[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emalf:
I bought my desire last week, besides no warranty as it is suppose to be sold here.:( Anyway, I am happy that I got a AMOLED one but when I get to the part flashing custom rom. It failed everytime when writing boot.img to the boot partition. Most rom give the following error message, where xxx is the line of the flash boot.img part in the update script.

Some rom can boot up and the other can not and stuck reboot loop. I then have some search in XDA and modaco and find out that might be a problem in the boot partition, the internal flash memory got bad block. After trying to flash the boot.img in command line and confirmed with the following output

While returning is not an option for me, it is just :( .

But I am not sure why I can use some rom and use RUU to flash it to stock. I am not confident with the custom rom as I am not sure why it work even when the boot.img is not flashed correctly. I stick to RUU for the moment, but lacking root really make it less fun with my desire. From the search in the forum I find some work arounds, like fastboot using boot.img in sdcard, flash boot.img in recovery(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731657). There are also people using custom mtd partition for their G1, don't know if that work for desire though(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874). Has anyone got any luck with these methods?

I am wondering why some rom could work, it seems most rom have the flash boot.img part at last. Also if the boot partition have bad blocks, why does the RUU can work too. I do notice that I am stuck with the HTC first boot screen for all the rom, Is that just that boot screen not write successfully made the boot.img work for those custom rom ?

Last, any suggestion, and any others got the same problem and have a solution ?

Best Regards,

Kelvin

HTC Desire - I have the same problem. Bad blocks? Solution?

Currently my Desire fails to install or boot any ROMs and I believe this is due bad blocks in boot partition preventing T-Mod rom installation using clockworkmod recovery.

I have throughly read and followed t-mod.org (full wipe of phone first, format of sd and other partions, including boot partiion etc) and the radio rom always flashes ok but installing any of the T-mod rom zips right near the end of the T-mod installation I get this:

Copying Boot Files...

Writing Boot..

E:Error finishing BOOT:

E:Failure at line XXX.

Understandably, different T-mod roms provide different XXX line numbers for the failure. I have googled this error and it seems reasonably common but I have found no solution. Some posters suggest the cause is due to bad blocks in the boot partition of some phones and suggest that a smaller boot.img be flashed in to get around the bad blocks.

Does anyone know how to do this or have any further ideas? Currently the phone is unserviceable (only boots to the clockworkmod recovery menu. My Nandroid restore fails and I can't return to use the RUU stock exe since it won't detect the phone etc etc.)

What to do? Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emalf:
Depends on what you want next. If you really need root, I suggest you try CM6 , because it has a smaller boot.img. It might give the same error, but in my case, CM6 can boot up.

If you are going back to RUU, then you have to check what is you LCD, SLCD or AMOLED. Both of them can use the H.boot downgrade (0.92 -> 0.80) method (in the dev forum tutorial) to return to 2.1 rom and then you can RUU flash the official rom. But you would be operating in the dark if you have SLCD, but there are post describe how to do that.

Hi Everyone,

can anybody code me a Mobile Internet on/off Widget for my LauncherPro ?

Can't find anyrhing in the market...

Greetings
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
APN droid

switch pro

that's just too, there are loads in the market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] m8tix:
Unfortunately most of them won't work for a reason ( I think it's a common problem of 2.2) - it's the typical behavior, tried extended controls and apn droid and neither of them are working correctly. Due to the renaming of the apn it looses for 2-3 sek the mobile connection and then it comes back again on sense and non-sense roms. The only data switch which is working for me is the one from the cm kernel/rom.
[Desire Themes and Apps] veryjiggy:
Agreed, most of the widgets out in the market don't work well. Also, if the mobile internet is on and these widgets just change the APN, won't the battery be consumed in 'looking' for the right internet connection?

The closest I got to a solution for this is not a widget, but a 2-step process. From LauncherPro, go to Add -> Shortcuts -> Activities -> Settings -> Wireless & Networks

This would add the Wireless and Networks widget to your homescreen. Every time you need to toggle your connection, press the widget which will take you to the Wireless & Network settings page, and from there, you can tick/untick mobile internet connection.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
I am going to ask fede of launcher pro if he can consider adding them as a launcher pro + widget.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNYBAD:
Hello to you all

I tried to search, no luck. (maybe just missed the solution if any)

I have problems with wifi.

