[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Obviously the OP has had enormous difficulty modding his phone. I extend my sympathies, and if there's anything I can do to help down the road, I will certainly try.

However, many if not most of us have had no trouble at all. In my case, I successfully rooted, installed clockworkrecovery, backed up, and flashed the Mixup kernel. No meaningful stumbles along the way, went smoothly.

So, blaming the forum seems rather misplaced. I don't know what's unique about kpkimmel's situation, but it's pretty clear that the problem lies there, not with the forum, information posted here, and the very helpful people assisting.
[Epic 4G General] mousiluck:
I'm sure the solution to the poblem would be an easy fix. As long as the the problem explained. The answer could be as simple as doing the 3-button sequence to get into cwm, or just wiping the phone to prep for flashing.
[Epic 4G General] iceman19631:
LMFAO!!!! You sho right...there is an easy solution to the problem and you wouldn't believe how freaking easy it is. Like I've said before, I've been doing the research and everything and nothing seem to work right. I have rooted my phone and have proven it so by doing the tests. But the damn thing would not go into Clockwork recovery no matter how many times I tried. Until last night on another website, the answer was plain and simple as big as day. When I did as instructed, lo and behold, it worked....I have Clockwork recovery. I can use the roms now. Gonna go post it in the 'Epic 4G Android Development.' Don't know why it hasn't been made know to those having this problem in the first place. Woulda save a bunch of time and headaches.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmtdan:
i just did a clockwork mod back up and its hanging at the htc evo 4g screen does this usually take awhile or did i screw something up

EDIT: okay i pulled my battery and the phones loading up now im not sure why it froze like that though :( any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgilmore86:
Mine did that as well. Works fine though. Remember when your rooted.. the devs put disclaimers on they're work for a reason. It's no longer stock so its not always 1000% perfect, not that stock is but u get my point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmtdan:
were you able to fix that or...? i just pulled my battery and when i went back into rom manager it told me my back up failed :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdpm:
I've just got a Desire on Orange, which I'm trying to debrand. I've made a goldcard, but when I try to install a stock RUU (with the phone connected in HTC sync mode etc.), the installer always quits just after the inital 'setup' progress bar.

I've tried 3 or 4 different RUUs, and they all quit at the same point. Has anyone else had this problem?

btw, I'm on winxp sp3 and have admin rights
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanted008:
I would advice you not to press sync mode on phone, just connect usb and then open and run RUU. Also are you using wwe version?

And details of which firmware you are on would be helpfull. And does any message pop up when it quits?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdpm:
Thanks for replying

I've tried to install the generic Froyo HTC 2.09 WWE RUU from [FAQ] HBOOT 0.83 / 0.92 / SLCD - rooting and recovery (can't post links yet, sorry)

and a couple of others, including Froyo HTC WWE 2.10 and HTC WWE 1.21/1.15

Every installer has the same problem. Plug in phone, run installer, the progress bar fills up and then it quits. No error message.

I tried updating drivers, as in this thread [Guide] Drivers & RRU Errors Solved in case it was anything like that, but it hasn't made a difference.

Phone details:

Firmware ver. 2.1-update1

Software num. 1.22.61.1

HBOOT 0.83, SLCD screen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Remember you need a gold card in the phone to install a non-Orange RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdpm:
Yep, done that. I haven't taken it out of the phone since I made it. Does the version of HTC sync I'm using make a difference?

I downloaded the version offered on the HTC website, instead of the one that came on the memory card. I've just installed the memory card one now, i'll try everything again using that, including remaking the goldcard.

what folder does a boot screen zip (not an animation) get placed in to work. tried it in data/local and no luck.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If it is the splash screen or boot screen (like the 3 little green droids) and not the animation, it will not be in a zip form nor be installed in the system/media folder. You will need to convert a pic to RGB565 form and flash it through the fastboot mode. Easiest way is to use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654042

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red96turbols:
Something went wrong during an ODIN revert to stock, and now when I plug in the phone to the computer or wall it shows the battery charge image for a few seconds, then it says the "Samsung Vibrant" splash and goes straight into recovery mode. I've tried holding down the volume keys, adb doesn't recognize the device. IDK wtf to do. Any help would be so appreciated I'll paypal the person a six pack that can help me fix this.

When it goes into recovery mode it says...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankao1992:
did you try holding down volume up/down, and just plugging it into your computer?( so you can get into download mode)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red96turbols:
So I just got off the phone with Tech Support, luckily I'm still under warranty and my recovery screen says "Android System Recovery" and not ClockworkMod Recovery. They went through the "Master Reset" and that didn't work, obviously, because I tried that. I also tried every other thread to get into download mode and Odin the original rom/kernel/recovery to no avail. They agreed to send me a new phone free of charge, added on the insurance and shipping is now free. Luckily my girlfriend didn't tell them what really went down haha. "Oh well he rooted his phone and then tried to un-root it and ended up turning it into a paper weight." So now I just sit and wait. Next time I'm not using any other outside write ups to try and reflash a recovery on the vibrant. After I get the OTA (if it ever comes) I'll root it again just to remove the bloatware like I did the first time. But with Clockwork you can't get the OTA, or so it said, so I'll just be patient and wait it out. To anyone else who is stuck in recovery and can't get it into download mode, or flashed the euro version, just call T-Mo tech support and say you downloaded an app and rebooted and voila stuck in recovery. On the downside, I have to wait 5-7 business days (not including weekends or holidays though) for my new one in the mail. So let this be a lesson learned to everyone, read read read and if all else fails, lie.

