[Vibrant General] PepeLasNoches:
My girl friends phone bricked the other night from the OTA, it's rooted(update.zip) and has the bloatware uninstalled, nothing else like lagfix/roms on it etc.

T-Moible is sending her a replacement phone, which im pretty surprised about. Now since we have to send the old phone back so they can check for damage or anything that would void the warrenty.

We get to keep the external SD card(Avatar), now im sure there is a pretty good chance they will find that its been rooted. So we would have to pay $400 they said if its voided.

Now I can't get this phone to boot into download mode or even mount it, so what should I do? I know about ODIN but have never used it, can it mount the phone?
[Vibrant General] Dave08:
I got the soft brick and had to flash back to stock via Odin and then I flashed the JI6 tar file from the forum. All is working fine now.

I had root but no update.zip file on the sdcard root, had removed startup an shutdown sounds, had used both ROM Manager and Titanium (with LZO compression turned on), and had removed bloatware including the non-functioning Media Hub.

Next time I'll flash back to stock before doing an OTA update.
[Vibrant General] bcmatteagles:
I am rooted have Titanium backup, ROM Manager, and clockwork mod. I also had an update.zip but I think it was from OCLF not from another source. My update went fine and I'm running without any problems on the new update.
[Vibrant General] PepeLasNoches:
Woo, got it unbricked! finally got into download mode and ODIN saved the day.

[Vibrant General] pietro_spina:
there is a cross platform tool being developed called 'Heimdall'. It is currently a command line tool and is in beta. however people are successfully flashing their phones using it. It is obviously not a 'one click' solution, so you will have to go find the proper files and type out the command.

It can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265#

If you are the type of person with access to both a windows machine and a linux machine, I suggest you check this out. Testers are needed. Of course you can test if you don't have windows, but it's nice to have Odin as a back up. ;-) just incase....

[Vibrant General] FRuiTBoOT:
I had a failed update twice using Odin. It wasn't until I went back to stock T959JFD for the second time and deleted update.zip and all clockwork back ups that it finally worked. Runs perfect with no issues.
[Vibrant General] rramey23:
Was rooted with OCLF, Captive camera, gps fix, rom manager, titanium backup and add removal. Removed the OCLF and unrooted, ran the update, looked like it got to 100% (not sure cause I looked away and then back at it right before reboot) but said update failed. Got stuck at the vibrant screen blah blah. I'm pretty sure I had an update.zip on the sd, but not 100% on that. After pushing the update with ODIN I have noticed my phone lagging quite a bit.... Thoughts?

The Galaxy s and verizon Logo disappeared after i flashed to the new kernel..

Do you guys know what happened?

is there way to fix that?

Thanks in advance..
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Which kernal? Some would consider losing those boot logos a fix in and of themselves.

Try d/l a bootanimaton.zip in /data/local/ directory and see what happens. Maybe jt or dirrk removed the commands to play Samsung's qrm splash animation and so it trys to do the legacy bootanimation.zip method.
[Fascinate Android Development] CouchSpud:
It's still there with jt's kernal.
[Fascinate Android Development] tallnerd1985:
Hopefully JT or Dirrk can fix this in their next kernel so that way we can fully do bootanimations.zip without lags.

Bootanimation zip files won't work on our fascinates. They are using a .qmg file system on the boot animation so the normal bootanimation.zip to change the boot screen won't work.

There's a way around it, but it kinda doesn't really work... as in it kinda sucks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiggz:
Hi Guys,

Did have a search but I'm not sure i speak the same language as some of the posts I tried to read :)

Woke up this morning and thought I'd have a fiddle with my Nexus. I'd used Androot to get root. I downloaded ROm Manager....flashed Clockwork recovery, and flashed a few roms....

Here are my questions:

Is that it? Is that how to Flash ROMs?

When I flashed FRF91 Stock Nexus ROM super user wouldn't give me root...ideas?

What's the most frequently used ROM, and can I flash it this way

finally...Am I missing anything or is that all I need to do?

Cheers for help. Not a smartphone noob, but seems I'm an Android noob :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiggz:
I know it's a noob couple of questions but if somebody could help I'd be very appreciative. Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xculliber:
Read the forums. Then ask very specific questions.

