Try turning on USB debugging mode?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
Yes its always on, always check marked
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
I feel like I did have a similar problem at one point, but I don't remember how I resolved it. :( Sorry.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
gee maybe you should have flashed the eng build as everyone was told to do when they rooted their slide. try a dozen different large and small SD cards, i don't really think that is what makes it work but others seem to disagree and maybe once you swap them out you'll get lucky. but first i would try flashing the eng build
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
Must your replies always, ALWAYS have some snarky bit about how the person asking the question screwed up?

Humans are prone to error. You have valuable insight but beating someone's ego up before you give it really offsets your kindness.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
They don't always have snarky bits, but when 90% of problems are caused by not following directions then it apparently needs to be retold, I help a lot and I gave ideas to try here. Odds are he can still flash the eng build and then get into clockwork, but not following directions causes issues like this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I see your point but, as I recall, the ENG build came after root had been put out there for a day or so. I'm also pretty sure it came after SlideMeRoot1.

Things like this, along with simple mistakes, can cause these errors. You are helpful but I just find the "hey, dummy" tone to be overkill.

Not everyone who screws up is out to **** up your day, ya know? I've been having my own ENG build problems because I made a mistake. It doesn't mean I don't know how to follow directions, it just means I made a mistake, the way every human on the planet does.

I apologize, as well, because my own real life smiley fun tone doesn't translate well to the forum. IE: you good kid.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
well first off.. i did follow directions... and it didn't work... and i've flashed multiple roms by just re-doing the ota.zip then the update.zip push, to get me into clockwork, until i flashed myfroyo5

which does not allow me to "charge only" which is why ADB doesn't allow to recognize my device in HBOOT/Recovery.

On the contra-ire i do know what i'm doing however a little bit of "knowledge" to point out maybe something that will fix an issue i have would be great.

Now i'm running myfroyo5, the device is seen by adb when the phones booted up, however upon reset to HBOOT/Recovery no devices are found. I've tried putting ENG build on my Sdcard, and HBOOT doesn't see it, also, i've tried pushing flash_image to /data/local, and mtd0.img to /data/local, and the files will not move.

That is part of my problem i'm assuming, i'll try another SD card to see if it will fix it, but i'm not sure its something that simple... but who knows, right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
Just use CR new root method for the ota update and then follow the steps to flash ENG build. wouldnt that work? cause its unneccessary for the device to be recognized in hboot in adb that way =\ just guesing
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
i would do all that too.... you know i think the issue is the copying the files over... none of them are actually moving where they need to go!...

And when i try to do it manually the folder says "read only file system" and when i try to push files it says "1188 KB/s <0 bytes in XXXX.000s>

so none of the image files are moving over to allow me to flash ENG build... i swapped different SD cards and now i can flash the ENG build, but i cant move the files to /data/local before i do that, so right now its pointless to flash it...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
do u have root in the shell script when u try to push the files over?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
yes i do, that's whats really weird... i do adb shell, and i get #

when i do it the cat way, it does what it needs to, yet when i go search for the files using linda file manager they're still not there...

i dont want to flash eng build and it not work...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
i mean u could always just unroot and start from square one
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
can't unroot if my device is not seen with adb in hboot / recovery
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suntar:
I had the same problem just about and used the following thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710056 <-- BIG THANKS to Beartard for taking the time to type this all out. It worked just fine. I picked it up from - Installing the Engineering ROM - I kept my old update.zip file on the root of my sd card, and I got everthing back to normal, and everything works like new. Hope this helps
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
Thanks for the idea, but flashing the ENG build is pointless unless i can push the flash_image, and mtd0.img to /data/local... which for some reason my phone will not allow me to do this part;

type "adb push flash_image /data/local" and hit enter.
2. Type "adb push mtd0.img /data/local" and hit enter.

I am on the shubcraft android on my HD2.

When I try to connect to my university WiFi over WPA2 enterprise (details below) it just does not connect sometimes. I will have to turn off the wifi ad forget the network and set it up all over again to make it work. Sometimes even it does not work.

Here are my network settings:

Using CA certificate and identity and password

any one else having the same problem?

[EVO 4G General] Mad06STi:
I've been lurking here for awhile and only recently have been paying close attention since getting an EVO. This is a general rant and obviously cant be applied to every person and Im not saying at all that the forum is not a good resource but....

This forum is by far THE worst i have seen with reposts and redundant questions. Its ridiculous... you get literally 10 threads on the first page with the same topic, and within a thread you get the same question being asked and answered literally 3 posts away from the last time. How is a forum that is supposed to be technical THIS bad with simple reading!?

Threads are basically useless past the first post because because its hundreds of pages of repeated questions after.