Its not as easy doing things on the Vibrant as it was with the good old Gangster 1 (G1).

Also, I only tried this because Rom Manager said I still had ClockworkMod Recovery instead of the stock recovery after I did the proper xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475, You don't need to flash the root update as the CSC, I guess there could be a non-root update.zip to use, but There was a guide I followed the first time that only used the PIT and PDA files, which put it back to stock but still had ClockworkMod Recovery on it. If it didn't, Rom Manager was lying to me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Rom manager doesnt replace samsungs recovery. There is an update.zip that is placed in your root that allows you to get to clockwork recovery by simply reinstalling packages in samsung recovery. Clockwork recovery may still be flashed, but if you remove or replace that update.zip, the only way otherwise to get to it would be through rom manager. Which obviously isnt an option for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red96turbols:
Dang. Because when I opened CW it said "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod Recover 4.x.x.x, last version: ClockworkMod Recovery x.x.x." So I guess CW wasn't even on there, so I bricked it for no reason. If I just removed the update.zip it would have just been fine? Because it kept saying "You can't receive the OTA with your current ROM, please contact ROM author." Which is why I decided to reflash to stock un-rooted rom. I had also had a 6 pack and 2 jager bombs so hahaha fsck it. I'm getting a new one and will read when I'm un-ability impaired. Thanks for the note though.... but I also renamed the update.zip to 2.1rootupdate.zip, would that matter to CW or not? Because it kept saying no matter how I reflashed that CWR was still on there...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goog1e Phone:
Did you try to flash 2.2 by any chance? Easy way to fox your problem is just adb reboot. It will boot up your phone past the recovery screen, and then you can use odin to get back to stock.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
There is no updated rom available. That function of rom manager is currently unused by vibrant devs. It allows them to make updates to roms and streamline the process, but they simply move on to the next rom. Renaming the update.zip that is used to root to whatever it is is ok for cw recovery, but once you have clockwork recovery flashed since it doesnt replace samsung recovery. When something goes wrong you need its update.zip it puts in root to stay right where it is. By reinstalling packages in samsung recovery is the only way to get to clockwork recovery when you cant load up the phone. If that update.zip is gone or renamed, you're s.o.l.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red96turbols:
So if I had kept that update.zip file that CW put on, chances are I could have fixed it? Since I clicked the "Repartition" check box on Odin, would it have even mattered? I used the 512.pit file and the Phone file from the "Unroot" thread by Koush I believe. That worked wonderful, and then I did it a second time and I think something went wrong.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontcallmepete:
I dropped skyraider 3.0 onto my phone and now the phone wont take any other rom. I tried cm6, virtuous, and the leaked 2.2 stock rom and none of them get past the boot animation. After a few tries skyraider decided that it was going to nuke my rom manager which now force closes like a mother ****er. Every time I go to open it it instantly force closes.

I tried the guide to downgrade from the 2.2 ota to 2.1 but that **** didn't work, I assume because the process was made for an unrooted 2.2 stock rom. So, does anyone have any ideas how I can get this ****ing skyraider off of my phone or how I can get back to factory 2.2/2.1 so I can start over again?

inb4 nandroid backup, didn't back up because I loaded SR onto the phone once I rooted it so my nandroid backup is skyraider.

Sorry, I'll watch the vulgar language. Anyway, I finally got my phone to load the leaked 2.2ota but I still have root access and what have you but I can't get any other Rom to load. When I try to download and apply a Rom from Rom manager instead of booting into recovery it boots to a screen with a little android robot with a error triangle. If I tap the power button recovery comes up but it says that it failed to read update.zip. any ideas on how to revert to uprooted 2.1 so I can just start over to how to get one of these other roms working.l?

I tried it and it didn't work, everything went fine until I tried to flash mtd.img with the adb shell. When I jump into adb shell from my windows machine it comes back with $ user control rather than #, which isn't root access so it wouldn't let me flash the image. Which sucks because the phones rooted :/

So it looks like i'm back to square one, anyone know how I can unroot?
[HD2 General] Faruk88:
Hi all,

I made a rookie mistake and ordered a locked T-Mobile HD2 from ebay (wasn't paying attention).

I live in Canada, so unfortunately that rules out the option of trying to get an unlock code from T-Mobile. Can anybody guide me towards the cheapest option to getting this phone unlocked? I should be receiving it early next week... I can't believe I just blew almost $400 on a phone without noticing that it's locked :(

Thanks in advance,

Faruk
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Means you also won't get 3G on Rogers either...but I digress, http://www.htcsimunlock.com is where I got mine. 16USD and about 20 minutes later my Tmo Leo is unlocked. Easy to use, just insert the new SIM or hit up \Windows\simlock.exe and enter your code.
[HD2 General] Faruk88:
Hey thanks for the reply man! I was actually starting to get pretty worried, I did some searching beforehand and all I could find were people who were having trouble unlocking theirs!

