This method just saved my butt!!!

I have never had trouble getting into recovery or download mode until today when I did a dumb thing. The phone would lock at the ATT screen when trying to power on and if the phone was off and I plugged it in to charge it would freeze and the circle logo that comes up before the green charging battery does.

Every method of getting into download or recovery failed up till now.

Thanks Zilch!!!

Hey guys gonna move this to Q&A.
[Captivate General] loserskater:
I had this problem a few days ago after updating to 2.2. I tried every single button/usb/battery combo and nothing worked. FORTUNATELY I was within 30 days of purchasing it (I guess there's a silver lining when diving right into "hacking"), and I brought it to the store with the box and receipt and just told them it gave me an error when turning it on (played dumb) and they swapped it out without even testing. If you're over the 30 days then I think you're pretty much SOL... gotta pay for a replacement.
[Captivate General] alabamaroping:
bricked

I declared it to be bricked and took it back to the store. I have only had it 2 weeks, so I basically pulled the same move of playing dumb and they gave me another one without any problem.

I'm wanting to try to see if I can put it in recovery mode and/or download mode with the buttons without even attaching it to anything, but now I'm paranoid about bricking it.
[Captivate General] lkakarotto:
Buddy, we need you to remember :( I'm in the exact position, no combo works and I bricked it after trying to load 2.2 :(
[Captivate General] Dino.:
Going into recovery or download will not brick it, its only everything after that point that might get you bricked.

Dont mean to be an ass but what in the world is with the 8 different types of mdeejay builds. I honestly think they are cluttering up the forums and just causing confusion for me at least. When I looked through the different types they all seemed to be around the same stage of development. Can all of these get consolidated with better explanations?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgtoys:
I think the better topic for this thread would have been 'What are some of the primary differences people are seeing between the different builds mdeejay is working on'. Let's not bash the fact that mdeejay is doing something pretty un precedented on any device, developing 5 builds simultaneously!

They are each based on different roms and most have the same things functioning/not functioning (ie. gsensor yes, camera no) but I'll admit I was a little overwhelmed shuffling through the many pages on each thread. I really want to try one of his builds because I've read a lot of great things about them but I can't decide which one to use :p . I don't like switching back and forth too much because I need a stable build day to day and don't have much time to do a lot of trial and error, so I depend on helpful xda'ers and their reviews.

So, OP, maybe change the tone of your post to poll the pros/cons of each build for those that have been able to try several of them out.

Thanks!

WTF!

:mad: OMG shut your FACE I hate to add to this stupid thread but OP if you read anything other than just looking at the thread that says mdeejay you would know one is evo one is desire hd one is z one is lexicon they are all different builds so shut up and enjoy! Sorry but your question is stupid LOOK and you will see the difference. MDEEJAY keep rolling them out i cant get enough we will find a PERFECT stable build with everything working but we need to work together! I personally like the desire hd builds and the evo they seem to be smoother.

An ass! That's exactly what you are!! Mdeejay is doing all of this without even a donate link. I have certainly tested all his builds and currently have 2 running. So u may not, but most find his builds and the options they offer useful. So please STFU if you are not going to contribute anything useful to the forum.

instead of being a ****, read the posts.

they are each based off of different HTC devices. with slightly different versions of their ROM.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anap40:
The OP has a point - Mdeejay's builds are confusing with so many of them and all of them offering the exact same functions. It would be nice to see a spreadsheet or something that higlights what the differences are.

On the other hand Mdeejay does put alot of time into his builds and updates them far more often than any other chef. I think if the OP had just used a nicer tone his post would not have been out of line at all.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to remove the samsung bluetooth stack and replace it with the stock bluetooth stack from AOSP 2.1??

I'd love to be able to use a wii-mote as a bluetooth game controller, but it wont work with galaxy S phones because Samsung put their own bluetooth stack in there and the wii-mote app from the market is not compatible.

A while back I emailed the app developer and he said there was no way to get it to work because of the stack that Samsung used. It must be proprietary.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xplanowestx:
So i've recently been looking into QualComms new Augmented Reality SDK and was wondering if there would be a possibility to convert it for use in multiple non-qual comm phones. I've installed their SDK and successfully got the AR working on my friends Nexus One and have to say it is a very nice AR. It has depth perception as well as the ability to actually rotate around the AR object and it show the multiple dimensions of it. I would love to get this working on a multiple phone platform rather then have it limited to phones with a qual comm processor. The problem i see is that a lot of what happens is it makes a lot of Qual Comm native api calls. I'm not sure exactly how we would convert it but if anyone has any ideas, Throw them out there!

BTW, i'm not a very savvy when it comes to Android / Java programming, however I am making my way through it :). I do program in C/C++/C# which are very similar to Java.

Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zirowe:
Hi, I've got a big problem: I've just received my desire back from the shop (the power button was broken, it hs been replaced, but they didn't updated the fw or changed anything else), I've got an original 2.1 fw on the phone, and I wanted to root it (before taking it to the shop it was rooted, then I unrooted it, because I still had warranty on it), so I've runned the unrevoked 3.21.

It started, the phone rebooted, then the program said: flashing recovery, and the phone turned to the white background htc boot screen. It was like tath for 10 minutes, with no changes, than the unrevoked program stoped.

No change on the phone, I've taken off, then put back the battery and restarted the phone, but it was stucked in the boot screen.

I can go into bootloader mode, and I was able to reflash the original fw (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4 .06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed), wich was successfully flashed on the phone, but there is no change, phone stuck at the boot logo.