2.2.1 was released to block root exploits by U. Androot. Search for rageagainstthecage in the forums or more simply "root F****" please replace asterisks with actual build.

PS: Is there more to Modding? That's subjective. Objectively ...post issues so devs know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiggz:
Basically I was asking if the way in which I was flashing was correct but yeah you did help. Will look for the 2.2.1 rooted build

I've had my installation running fast and stable for a week now but with all the excitement and experimentation at the start I didn't make a note of which kernel I am using :o.

Is there any way to tell which it is by looking at the kaisimg.nbh file in a word processor? The intelligible parts all look the same to me and I can't seem to find anything like a date which would help to identify it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] psych0w0lf:
write "uname -a" without quotes in terminal emulator
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Or 'Settings, About Phone' which also has the kernel version :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
Thanks, so do I assume the date given there is the same as on the name of the kernel?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
Where it says "2.6.32.9" can anyone tell me what the "9" refers to? I'm pretty sure the one I downloaded was "kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh" though I would have changed panel and keyboard in atools.

I suppose it doesn't really matter. I will just make a copy back from the kaisimg.nbh and call it "working" in case I need it again. I am amazed everything is working so great. Android is so much better than WM6.5 - even on our old devices :). Thanks again to everyone connected with this project.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
.9 is reffered to kernel release (2.6.32.9)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
Yeah but no mention of 9 in the version I think I downloaded (kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh) - just "21". Is this "21" the release number?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arxe41:
I have heard a few people mention that their replacement phones don't suffer from the same hinge problem - that HTC might actually be fixing this issue in production and newly produced phones won't have loose hinges...anyone have any thoughts?

On a side note... I played with my phone yesterday when i got it, and despite the hinge (mines loose too), i was able to type upside down (and any other which way) because of the way my hands grip the phone - they keep the hinge in place, i bet many other users will be the same way.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaGeNeCySt:
that's how i've always gripped my phones
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCbrian:
FWIW: I'm on the side of "that's the way it's supposed-to/designed-to be". So it won't be "fixed" since there's nothing broken.

BUT: It's irrelevant if it's supposed to be that way or not -- all that matters is if the user likes it that way.

So: I tried the floor/display unit in a T-Mo store, deployed the keyboard and held the phone as I might if typing while reclining/in-bed, with the plane of the phone vertical and then tilted slightly beyond vertical towards me...and the screen flopped down/closed.

I held the phone the same way I hold my current TP2 when typing on the keyboard: with my index fingers wrapped behind the keyboard, not touching the screen. So...for me it seems like it would be a bit of a problem...or at least a downside. For someone who doesn't hold the phone like I do -- someone who supports the screen with their fingers -- it probably wouldn't be an issue.

YMMV.

Issue or not -- I doubt that future batches will change...until/unless they change the design.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daijoubu:
The problem is, there is two clear distinct hinge conditions in the market now, as evidence in Youtube vids. One condition is loose hinge, where by holding it upside down by the lower half will cause the upper half to swing down, and the other condition is that its tight and will not swing down. This leads me to believe that the problem is more in manufacturing because if its design, it should exhibit only one condition all the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
The phone is not supposed to flop down like that. I checked one out at the store, held it horizontal and it didn't budge.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaGeNeCySt:
My replacement doesn't budge when held upside down with the keyboard out.. it does do it when i have my gel case on but stays in place when the case is off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCbrian:
I hope you guys are right, 'cause this "issue" is actually making me drag my feet about buying it...and this is the only new phone on the horizon that meets my needs (high-end with hardware keyboard on T-Mobile USA that's not WP7).

The only reason I'm not convinced yet (even though I'd like to believe) is that several people have posted that their hinge started out "firm" and then got looser.

In any case, it will be early-November before I buy so I bet that the "truth" -- whatever it is -- will be evident by then. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamak:
mine was tight when I got it, and magically later that same day, became extremely loose with no precursor
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praguewatermelon:
I don't think anyone can really say with certainty how the hinge is supposed to work. It does seem to be a prevalent "issue". I got a replacement phone (for an issue unrelated to the hinge), the replacement also has a loose hinge just like my first one. And as some people reported, even some units in T-Mobile stores have loose hinges.