For god's sake people, READ. I dont care how excites you are about finding out something everyone else already knew, check to see if theres a thread already. And stop asking questions that have been answered a hundred times already.

/rant
[EVO 4G General] churchwin88:
I agree 100%!

I think when you first sign up there should be like a 4 day waiting period before you are allowed your first post. This way, either they will start reading and find the solution or leave and we won't have to worry about it.

EDIT: I know this doesn't apply to people already registered but most are people with low post counts who post repeated topics.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
That is a pretty good idea you just came up with there!
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Frankly this forum has turned to trash which is why most of the serious posters don't even bother with it.
[EVO 4G General] flyingwolf:
Then where do those serious posters post?
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
yeah there are waaay to many people who basically just want someone else to do everything for them, and dont want to actually search for themselves. frankly i think its US the people who know how to use a forum properly, that should NOT be paying attention to these people. i wish people would just not respond to all those lazy people who just want to be spoonfed on what to do. if you think our evo forum is bad lol imagine if we had an IPHONE forum LOL
[EVO 4G General] flyingwolf:
Thanks, now I am going to have nightmares.
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
yeah i mean i pretty much almost never go into the Q&A section, and general section because 90% of whats in there is a bunch "i dont know how to do this please tell me how" probably because those people never finished their freshman year in college and actually learned how to do proper research... but oh well, i mean the only forum i check is the development one, it seems to slowly be getting better and better. very slowly.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I agree with the OP, however, this is simply a side effect from the forum hitting the mainstream. At almost 3 million users, it is simply impossible not to get these kinds of people. The development forum is a lot better though since it's better curated.

I've learned to simply ignore it and move along. Trust me, it could be way worse. :)
[EVO 4G General] notown775:
how do i root my phone... I'm kidding of course

[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
I think I know how to clean up the redundant threads a little bit.

The forum administrator could change the input field for naming your new thread into a hidden Google search box!

So then people type their new topic into the box and WHAMMO suddenly there is >3,000,000 solutions right in their face before they even begin to start writing the body of the post.

The thread starter must then click on a minimum number of links from the googled solutions before they are allowed to actually post their question with a new thread!

Problem solved....
[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:
Unfortunately, the search in the XDA app sux.
[EVO 4G General] Alanmw86:
the problem is it's frustrating for everyone.

and also not to point fingers but there's only one way to really curb the problem.

More information available more easily.

Better more acccurate more updated Wiki or compilation of ALL the basics.

Also, for everyone that starts a thread you need to put in more details, Sometimes I'm amazed at how a developer can master putting everything for the phone together and then post a thread saying..... Here's my rom WEE clicky here, done.

DETAILS install, how to when where what, update and keep things updated.

most of the stuff I can navigate threw myself and thats fine but sometimes theres like 300 pages and your getting no where, if your the thread starter and you add something important to the conversation mid thread, edit your first post.

As far as people posting stupid VERY simple repetitive questions, just try and search it first please, ugh.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I agree with the xda app search sucks.. i get low data speed here in wisconsin usually 30kb/s or under so dont use the internet for the site.. the search should be able to sure certain forums that would help alot of people out who do actually use the search but hard finding it with the app search.. :(

sent from my Evo
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Also alot of people dont word the topic right or even have what they are asking about.. like today someone put... help!. Had good info on radios but someone thats looking up the same thing wont run into it.

sent from my Evo
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
Now that I think about it, the hardest thing to do is run through a 200 page topic and actually pull useful information out of it. An example:

The first 500 replys are:

First!

downloading...

Will DL when I get home...

Downloading now

ect, ect for 500 pages

Then you finally get to the meat of the topic when you no longer see "downloading now" and you start to see "my 4gee's no workie" for another 150 pages only to realize that the answer to all of those questions was in the OP that nobody read!

This cycle goes on and on and it's nearly impossible to gather intelligence from chaos like that.
[EVO 4G General] echoside:
this is probably the 10th topic about this....just sayin
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
In your third paragraph, you repeated yourself by saying "because" twice. Practice what you preach. If you think you can do it better, go start your own forum.

I'm just bs'ing/being a smartass. You are okay to have your opinion. I can understand when a person gets in a mood and needs to rant to vent some frustrations. You may also have some valid points.

My parting thought:

It can be said in many different ways. Instead of complaining about something you don't agree with or like, might I make a suggestion to volunteer yourself to make things better. Trying to focus on solutions instead of problems.

Don't get me wrong. I'm no saint. Some people really irritate the crap out of me too, plus, I know I'm not mr personality either.

The mods have their hands full (I'm sure that's an understatement). If you can do your good deed for the day and help out a newb, then you are giving back.

:end of rant:
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
This forum desperately needs more moderation. I messaged toast over a month ago with this suggestion and offered my help as I have moderated other forums. He never even bothered to respond.

