[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owolfson:
This is my first post on this forum (figures I'll jump head in when I have a serious issue,ha?)

Ok here goes:

My Issue: HTC Desire is stuck on boot-up screen with Green HTC logo forever.

How it happened: I tried flashing a script using ROM Manager that was supposed to correct some local language settings, over my current rom.

Phone state before action: Worked beautifully using Modaco R8 RC1 ROM. Phone is of course rooted.

Why I can't solve it myself: Well, this is my first serious issue (well, I hope it's not serious, actually!) with phone, which i've had for about a week , so I'm relatively a n00b.

-- I can access Clockworkmod recovery. However, under NANDROID RESTORE there are no files. I have no idea why, because I DID a full nandroid backup before that install. I have a copy of all the IMG files of the last working setup on my windows machine hard drive, and my assumption is that maybe I accidentally moved the files to the hard drive after i did that backup, instead of copying them.

Now -

1) Can I somehow restore the phone to a working state without the nandroid backup, using some other function of the CW Mod recovery?

2) Can I somehow connect the phone via USB to the computer and get it to read the Micro SD card so I could maybe move the IMG files I have back to SD Card (using a mounting option)?

3) Anything else I could try?

If nothing else, please just calm me down if you can and let me know the phone is fixable and not bricked because I can access recovery?! That would at least help me go through the night...

last note: Before I flashed the zip, ROM Manager said my CW Mod version is 2.0.5.7. Within the recovery itself, it says the version is only 2.0.5.1. Don't know why that is , and if it is important.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
You could read the SD Card directly with your computer. If you don't already have a microSD/USB reader, they are very cheap and will prove very useful in situations exactly like this one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owolfson:
You are right! Indeed they are very cheap, but, unfortunately it's going to be a game of patience for me, because it's late evening right now and the shops are closed.

That's why I Was wondering if there's an option to mount SD using HBOOT or Recovery so I could end this ordeal tonight...

Anyway, The fact I could get into CM Recovery means the phone was not permanently damaged, right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Right, if you can boot into recovery it's a good sign.

I have an N1, not a Desire, but in my CM recovery menu under "partitions menu" there is a "mount USB storage" option. Try that?

Alternately if you own any other phone with a microSD slot that can mount it via USB, it could be your makeshift USB reader.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLC:
I have had a similar issue before! What I actually ended up doing was pushing the files using ADB. Its quite easy and I'm sure you can find lots of threads on how to use it. Once the files are pushed to your SD card you can then restore it :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owolfson:
FIXED!

Problem solved! And yeah, that's how I ended up doing it.. no micro SD card reader was needed..

I installed HTC Sync for the device drivers... then connected the Desire with the USB cable .. and worked out of the problem using ADB commands..

luckily, the guy whose update I installed that caused the problem has the same ROM as myself, so I installed his framework.jar file , and the machine is fine yet again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phibeta1914:
Anybody have the game files that come on the t mobile hd2? i made a mistake and deleted them off the card now everytime I start a game i ge the error message please insert the SD card where the files are located.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealStarkman:
OK, I searched and searched but I cant find anything. Does anyone know of a solution to or the cause to music not showing up in Mixzing or the default music player?

It was fine last night and now this morning it it gone. I have tried

1)Rebooting

2)Unmounting/Mounting SD Card

3)Renaming music directory then telling mixzing to use that directory

4)Removing Album art cache from mixzing

5)Using SdCARD widget.

Noting works. The music is there in the directories. Worked Ok last night and for weeks after upgrading to SkyRaider 2.5.2/Hydra uvss

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
Mixzing sucks. Get Music Mod and you'll be much happier.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihtfp69:
True, but it still does not play music from our internal storage. You either have to use HTC Music or Mixzing. I wonder if the developer would consider making a change.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealStarkman:
Well, I took the drastic touch of copying all the files from the SDCArd and then formatting the SDCard. I copied all the things back and that still did not work. So I figured the DB had to be on the SDCard somewhere.

I did not feel like looking for it so I just copied the music folder and left the rest on the PC. That worked! I have music again. I don't know what settings I left on the SCCard but since I don't install things on it anyway it should be OK. And after this experience I will probably leave the App2SD functionality of Froyo unused. Well at least until the real OTA comes out and it gets the rooted version.

