[Droid X General] SysAdmNj:
Ok so this morning my alarm wakes me up and I noticed I had to unlock my phone to make it snooze, something didnt seem right as my alarm app usually comes up to the front and I can snooze without unlocking my screen. So what do I decide to do half asleep? I decide to reinstall the rom. Here are my steps, and I suggest you dont follow them.

1. Format system

2. Format data

3. Format cache

4. Mount system

5. Reboot phone (Swear this was an accident, as I was trying to navigate to the "install zip from sd card" option)

So my question is ,whats the quickest way to unbrick my phone. It just stays on the "M" boot logo. I found a couple of threads on different sites but want to make sure I"m using the latest method and for the Droid X. Thanks in advance :o
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Looks like an SBF is in your very near future.

Go to the Development subforum and search there.

If you have not applied the OTA 2.2 update, you will need the instructions to SBF back to 2.1 and then apply the 2.2 leak, and load your ROM from there.

If you have already done OTA 2.2, there is also an SBF that will restore /system only. It Might save you.

BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU DO NOT FLASH the 2.1SBF if you were on OTA 2.2. If you do, it will be game over.

Let us know how you fair.
[Droid X General] SysAdmNj:
One of the first things I did was the 2.2 ota when I got my phone.

Thanks, I will search there and report back.
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
Can you not get back into Clockwork if you pull your battery?? And they do have a 2.2 sbf that restores your system files.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
if you hose /system you won't be able to get back into recovery. Recovery depends on the logwrapper in /system/bin. If it's gone, no recovery boot.

I'm guessing Format System pretty much took care of that :)
[Droid X General] SysAdmNj:
Correct, I cannot get back into clockwork recovery.

I can get into android recovery but I cant do much from there.
[Droid X General] SysAdmNj:
Guys, is the ota 2.2 sbf I need SHADO_X6_2.3.13_SYSTEM-ONLY.zip

found here?

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Team-Black-Hat-does-it-again.html
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes. I think that is your only hope at this point. If it doesn't work, I think you are SOL.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
I did something very similar to this, flashing the 2.2 System SBF fixed it
[Droid X General] SysAdmNj:
I'm back up and running. Thanks people.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
good for you man. seriously. just read a couple threads like this. makes me real nervous about flashing roms.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidrobot52:
ok so here's what's going on. my g1 has been off and in storage for a month now because i had the mytouch 3.5mm. i figured maybe i can just use my g1 as a device for around the house. so i plug it in let it juice up unplug it and turn the power on. it goes past the g1 screen and directly to the yellow exclamation with the g1 in front.now i aint no newb. ive rooted my phone a couple times and know how to search the forums for help. so i tried to update it press alt+l the alt+w to wipe and also tried to wipe cache..then update from zip. it reads the update gets all the way to installing update and then just aborts the installlation. now ive tried multiple updates and it does it to all of them. this is what i get

Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

installing update....

installation aborted..

so is stock g1 cant say anything else cause really cant get any where else..

also when i choose rebot phone it takes me to recovery page then to a bluee screen telling me to press send to restore phone to stock i press send and nothing happens.. read on this site to wait 8-12 mins cause it takes that long to write stuff and load.i waited 1/2 hr to an hr and still nothing happens..any one got a idea to help me out...i've tried alot of stuff and if u wnt me to get in details i can.. also if u want screen shots i can post them as soon as i get home..

I have done some research about this Rom version because I didn't know this Rom version but it seams to be a South East Asia Rom version you have.

If this is correct, that's the reason way you can't access the new Rom on the HTC website because it's based on EU users.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuhaibhd2:
so as in htc doesnt provides any support for the south east asian versions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Yes, cooked Rom are more flexible!

It isn't complicate just read and follow the information that the Rom builder mention.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuhaibhd2:
thanks kurt! :)..btw just wanted to know if htc releases the roms only for some specific region as in will they actually release a south asian rom update? and can you point me to some thread relating to battery life of the hd2? deosnt last a day with all the updates turned off
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
- Yes official HTC Rom updates are regional

- When will thy released a south asian Rom?? I don't know I don't work fore them, and there isn't a logic? :o

- Battery live is related to different point's; most influent is the Radio version.

I must be honest till yesterday personally I was only satisfy with the 1.07 radio I tray them all, just yesterday I tested the new 1.15 radio and I must say "thats the one!" fore my used, it depends of your location and in combination of the Rom

If you don't have a clou about a Rom take a look on the Artemis Rom (It's the one I used, and very happy with it) (You can find the link in my signature)

PS this is a suggestion, based on my experience but I'm sure if you ask 10 peoples with one is the best Rom you will get 7 different answer if it is not 10! :cool:

Ok crowns me. Is it possible to have the. apk
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
It's not that simple. It won't work on our hardware yet because it only contains code for the N1 (as far as I know). It needs a good bit of work but I'm sure we'll eventually get FM on AOSP builds for Wildfire :)

My question is its possible to port this mod for our hero?

Link:

http://forum.samdroid.net/f55/i-o-performance-boost-migrate-your-spica-ext2-2218/

Info:

What does it do?

Reformatting /data as ext4 (as it needs journaling for safety), and /system as ext2(as it is mounted ro all the time).

Thx for the answer.

Regards

Wenner
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bo$s:
It gives performance boost on Samsung phones because Samsung has it's own filesystem which slows down whole system. Reformatting it to ext gives boost because ext is faster. HTC Android devices has ext partitions as default so it isn't needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hacre:
Wrong, on all counts.

The storage partitions on the HTC Hero and other devices is nand memory, not a block device. ext filesystem is designed for block devices. The filesystems on /data /system /cache etc are all yaffs2, a filesystem designed specifically for Memory Technology Devices like the NAND in our phones.