And I'm actually on Wind Mobile (not Rogers), so the T-Mobile version (1700MHz 3G) was actually exactly what I was looking for.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Nice! Let me know how that works out, i've got a friend in Canada on Wind aswell who is super jealous of my HD2, and if it works as expected, then he might be getting a pretty sweet Christmas present....
[HD2 General] Rockjock007:
I would not be too quick in getting him it for Wind. They may not be around much longer.. time will tell..
[HD2 General] Faruk88:
Don't listen to Rockjock, I know him from another forum... His part- (or full?) time job is to scare people about Wind... He must be employed by Rogers.

Anyway, if Wind (new entrant) does lose against the incumbents, they will probably get bought out by Rogers. It's not like the network will vanish into thin air.

But anyway, that's totally off-topic. Go find another thread to troll, "Rockjock".
[HD2 General] Rockjock007:
I was just stating a fact. So please take off your wind cape and discuss it. The OP was asking about using a high end handset on Wind. All I said was perhaps they should wait to see if Wind stays afloat. You are right Wind could be bought up and the network would not go to waste but you failed to mention that all the equipment is owned by Orascom and as such they are simply permitted to take back all the roof top units. The spectrum debt is what Rogers could buy from Orascom. Speaking of which any validity to the comment that calls are being routed to Egypt for customer service issues? Seems that Orascom is taking a more active role..

Also i must say the " he must work for rogers " line is getting a tad tired.

sorry for the hijack but I think it was needed to be explained. if not Mods pls delete.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I agree. Even if they end up filing for Bankruptcy (is that a business option in Canada?), their hardware and towers will remain, meaning that someone will own them and use them rather than tear them down.

We've seen a lot of wireless companies come and go down in the States and I have yet to speak to a single person who lost their service as a result. My friend in Arkansas has actually been shunted around by the AT&T->Cingular->att circle several times and never lost service.
[HD2 General] Rockjock007:
Thats true, but thats only if the company that goes under owns the equipment they do not. Simply put Rogers could only buy the debt, as the equipment is owned by the only Investor. So once the equipment is taken back Wind could enjoy seamless coast to coast coverage on a 2g network.
[HD2 General] KOCTA:
Anyway, back to topic.

Yesterday I unlocked my T-Mobile HD2 at unlock-now.com. The phone is new one, IMEI starts from 35777. I took 10 minutes and 17.5 euros by Paypal.

I'm not linked to this service at all, just want to inform it's worked for me. Going to try htcsimunlock.com a bit later.
[HD2 General] Hagforce:
Uh, I have made the same mistake.

Did not realize that there was a difference until now :(

Does this mean that I will not get 3G, as I live in Europe?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Yes it does. You have to use the device meant for your region in order to get 3G with it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickfinger:
Hello All

Has anyone found a good data counter for the Galaxy. I use the Mobile AP tool a lot to share internet with my laptop. I used to have an MDA Diamond running Windows and my traffic per month was usually between 1 gig and 2 gig which was reported by i think Octrotalk or something, it was the default data counter that came with the phone.

My problem is that now i'm on Android i can't use that program so i've been using NetCounter which has good reviews but i don't believe the figures its reporting. I tried the Phone Usage app too but that didn't even report anything. In nearly a full month NetCounter says ive only used 141 mb which is way too low. I go on Youtube, I download apps and i surf all via the phone then i connect to my laptop 4 days a week and stay connected for around 9 hours. I have XDA and Facebook both on tab most of the time as well as visiting other sites and i play quite a lot of java games on Facebook so surely it should be higher than 141mb

Was the windows phone just downloading lots of extra rubbish?

or is NetCounter not reporting correctly?

Iv personally used 3g watchdog for some time and had a slight problem with the program resetting the counter before the end of the month/bill tried everything but it never kept counting till needed

currently using net counter from android market which never gave me any problems yet , running good and strong for a couple of months now no random resets, im not quite sure about sharing the 3g connection as i never did yet. i tried it at first when i got the phone and found out the connection was working a little faster than the 3.5g wireless modem i use for my laptop which only proved to me that the phone was as amazing as it is.

i recommend both as both give you detailed info with 3g , wifi usage but for tethering im not quite sure if its counted in those 2 programs

i guess u could make things easier and get a counter for ur pc/laptop and then simple set the tethered connection as a seperate one and at the end of the month add the phones counter with the laptop's one (( doing all this just to reduce the load on the phone and get an accurate measure for how much ur using from ur data plan))

LOL i recently found out from a techie at my cell provider ETISALAT that the unlimited*** 3.5g data package notice the 3 stars ***= a monthly limit of 10GB of both upload/download combined worth 135 dollers a month. They sure know how to suck us dry >_<