BTW I like mixzing better I think than MusicMod. But hey thanks for the heads up about it.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirokosan:
I've been trying to make ADW themes but I've hit a wall. I can't get the proper icon names for apps like battle.net authenticator, hancent, wireless tether and things like that. (market downloadable apps)

They usually look like this:

com_android_contacts_dialtactscontactsentryactivity.png (contacts)

com_android_camera_camera.png (camera)

Can anyone help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallendusk:
Connect to your computer and adb logcat, then launch apps. It'll have the activity name as the apps launch like:

I/ActivityManager( 343): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.blizzard.bma/.SplashActivity bnds=[5,586][115,704] }

for bma it would be com_blizzard_bma_splashactivity.png
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirokosan:
Thanks man. I'll post them up as soon as I'm done. I'm cool like that. I'm making a wow one right now. I'll take requests, but these take time so no rushing :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirokosan:
Should have tested them out first. Made like 7 but i dont have my usb cable so i'm using better terminal for logcat. It's a pain!. So yeah, none of them worked. Not even the one you did for the mobile authenticator :<
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevuth:
Had a perfectly working phone up until 8 hours ago. Driving home from the bar and my phone randomly reboots. Wouldn't turn on till I removed the battery and tried again. In a 30 minute drive this happened 3 times.

@ Home phone rebooted another 3 times before I just left it plugged into the charger, didn't touch it or try to change anything.

Everything went well through the morning, till I decided to perform a nandroid backup, and wipe my SD card. Rebooted to recovery and now my phone couldn't detect an installed SD.

Powered down the phone. Inserted a different card thinking the previous one was corrupt or something. Still not detecting it.

Currently, phone does not detect any SD cards, Home button does not work, unable to connect to a wireless network (airplane mode will not turn off), no market app installed, lockscreen is not showing (just goes straight to home screen).

I was running SuperE 1.0.3 before, and settings still shows the same.

Comments? Suggestions? Criticism?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevuth:
Awesome. 65 views and nothing. Android is a great OS for a phone, but their support group sucks.

At least apple has the courtesy to say "hey, you're screwed unless you wanna pay $400 for a new phone."
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Hey your screwed unless you wanna pay 400 for a new phone;) did you try to put your sd card into the computer and format to fat 32 yet? does your computer see your sd card for starters?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Does this look like GOOGLE or HTC to you?

Sorry no. Nobody's paying anyone here to help you fix your failures.

If you have a warranty issue, please contact HTC first (they are the ones responsible for your phone), GOOGLE second (though I doubt this is an OS issue -- more likely a hardware or user issue).

If you want community help, ASK NICELY. Nobody's going to go out of their way to help out a DOUCHEBAG with an overinflated sense of entitlement.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevuth:
Computer can read my sd card, no problem. It won't, however, recognize my G1 when its plugged in via usb. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the correct drivers with no effect.

I know its not the usb ports, I used them to format the sd cards with an adapter, and its not my usb cable, had a friend test them with his G1.

After going in through settings and doing a Factory Reset, I've been able to connect to my network, but that's the only improvement.

On the plus side, my phone has never run faster.

Thanks for judging me as a person based on a thread. You seem like a douchebag as well, and pretty full of yourself. We should be buds.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
So after getting a virus or something on my Windows drive and it not wanting to activate even after having my notebook for 3 years I am migrating over to Ubuntu. I have the android sdk setup and also edited my .bashrc file. Whenever I type adb devices it says

chris@ubuntu:~$ adb devices
???????????? no permissions

chris@ubuntu:~$ adb shell
error: insufficient permissions for device

What do I do to get it to work?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
Try sudo adb devices. You're not running adb as root
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Indeed. You must use sudo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
chris@ubuntu:~$ sudo adb devices
sudo: adb: command not found

This is what I get.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
ah, sorry, try sudo ./adb devices
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russss:
Try

cd ~/[COLOR="Sienna"]android_sdk_path[/COLOR]/tools/
su
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb remount
exit

or you can create a text file with:

#!/bin/bash
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb remount

and save it as remount.sh, or whatever you want, and place it in your tools folder then from the terminal cd to your tools folder and

sudo ./remount.sh

and it should work for you after that. That is what I do whenever I connect my hero
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
I'm still having some problems. I can type in kill server, start server, remount and it will work that way. But I can not get the script to work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russss:
I don't know why it isn't working. I attached the script i'm using (rename to remount.sh).