I can connect to wifi network, (ip is set to device, I can see it in router statistic) but none of the programs that connect to internet.

opera, iexplorer, facebook...........qGPS... are not working. like no connection.

I am using Energy.XPERIA.23678.Sense2.5.Cookie.Aug18, and same happens on my other X1 with Energy.XPERIA.21903.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.09

I also tried other roms. on original it was working I flashed other roms and I have this problem. tried too many still the same problem.

I always erase all (tool29 or how its called) before flashing, always hard reset.

my radio is: 1.14.25.55

I tried to connect to different networks, still the same. even on my home network (that I know all configurations) its not working.

thank you for help and your time.

---------------

its definetly not the router issue, tried restart all things. I can manage my router (I can see the device connected in router table), I tried to set wifi on X1 to performance also other way to quality(or how its called). no luck. but its not router issue. I tried it with open router (no security at all- diferent devicess can connect.), also tried to set different wifi standards no luck.

I have the same problem on 2 phones both are X1. tried different roms. still the same. my other HTCkaiser can connect no problem.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waqaskhan:
I had the same issue, my solution was to change the settings by taking firewall off router through your pc and make it a open network till you connect wifi from your phone to the router then once thats done and you have tested the internet then you can switch back on the firewall settings and your good to go.

Don't mean to interrupt, Change the router performance (Router is the WiFi not the phone X1) different router (WiFi device that shares internet) means different setup.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilwilwel:
Uhm the problem you experiencing is not related to the HD2

You need to edit you internet router configuration of your internet connection (at home).

Some were there is a setting called Mac Client filtering. If your Mac adres of the wifi adapter of your HD2 isnt showing in the list and having the status "accepted" you can make netwerk connection but the router is blocking your internet connection.

Adjusting the Mac list of your internet router will fix this.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
So I've been stalking phone case sites looking for accessories that will be able to keep our precious Epic's safe! Seidio just sent me a email earlier today and have been adding things to the EPIC 4G section!

Seidio Epic 4g Accessories

The Innocase Surface II for Epic 4G is 29.99 on preorder shipping on the 26th!

From what I see, the Innocase will be more or less a snap case on the Epic because of the sliding keyboard.

I was pretty happy with the Innocase I purchased for my nexus and considering the "Black plastic snap case" that is launching with the Epic from Sprint is also $29.99, the Seidio one is probably better quality.
[Epic 4G Accessories] rawsoup:
Nice, seido always makes quality cases... Let's see how the one from sprint compares. Also i hope seido makes an extended battery for the epic, those are great.
[Epic 4G Accessories] drizek:
Since the entire back is replaceable, can't we just buy replacement backs for it?

I thout the vibrant ships with two backs already.

Anyway, my pre was soft touch and I never got scratches on the back. I really don't think s case is necessary. We'll see whn the phone comes out. Sprint does 25% off accessories btw.
[Epic 4G Accessories] csolarz31:
Seidio cases are gorgious...
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
I don't take chances with phones and rather have some form of protection on them at all times.

I was deciding between a full body skin, or a Seidio Innocase and eventually decided to get a skin for the screen, and the Seidio innocase for the Epic.

I know Sprint sells the accessories for cheaper, but the cases they have for the Epic are cheap looking. BodyGlove is bulky and not formed well. And the other case they have is a shiny clear plastic case with makes your phone look like a cheap metro phone!

The Seidio Innocase's are a really nice matte finish and are very thin. I'll post some pictures of the product once it comes in!
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Just to update, Seidio has both BLACK and AMETHYST colored Innocases in stock and SHIPPING! :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] rawsoup:
do you have any problem with dust accumulating on the case? cause i had problems with a htc case i got for my hero.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Any type of case will eventually gather dust under it from usage/putting it in your pocket.

Or do you mean on the SURFACE of the case? The Innocase is a matte finish plastic case. I never had dust on the outside of the case but it would gather on the inside corners of the case. This is easily fixed by taking the case off every once in awhile and dusting it. :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] rawsoup:
yeah cause my current's phone's case gets dust on the surface... even when you have it in your pants for five minutes.... i decided to go caseless after that
[Epic 4G Accessories] redandblack1287:
I would go pantless before my phone went caseless

Not really

Anyways, a word of advice on seidio cases: hopefully they have learned their lesson, but the Innocases that initially went out for the Evo actually damaged the phone and left permanent marks on the corners. Seidio corrected this somewhat quickly, but if you think your case doesn't fit right, DON'T USE IT. Wait to see what happens to other people first >.>
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Yes, I'm was a bit wary of pre-ordering the case for the Epic since it hasn't even come out yet.