Furthermore, even if you could format /data, /system etc as a filesystem other than yaffs2 you'd have to do it from outside the ROM, either via recovery or hboot somehow. A journalling filesystem is destructive to flash memory because flash memory has a finite number of writes before it fails. You'd also have to have a custom kernel if the default kernel doesn't support the filesystem you want to switch to.

If you use old style apps2sd and therefore have a partition for it on your sdcard, they're set up to emulate block devices and you should use ext2 for the reasons pointed out earlier. sdcards are still flash memory at heart and thus journalling is destructive.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bo$s:
Thanks for explanation, but i have question - why we don't use yaffs2 for app2sd (which is designed for flash memory)?

And which is faster - yaffs2 or ext2? On Samsung devices reformatting whole system to ext2 gives performance boost (in comparision to RFS).

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botnryan:
I was trying to root my Eris and i went to the 1 click eris root thread, downloaded it, followed all the directions, now when i hold vol up and power it boots to the recovery thing. From here im supposed to scroll down to flash zip from sd. I cant. Ive tried the track ball, the volume keys, everything. All it will let me do is press the trackball to select "reset device" or whatever the first option is. Any help? Like is there any way to flash that zip without using that recovery thing? Sorry if this is some simple noob mistake. just got my eris last week.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botnryan:
Anybody? Is there a different bootloader/recovery program i could load onto my phone to flash the "rootme.zip"?

EDIT: i think my trackball might just be broken or something, is there somethin i could edit to make it where the vol keys move the selector up and down instead of the track ball? i can still press the trackball, just cant scroll with it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
Sounds like a broken trackball to me. Mine broke a month after I first got my Eris, it would only scroll left. The phone was under warranty so I got it exchanged no problem. My younger brother had the same problem except his trackball would not scroll down.

The trackball on the Eris seems to be really sensitive and any pivoting force placed on the usb cable when it's plugged in seems to be the culprit. Just swap out your phone for a new one at a Verizon store and you'll be good to go.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Read the 2nd post in this thread:

and follow the links there.

This is a method for technically sophisticated users; if you are intimidated by it, then DON'T USE IT.

(The author of that method - me - will not offer spoon-feeding services.)

There is a chance that ROM Manager/Clockwork recovery will work without a trackball, but I don't use that, and in any event you need to be rooted to install that, so there is a chicken-and-egg problem in proposing it as a work-around.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
If your trackball is rooted please do not go further in the process... simply run the RUU and go back to 1.5 or 2.1 and return your phone for a new one/ Incredible.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I was going to offer the OP the same advice, except for one thing: he didn't mention whether or not the trackball problem is also present with the stock O/S booted.

In addition to lots of reports from folks that clearly have broken/bad trackballs, there have also been multiple reports from people that experience scrolling problems with the trackball only when Amon_RA is booted - those folks are sort of SOL when it comes to a return, as they can't demonstrate the problem occurs with factory software.

But, yeah - if it is broken in both Amon_RA and the stock O/S, the OP should try and get a replacement phone. (Ugh! From the looks of recent reports, the OP might just end up with a "refurb" that also has a broken trackball)

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botnryan:
No way i can return it. im not the original owner, i bought it off of a friend for $20 lol, he thought it was broken but it just needed a new battery. the trackball scrolls left and right just not up or down, and it does this whether im in Amon_RA or not. its just the track ball is broken. I consider myself pretty "tech sophisticated" so ill try bftb0's first word of advice and see if that will work. Thanks for the help guys. if it doesnt work i guess im just SOL on getting my Eris rooted. Oh well, im due an upgrade and will probably get the droid 2 anyway but i was hoping to get the eris going.

EDIT: LOL go figure my luck here...my USB port is also gimped, like as in doesnt work at all, i charge my batteries on battery cradles that plug in the wall, and the method of flashing a zip without using the trackball requires you to connect your phone to your computer with usb cable, so im SOL. Thanks for trying guys, any other help (doubtful there is any) would be much appreciated.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botnryan:
So i opened up the app drawer in landscape and had an idea. is there anyway someone could mod the 1 click root thing so that the recovery operates in landscape? because since my trackball scrolls left and right i could then scroll "down" to the flash from sd card option, if it was in landscape.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It IS Lupus:

i had similar issues with my trackball not responding in recovery earlier this week

did some searching and found that i had to connect the usb cable and try some gentle wiggling - the usb port is so close to the trackball that it sometimes affects how the ball's movement is read

doesnt need to be plugged into PC, just the part that connects to the phone

i wanted to update Kaosfroyo to v38 and i had no control when navigating recovery screen or it would scroll to the bottom of the list without me touching anything

after doing some investigation i booted into recovery with the usb connected and held the plug where it connects to phone and tried holding the cord at different angles until it responded as i needed it to and presto! now running KF38:cool: with no trackball issues

Hello,

i’ve bought one elm327 bluetooth adapter from Ebay, my problem seems to be that i should pair it to my HTC Desire using no code at all(blank code), this seems not to be possible since the ‘ok’ button is greyed out if i do no enter any code. I’ve tried enter ‘spacebar’ and ‘spacebar + backspace’ with no result, first one complains about wrong password, second one just gives me an error when it tries to pair.

The device i am using shows up as ‘CHX’, and the manual states i should use code ’5678′ which does not work at all.

I tried to pair to my macbook and pairing seem to work if i choose to not use any code at all, but i can’t test to see if it actually works because i can’t find any sw for os x. :(

Anyone have a clue what to do?

TIA

[Edit]

Just for the record if anyone come across the same problem with a device that identifies itself as 'CHX' the pairing code for my unit were not what the documentation stated, but instead 6789.