For a tech forum,moderation is the difference between good and lousy. Self policing can only go so far.

As for the search, there is no problem with it. VB is the most popular forum software for a reason. It works very well. Pro tip: 99% of your searches should be title only.
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
The big problem is when people get their EVO, they realize their battery lasts 20 minutes out of the box. They then get on google and try to find out how to increase their battery life. They find an article on some douchebag blog talking about rooting their phone. These people then google rooting their phone and all signs point to XDA. Sometimes they know a guy or have a friend of a friend who told them to "root" their phone, skipping the first step.

This is exactly why there are 100 repeated questions/threads. Everyone is directed to this website from various other websites. So you will get people who want instant answers and don't want to wade through tons of replies/text.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Yes it does. Needs a sub-forum advanced search............. PLEASE. Oh, and a search within threads.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Why not just use the browser? I don't understand why people use these dedicated forum apps that don't actually work as well.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
As was stated earlier, some people have slow data speeds where they live. The actual forum website takes forever to load if you have a slow connection.
[EVO 4G General] weezer562:

[XPERIA X2 General] daylon:
OK. I'll try to send mail to report all the bugs......Subject: SE SUCKS.
[XPERIA X2 General] derailed001:
Pretty sure it was bc SE closed down the RTP, NC branch which is where the project was being finished. I'm assuming when they transferred the project to Redwood Shores that it got put on the backburner since the x10 was so close to release. Besides, when your a SW guy and hear that your going to lose your job, I'm sure you would have more important things to do rather than fix the bugs in your project when your just going to be out of a job no matter how well the phone works.
[XPERIA X2 General] emuneee:
I was a software engineer who was laid off in the first round of layoffs. I was at the RTP site. I can tell you the only thing we worked on were feature phones...c905...w760...etc. This is why it was so easy for them to transfer all that work to China and layoff people. The XPERIA work was done in California and Sweden...some of the xperia verification was done for a limited time in RTP after the first round of layoffs, but I guess it was all transferred to California when the site finally closed.

Unluckily in my country the class actiopn concept is too young ad hard to pursue.
[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
sorry my ignorance but what is class action concept? I had googled a bit but i didnt get an understandable answer what is it.
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
I mean that in some states, the class action (a collective lawsuit) is a well known way to protect the consumer's rights.

Here in (Italy) this practice was unknown until few years ago, and even now the law is still too biased in favor of the big companies.

In short doing a collective lawsuit here is still (at least) impractical.

My English is poor but I hope, you can understand what I mean.

Subject: Xperia X2 update

Dear Support Team,

I would like to know if there is any plan for future update after MR2, It is unfortunate that Xperia X2 has become an abomination with a quasi working Slide View and a new 6.5.3 Windows system. It would be more comforting to know if SE is going try to merge these two systems into a better one

Thank you for your time

William

[XPERIA X2 General] damonous:
Sign-up for the Service Panel on X2

I just received an email from SE inviting me to take a survey. It was a fairly lengthy survey, including how I use the phone, what features are important to me, and what my impressions were. Toward the end, it offered me a free-form section to "speak directly to the manufacturer" (400 words or less), as well as an opportunity to give them my phone number for any future questions they might have of me.

Apparently, this survey was a by-product of having signed-up for the Service Panel on the X2. So, for all those frustrated, I highly recommend signing-up on the Service Panel. I don't know how much they will take my responses to heart, or if I'll ever get called. However, (I think) the good news is that this might indicate that they're not "done" with the phone just yet (or possibly not even with Windows Mobile, in general).;)

In any case, it's probably a better method of reaching them, then dropping a s-load of f-bombs on them.:D

Since owning the phone my #1 complaint would be the lack of internal memory space compared to the X1, and that the bluetooth/Voice Command compatibility is not as good as the X1. However, overall I am continually amazed at the hate thrown toward the X2's way. From a hardware perspective, the phone puts HTC to shame. It's significantly lighter, more-pocketable, the keyboard is better, the screen more readable and accessible. ... just better, better, better. For all the complaints about performance, I notice a perceptible improvement in game performance on the X2 vs the X1 (things as simple as PacMan, or as intensive as the PS1 emu).

I agree with everyone that 1 more firmware update would be appreciated (significant improvements to Slideview and bluetooth support in particular; reduction of 'bloat', if possible). There are weird circumstances (particularly with the CNN panel, if left running) where the phone will unexpectedly 'crash'. But, to me, at only the 2nd firmware update, this phone's software far exceeds the capability of the X1 at the same point-in-time of the lifecycle.

The only thing that made the X1 a truly solid & flexible phone were the hacked ROM's (particularly, gtrab's latest which --ironically-- was based off of the 1st-gen X2 firmware).
