bump for this old thread

i just got this problem today. my hd2 was running fine (on coredroid) until earlier today, out of no where i get a message saying that i have no more space in my internal memory (NAND) and i cannot see my contacts nor sms. funny thing is that i know it should have tons of free space because i install almost everything on my microSD.

Now that everytime i reboot the phone, i have to go through the initial setup wizard (like it was a brand new phone). apparently the phone cant save my setting due to no space. Because of that, my contacts and sms were wiped out. I really want to reformat or repartition NAND, but I need to figure out how to recover my contacts and SMS. I think it should be somewhere on NAND still. does anyone have an idea how to recover contacts and sms from NAND?

fyi: phone boots into android from nand just fine, so obviously the internal storage is still working. but after it finishes booting, it keeps saying that there's no more space in the internal memory.

I have Problem with my Rom-Memory. I got HD2 with miui rom and Mgdlr. My setting show Rom-Memory 165 MB total, 30 MB free. Ram is ok. Where are the other 200 MB Rom?

I uses hd2toolkit. Did i make some wrong change that i have now 2 partitions in my rom? It seem thast somewhere is 200 mb free rom-memory.

Greetings,

I'm also attempting to delete select apps.

I'm running on a rooted (Unrevoked 3.21 & Unrevoked-forever) stock ROM.

However, any attempt to delete an app while SU'd in Terminal-Emulator, returns

failed; read-only filesystem.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for all your time and consideration.

The way I deleted these apps was the following: I have clockwork recovery running. So I ran that. Then in the recovery screen, You select partition menu and mount the /system. Next I ran cmd and opened the adb shell. The command to remove app is "rm /system/app/ + name of app" if you need more info, let me know.

Hope that helps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake254:
Unfortunately I cracked the digitizer on my Desire and I'm not really willing to buy a digitizer and then fit it myself in case I do break the phone as obviously my tinkering will void my warranty. So instead I have chosen to get a replacement from Orange. That is £160 and then at least 6 months insurance coming in at £6 a month. For me, a college student, it is the only viable option :(

Anyway, I am rooted on OpenDesire. If I want my new handset to be in exactly the same state as my current Desire, do I just need to do a complete backup with Titanium Backup onto my microSD, root the new phone with OpenDesire then restore all settings and programs from the backup on my SD? Obviously some things won't be exactly the same such as custom icons but I can redo that myself.

Also, do you think I should restore the Orange rom etc and unroot the phone before returning it?

Thanks in advance, Jake.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:george:.:
Hi :)

Be sure you unrooted the phone before returning it, its always better. According to the backup, make a nandroid backup, then unroot, after getting the phone back repaired root again and restore from the nandroid backup you made. Everything should be exactly the same as it was when you made the backup :)

However,wait at least for one another person to support my thought :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dermeister20:
Hello!

I want to connect my hd2 via wifi with an cisco vpn network! So i have tried the following programs:

- anthavpn

- bluefire

- ncp client

but if i install these programs i can't find a wifi network! If i delete the programs there is no problem to find wifi network!

I think the problem is that the network adapter which is installed whith the program is wrong because without programs there is the network adapter "L2TP NDISWAN Miniport" used and with programs there is a own adapter!

Can anyone help me??

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatdrawn:
I'd like to start of saying I've read almost every thread regarding this and I understand that there's a good chance that my internal SD is permanently blown up I'd just like to establish some things here that may put me in a different boat.

Currently it's back on JPK for the time being and using ADB I can finally get it to recognize there is a device, but it says it's offline. What does this mean? Does this mean that it wasn't in debug mode when it crashed? Or something else? At this point does this help me at all. At one point I did get internal and external drives to show up in my computer, but I couldn't acess them. As if they weren't mounted. Actually, that's how it's behaving now.

Can anyone think of anything else for me to TRY at least? I don't want to give up just yet. I realize all signs point to bricked but I just want to try a few more things.

Any tips are appreciated.

Hi im running this rom

and i have recieved a notification for new software update (the one with better russian keyboard) and i tried downloading but it didnt work. Is it possible to do this (im rooted with unrevoked)? Also would i lose my root? i dont care if i do, im more interested in getting the new update and unrooting, thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
yes you would lose root.

you are aware that if you install it you may never be able to root your phone again? well at least until one of the devs here finds a way.

i'm sure that update will get rooted and added to the ROMs soon if they haven't been already.

but other than that if you don't care then you should be find installing it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
You shouldn't try to install OTA updates to rooted phones. It usually won't work.

If you want the new version you can either install an RUU with the official version and then root, or you can install a newer rooted stock ROM through recovery.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barthand:
I'm not so sure about that. I've looked into OTA update downloaded into sd-card and it contains:

- system updates (new files, patches and so on)

- recovery img

- hboot update

- radio image

So let's assume that I toogle verification process (turn it off). OTA update will install over rooted ROM. After this, I have new recovery (because OTA update contains it).

I can see possibility of bricking my phone, when following situation appears:

- OS doesn't start-up (fell into boot-loop, whatever)

- recovery is back to stock, so no possibility to restore from nandroid backups

What do you think about that? Can someone confirm this is safe/dangerous?

You know. It's been a really long time since I was on these forums. I used to come here before for winmo devices (5-6.1). Everyone was very helpful and understanding. What's with the accusatory tone? No intention of "lying" to you, just a misunderstanding on my part. I thought my request for the FlipFont apk was innocent enough, certainly not underhanded.

So I didn't uninstall FlipFont. Turns out the One Click Lag Fix causes custom fonts to not work. But the OCLF app includes a font installer. I thought Flipfont was broken, but it was the OCLF.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishead:
I've got most of the bugs figured out and have been able fix all but one. I get no reception and mean no reception not even a bar can't dial out or text blue circle with a line going through type of reception. This happens in bunch of places where everyone else gets something, even my old crappy chocolate spin got reception in my living room but not the captivate. I love this phone but if I can't use it I'm going to have to get something else.

List of things I've tried:

setting the network operator i manual and auto

setting preferred network type to CDMA only/ WCDMA only/ pretty much every setting for CDMA and it never keeps the setting and always reverts back to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

going into the service menu and settings CDMA there as well as the correct frequencies. (850/1900 for the TELUS network)

Tried all the factory roms as well as some custom ones.

I have watched the phone go from no signal to 3 bars and back to no signal 1 bar at time over a span of 20 seconds or so.

I really like the phone and would hate to give it up until I've tried everything, these problems might explain why the Rogers release of the captivate has been delayed so many times.

Right now my phone is sitting right next to my wifes milestone, i get nothing but a blue circle crossed out she get 3 bars. Is my phone just a dud?

I had the OCLF 2.0 lagfix installed for a while now... Today I decided to unroot my phone.... So I ran OCLF again. From bottom to top, I began reverting back to the previous unroot state. However, both the install and remove lagfix options was disabled (greyed out). It said no lagfix appeared to have been installed, even though it was. So I unrooted my phone. No issues but now, how do I know what file system is being used ? I want to go back to the official RFS filesystem, and not use EXT3. Also, I noticed that before rooting and lagfix, I had around 1.5 GB free space in my ROM. After lagfix, it was around 600 MB. It is the same now. Please advise... Thank you!

I'm not talking about internal sdcard memory, but about the 2GB ROM. OCLF reserved ~700MB of my ROM to apply the lagfix. After that, I was unable to uninstall it. What I want is to:

2. Recover lost memory

3. Revert to RFS filesystem from EXT3 (or whatever it is that OCLF uses..)