What can I do?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zirowe:
It hasn't rebooted..

I've run unrevoked several times before, and never had problems.

Now it was stuck for 10minutes at the htc logo for the first time, so there wasn't any "many reboot", and the unrevoked program on my pc just shut down itself after that, without completing the rooting process..

Now I've tried to flash several ofw-s, and I always succsefull, but the phone can't boot, still stuck at the htc logo.

I'm wondering, can I take it back to the htc service and say, that the original fe update bricked it and will they repair it under warranty? (there is no sign of the unrevoked process, because I've changed the ofw like 15times since then)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
I would try another RUU first. If you are getting into recovery you should be able to flash an RUU. That would update your hboot etc and as far as I know, should get you back up and running.

If your phone is debranded, remember you need a goldcard. If its unbranded then you should be good to go with just the RUU.

Edit: have you tried booting without Sim and SD card too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zirowe:
As I said, I tried booting with and without sim and sd card, the result was always the same.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weqo:
I've looked around on the forums and there doesn't seem to be much information on this. I apologize if there is and i just simply missed it.

My wimax_mtd output looks fine; the mac matches my mac on the back of the phone

a grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0 outputs the RSA certificate begin and end

however, when i turn 4g on, it says scanning...Connecting to Sprint.. then goes back to Scanning...

every once in a while, it will briefly display disconnected between scanning and connecting to sprint. I'm in san francisco and i know 4g isn't official, but my old phone was always able to connect.

Interestingly enough, I was able to get this phone to connect the day before. The steps i took are a little long; I'll try to condense it as i don't know what may or may not be relevant to getting the 4g working briefly yesterday; i haven't been able to get it working since.

1) new evo arrived in the mail; rooted with unrevoked using RA and made nandroid backup

2) flashed fresh

3) flashed updated radios, installed eng bootloader

4) eng bootloader caused a boot loop so i flashed fresh again w/o data wipe which fixed the problem

5) it was around this time that i noticed 4g wasnt working so i started working on fixing it

6) made a nandroid backup of the fresh rom because i had it just the way i liked it and didn't want to recustomize the phone all over again

7) performed nandroid restore of the original stock nandroid image i took immediately after rooting to see if 4g would work with that, however it put me in a boot loop

8) performed nandroid restore most recent fresh image, that got me out of the boot loop and for some reason 4g was magically working. oh yeah, just a note.. i don't actually live in a 4g area; i'm about 2 blocks away from where i can get coverage.

9) the next day i noticed that 4g wasn't working again. i had done nothing except reboot the phone and i could have possibly made a nandroid backup, but otherwise i didn't do a restore or touch anything else. i restored the stock image and then restored a recent nandroid like i did the other day, but this time, it didn't restore 4g.

is there any information out there about the 4g scanning loop and what could cause it? could it just be the network? maybe sprint/clear had 4g up to test and now they're restricting it only to internal testers or something? is there anyone else in sf downtown area who was able to get a 4g signal either yesterday or today?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcane50:

Buy WidgetLocker ;) It's like $1.50

You can add widgets to the lockscreen, and change sliders.

be an option under Spare Parts or CyanogenMod Settings.. Or something

that allows you to have Music-Control on the lockscreen.

[Fascinate General] Crashspeeder:
that depends on your operating system. Is it 64-bit or 32-bit? Assuming you're running windows (which is what those drivers were made for) then you can right click on "My Computer" and hit properties. It should tell you whether or not you're running 64-bit. If it doesn't mention anything about 64-bit then you're most likely on 32-bit.

How to partition the sd card without bootlodaer? :)

Sorry if this is a noob question.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zephyrix:
Use a MicroSD reader and a linux system?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zdzihu:
No need for card reader, just plug the phone and use parted
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wolfilein:
i will add some pictures if a have the time
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] devein:
if I understand this correctly, this script essentially creates link to sd card directory, where previously is a directory of apps.

nice trick, but without any failsafes.

I mean, if you remove sd card you are without /data/app/ directory at all!

there should be some failsafe...

method 1:

script at startup checking:

if there is a symbolic link to sdcard? (check attributes of /data/app/ )

if directory is a symbolic link and no data exists inside (for example specific directory/file is not existent) ->point the symbolic link to /data/app2/ directory.

to make it work,

/system/app2 directory should be created:

busybox cp -a /data/app /data/app2

instead of removing it in your script:

"rm -r /data/app "

also make some specified light flash on the phone, to warn user that old backup copy is used because of sd card malfunction (i've documented a way to do this in:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10#Leds_and_backglight )

for example pink led:

echo 15 > /sys/class/leds/ledc:rgb1:red/brightness
echo 2 > /sys/class/leds/ledc:rgb1:green/brightness
echo 3 > /sys/class/leds/ledc:rgb1:blue/brightness

method 2:

even better way would be that sd card partition is mounted on every start on system OVER old /data/app/.

this works always in linux - you can mount over non-empty directory without a problem :D

so, if the sd card is not accessible - dont mount sd card apps directory and like in method 1, flash the led or something, and old apps directory would work without doing anything more :)

to check:

- does mounting over non-empty directory works also in android?

- what is the way to add startup script init in the system?

(possibly executed from sd card - when no card is visible, the script would not execute, right :P )

- why there is a 1.4GB limit ? is this a ext2 limit on android ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wolfilein:
yes doun't normaly you don't remove your sdcard
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zdzihu:
1. Yes

2. exec your script from either /etc/mount_iso.sh or /system/drm/DxDrm/drm.sh