I just do

cd ~/android/tools/

sudo ./remount.sh

and it works, I don't know why it wouldn't unless the file properties are wrong(ownership,executable) I just started using linux about a month ago (linux mint)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
I just installed Ubuntu last week, But I was having problems with my hard drive so I switched it out and loaded Windows and Ubuntu 10.04. I now I have to reload everything I had and I think it might have to do with permssions for the file, but I'm not sure. I am going to try that and also try the script again. Thanks for helping me get it to work at least one way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codejunkie78:
i think i may be able to help you with this one

first you need to add the location of the sdk folder to your .bashrc file

open a terminal an enter

gedit /home/yourusername/.bashrc

replace yourusername with the one you use for ubuntu when the file opens up scroll all the way to the bottom and add this line to the bottom

export PATH=$PATH:/home/xx/Desktop/android-sdk-linux_86/tools

replace /home/xx/Destop/ with your username and where you have the sdk folder stored so for example, if you have it in your home folder and your user name in ubuntu is jo the string wold be

export PATH=$PATH:/home/jo/android-sdk-linux_86/tools

save the file, next to get adb to recognize your phone you need to create a udev rules file so open a terminal and enter

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

this will open up a blank text file copy and paste this in it

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

save the file and reboot now when you are back to the desktop you should be able to access your phone through adb.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
To edit a kernel you will need to get the boot.img either from your phone or from a nandroid.

THIS will give you everything

No idea mate - does the wallpaper setter scale down the pictures to some kind of jpeg?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacCarron:
Mmmh that's weird..perhaps android compresses the image chosen as wallpaper pretty much like win7 does? BTW in my humble opinion you should share that wallpaper wether we get the hang of this or not :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtXT:
Hahaha, i just made the wallpaper. Even i view it on gallery, still the gradient is linear. Am a graphic artist that is why it is very easy for me to notice this.

Ok, will upload the original wallpaper later on my pc, so you can test it on your desires. Thanks guys
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raitei:
download wallpaper set and save and use it to set it, it's worked on other images i've had this issue with
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtXT:
So do you think, this type of rendering is normal? It's like we're using 65k color format.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZigmaDK:
He is telling you to download a program called "Wallpaper set and save".

I have used it too and for some reason, it seems to make the wallpaper look better.

You should try it out.

And share the wallpapers so that we can see if ours do the same. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtXT:
hahaha, my mistake, ok, let try that, thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtXT:
WOW! that really did the job, thanks a lot. so the "gallery" of htc sucks i guess, or the graphic rendering of either Eclair or Froyo sucks, co'z as i still browse on the gallery, the linear gradient of the image still exist.
[Desire General] mnaeh:
I've lost track a little bit about all new stuff and questions about Froyo so if this was already mentioned please ignore it, and it maybe deserves to go to some other thread but i felt it's really important.

I read people complained about issue where froyo now plays embeded youtube video in browser which is rather slow. And it still plays it this new way if you press full-screen button, but... it only does this if you are in portrait mode. If you are in LANDSCAPE mode and you press full-screen it lets you choose weather you want to play it using browser or youtube app, like it worked on 2.1. For me this is a great news. If you already knew it sorry for spam.

EDIT: You might need to hit play before clicking on full screen. Just tested...

Cult pejoratively refers to a group whose beliefs or practices could be, reasonably or unreasonably, considered strange.

we encourage individualism

Android helps us meet our needs

we encourage independent critical thinking

we encourage technical integration

like the clergy, it's not right for the devs to take sexual advantage of their followers

ok...so we're not always respectful to critics and non-searching fools

we do cherish our devs

we do encourage folks to search before asking a question

/me gets up onto his soap box..

[ahem] [cough]

Tripod is a word generally used to refer to a three-legged object, generally one used as a platform of some sort, and comes from the Greek tripous, meaning "three feet".

You have made a 'ghetto' base or 'ghetto' dock.

If you used any duct tape at all, that will also change your device from 'ghetto' to 'redneck' dock.

Now that you have be schooled.. I am gonna finish my beer and wipe the laughter tears outta my eyes. Good show man.. ;)

Just as a tip though, on the serious, I was at Walmart and picked up a black plastic business card holder, a little bit of single sided craft felt and cut the felt to fit inside the card holder and made a nice looking base/dock. ;)
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
I actually ran out of duct tape I am going to buy some tomorrow.