I remember that when they first released cases for the Nexus One, after about 2 weeks they updated the design and changed it a bit.

I'm gonna post a bunch of pictures once I receive the Seidio case, which should be around the time I get my Epic! :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] rawsoup:
tomorrow? but seriously i hope that seido makes extended batteries, especially the 1750 mA one. it may be a small difference but it helps
[Epic 4G Accessories] wto605:
Sprint case is atually decent... cheaper

Sprint's case for the Epic is actually decent... nothing near as crappy as the moment. The even better news... it's $20 (and if you're premier, then it's 25% off).

My one complaint is that the back has some sort of weird checker textured rubber surface that looks like it's supposed to be no-slip but really isn't that much better than the rubberized plastic... not a huge deal but it does add a bit more thickness than I'd imagine a nice Seidio would.
[Epic 4G Accessories] remedy22:
I tried that case from sprint that you are referring to and it felt like the tabs that held the front bezel on were unnecessarily large and would put pressure on the sliding mechanism over time.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Yes, this is how i feel with the Seidio Innocase. Posting a review in a second.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
​

Review:

Upon getting the case, it was pretty much what I was expecting it to be. A plastic snap on case. The texture of the case is extremely pleasant, soft and grippy but still very sturdy feeling. Similar to the "Rubberized plastic" cases off ebay but feels much better quality.

Unlike other Innocase Surfaces, where there is a velvet felt lining on the back cover to protect the back from scratches, there is NO lining.

The case fully covers the camera and protrudes a bit out, so the camera DOES NOT touch the surface when placed down. Also, the case around the screen has a lip, so when placed screen down it won't touch the surface either.

The case as 4 main tabs on each end that snaps on to the phone. The tabs snap on securely on the phone, BUT the two tabs on the top of the screen rub against the bottom silver bezel of the phone.

The tabs are VERY THIN, but still not thin enough to not affect the sliding mechanism. When sliding open/close the keyboard it snags a bit and feels a bit less *springy* as the Epic normally is.

This might not be a problem for everyone, but I'm already EXTREMELY nervous about loosening the sliding keyboard. Feeling it snag everytime i close the keyboard is too much for me.

This case is very nice quality, but I'm not sure if I will be keeping it or returning it to seidio. I am contemplating sanding the tabs down a bit so they don't touch the bottom keyboard when closing.
[Epic 4G Accessories] remedy22:
I have been using the best buy's rebranded version of the innocase surface for the past few days. I had the same concerns as you about the case causing damage to the sliding mechanism.

As a temporary solution, I removed the phone's back cover and simply snapped the case on normally. When I slide out the keyboard now the mechanism feels just like it does without a case on at all.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Thanks for the input!

How much was the BestBuy version?

And, I tried the case without the back cover on, and while the slider feels a bit more smooth, the phone wiggles in the back cover, and i still feel like its rubbing on the bottom keyboard.

I have already emailed Seidio about this, and most likely will be returning it and waiting for a different case. I was looking at the tabs, and if you were to file them down any thinner, they would probably break very easy.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ImSoHungry:
I too purchased the best buy version (which is made by seidio,just rebranded platinum plus), reason over the seidio version is that it was $5 more and came with a clip. Ill try the backless mod to see but I havnt noticed much rubbing on mine.

FWIW, id rather have a little scuff on the inner bezel than to drop it and scratch the sh!t out of it, or normal wear and tear scratches from sliding it in and out of my pocket (rough military material)

UPDATEA: I took the case off and realized it does hinder the slide a litte, now I must decide between butter smooth open and close, or full body protection...and I wonder if it will loosen the slider over time?
[Epic 4G Accessories] rawsoup:
they are now developing new colors, is what i was told in an email from seidio

I'm running LauncherPro which means from the off, I can't use HTC widgets. I installed MusicMod v1.6 to improve the stock Android music widget. Also, I'm not rooted so that limits the options somewhat.
