scale your phone would restart and some downloading screen will appear, and some text will scroll by, dont worry thats just the phone rewiring itself..

you will know when its ready :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mekwall:
Or use Titanium Backup to backup just about everything on your phone except home screen widgets. That includes app data, contacts, accounts and settings.

Why do you want to flash froyo? That's JP3, both unstable and slow compared to the latest 2.1 firmwares... Also, considering that you seem new to this you should start out with JM5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh_AxeY:
You could use something like appbrain to bookmark them... or could write them down.

Can also use Titanium Backup to back them up and restore them after flashing.

Titanium Backup is on the android market

Latest for us Optus Australians is JG4 firmware wise (excluding other country firmware).

It makes a HUGE difference versus the stock JF3.

Hope this lends some assistance.

i have friends that have asked me to help them root their phones. they have the original moto droid droid eris and incredible. i see people rooting these phones by booting the phone to recovery mode and loading an update. i then see them going through the setup again like they just unboxed their phone. does this mean that it wiped all the data off of the phone or does it keep all data intact like contacts etc? i have the droid x and rooted mine while the phone was on using one click root. also is their a good program out their that makes an image of the phone so if something gets jacked or deleted you can just restore everything back to the phone before root? thanks in advance and sorry bout the noob questions.

Install Dell Suite software, navigate to C:\Program Files\Dell\PC Suite\Mobile Phone Monitor, locate ADEProxy.exe rename to adb.exe and replace with wherever you are running adb from. Also make sure adb.exe is not running in task manager before doing this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
So I have Stock 2.1 rom htc Hero rooted with 1 click root. (Vista x64 and cant sync but the app inventor works fine)

I needed the space (thought I did, in the end I didnt)

And via titanium backup I uninstalled the stocks and stocks widget(without a backup). Now I got them from a very nice guy in apk form but I need also ODEX files to it.

I have a friend with the exact rom as me. BUT he doesnt have root and I am not sure I will be able to get root from him.

So any way to get the apk + odex without root? . And if no. How is the root way? :)

But cant push them back to the system.

He suggested I do it with the adb thingy but the first step:

adb remount -a

does this

when set change only = device not found

+ USB debugging = operation not permitted

Then I read here somewhere to try to install and move them to the system/app

But "application not installed" when trying to install

Bought yesterday the root explorer and was thinking to just move them to the system/app. Would it do some damage? Or just dont work? Or maybe work? :)

As you can see I dont have any idea what linux and android is about so I dont know what that move would do or anyone has any other idea how I could do this? (Without flashing :P)

And why I need it. There is a new update coming 405.2 with the G-sensor calibration tool (htc wrote me to get it) . But here somewhere I read that it wont install since in the package are updates for ALL apps even stocks.

I cant do much more to this hero, since its still in warranty :D (and kinda not mine :P) And I know more of this is posted here, and I tried to get some answers in some other threads, but no luck.

If I know the 405.2 will go on without the stocks and stocks widget installed , I wont even need this. But I cant be sure or did actually someone try this?

And thanks for any answer and sorry for doubleposting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdita2000:
I have created an UPDATE.zip without stocks, because I hate It and had removed from ny ROM too.

If You need It I can send You a link.

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Perdita, I wouldnt know what to do with the update.zip :) . If it involves adb.exe on the stock rom as described it didnt work. Also if I might to know.

Will I loose the future OTA update capability?

Will I loose warranty in some way?

Will I loose root?

And is your version compatible with mine? Meaning the locale files, languages etc?

Btw what would the original OTA do to my stock rom if it wont find the app? Will it boot into the recovery as did for the one guy in the thread before? Or it would just skip the files?

If it really just dont patch what it wont find I would wait :D

Perdita you seen the update what else is fixed as just the G-sensor, since that I fixed now manually and if thats the only change, no need for me to update kinda?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdita2000:
Latest PATCH updates about 100 files, so I don't think it shows changes G-calibration. I think that if you remove stocks with root, you will have errors with every patch that updates those files, so OTA updates that touches those files will fail too.

You will loose root for a while because you must re-root again (in my case I have update superuser application too).

About warranty, I don't know if you have root, and removed some applications from Stock ROM, you will have problems with warranty now?¿?¿?

Perdita2000,
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Well with the one click root and unroot I wont loose the warranty .

So perdita . you sau I wll get errors. But that means I will brick my phone? Wont boot or just wont update? Or just errors and will upadte and skip files.

And thanks for the answer
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdita2000:
You can't not update using standard OTA because it will try to patch files missing on your phone. That's all, you can't use HTC patches if you removed software to be patched...

I have tried and... files are not skiped, UPDATE just doesn't install...

Perdita2000,
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Ah thanks soo much for the info :D When I get out of work I will bug you more :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Perdita thanks for your asisstance :) .

But I was luckily able to get the apps back.

here is how (all at own risk!):

1. Find them :) . I found a suitable original non patched rom and extracted the apps I needed, in my case , STOCKS and WIDGET both APK and ODEX

2. Copy them with ROOT explorer to SYSTEM/APP (mount in RW)

3. Change permissions so they are the same as the other apps in that directory

4. Reboot (once or twice)

Maybe even the sense cache to erase and you have them back :P

This is what worked for me since I had no luck with the adb.exe :/

Now I am running the new update ....405.2 with ROOT and Stock rom (still with warranty :P)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdita2000:
Thanks PAGOT, but I'm running my own custom ROM without a lot of unusefull apps for me and a added apps and custom kernel to, so I want to update just files I have on my rom that's why a told you to use a custom UPDATE.zip.

Wonderful news. I think the Wildfire is a very nice device but all it needs is some custom ROM :p
[Wildfire Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Is this a version of "Forever" where the recovery was actually written and the NAND protection on the partitions disabled or is this more like the Slide root and the ClockworkMod "fake-flash" recovery where u load into stock rec and hit apply update.zip and it boots a temp recovery so u can flash ROMs? Thanks for any info.... CR
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Hi,

The recovery is permanently written and NAND disabled inside that recovery. I'm not sure whether, once a custom Rom is flashed, NAND prot will be disabled in true boot. Having never built a custom Rom before, I need to do some research - and find some time - before I can answer that one.

Best,

Martin
[Wildfire Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Thank u for the fast response... That gives me hope at a NAND unlock for the Slide being as the Wildfire is a GSM device... I think lol... I dont have one but thats what Im assuming... I come from the Slide forums and am just researching everything... Myself and nbetcher are trying to pick up the slack on our left behind device and were making good progress but have been stumped a bit by the NAND protection... I have put ROM development to the side and have dedicated myself to the NAND unlock (S-OFF) hax... After our newest root method I have been toying with hax on NAND and this new developement is a good sign... Thanks for the info... CR