I personally like G1's hinge much better. Wish G2 had the same type of hinge :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamak:
I hated the G1 hinge, and personally like the design of the hinge over then more common slide, but we will have to see its longevity, right now the hinge issue isn't a major concern, the screen doesn't open crocked or have excessive play from side to side when opened, just opens to easily which I can live with
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I have my second G2 and in my case both of the phones were loose to start. The one I received 2 days ago has loosened even more in spite of the fact that I hardly ever deploy the keyboard. While in a restaurant last night I had the G2 lying on the table and I reached over to pick it up and the keyboard just slid out. Which is way too loose for me. I am requesting a replacement because of this and also very poor or defective radio. This is a very good phone and I dont want to give up on it but only time will tell.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcadia310:
I've had my G2 since the release date and my hinge is strong. It doesn't flop down on its own. Even when I'm lying down the screen stays up on its own. Some are loose and others aren't.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praguewatermelon:
why did you hate the G1 hinge? I've had G1 since it was first launched. It was (is still) sturdy.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoulak:
My hinge is a little loose, if I hold it by the keyboard and give it a light shake it the screen drops about 3/16 of an inch. Now when the screen is open it will never close. I use the keyboard a lot and it doesn't seem to affect how loose it is.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:
I can do all the stuff you did in ur video and my hinge is loose. You were being very gentle with it. One shake and you know what would have happened lol.

That being said the hinge doesn't effect usage AT ALL. I'm also getting faster on this keyboard... at first I hated it because the G1 KB is better imo. ALso the modified HTC_IME virtual keyboard in the Nexus forum puts the iOS vk to shame.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wondermixx:
mine seems loose too, it might jus be normal...I hope tmobile and htc are reading these kinda threads and they need to say something if its normal!

now on the other hand, has anyone read anything about the desire z? i mean its the same phone, does it have the same problems?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmk40:
Here's a picture of a 2 G2s (I ordered a replacement and they are side by side). Which one has better hinges? :)

Both open fairly easily by the way. I'm convinced this is by design.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
The one on the right? The one on the left, the screen part seems to drop down to the right more.. the right G2, the screen is flat..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmk40:
Yep, the one on the right is the replacement and the one I am keeping. Mind you both will open if I pick them up holding the top/bottom half alone. I think we should all stop obsessing about this and enjoy the phone. That's what I am planning to do now. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
Yeah, my G2 hinge is one of the loosest I've seen.. but luckily for me it doesn't hamper me at all in normal usage. If it does in the future I will get a replacement since I have the premium insurance plan.. but for now I'm loving it! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeithRVA:
The hinge on my G2 works perfectly, and doesn't seem loose or tight. It opens and closes with a nice snap, and I think the design is how it should be. There are no springs, so the weight of the screen and gravity are the only things in play. So yes, if you hold the bottom of the device and turn it upside down the screen is going to hang, that's just how it is designed. This is not an issue for me, I don't hold my phone like that. As for it coming open while in a purse and getting damaged, that would only happen if it was put in the purse with the keyboard already open. When closed it stays closed unless the screen is pushed/lifted open. I don't think there will be a hardware recall or anything, this won't be antennagate either. If the hinge is not for you then pass on the G2, it is what it is. I like it!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
There is definately a spring and/or recoil in the system. There is a video of a torn down g2 and the hinge mechanism snaps close without the screen attached.

If your screen closes upside down when holding just the keyboard you do not have a properly built phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiko36:
Found the silver lining:

Was sitting with a bunch of friends last night and only had one free hand to open my phone with. I couldn't get proper leverage to open it with my thumb so I decided to trying tossing the phone in a way to make it spin. The spin was enough centrifugal force to slide the keyboard out and land back in my hand. Everyone in the room thought it was cool so I've decided if nothing else we've at least gotten a neat parlor trick :p

I've recently tried installing the Fruit Ninja (~14mb APK) and the Firefox Beta (~11mb apk) but both are saying I have not enough space to view/install the app.

I've cleared things out on my phone and have 37.5MB free on the internal storage.]

How can 11 or 14mb apps not be able to install with that much free memory?

Using HTC Legend stock 2.1
[Legend General] SiNJiN76:
Not here to answer your question...because I don't know...but, that's happened to me as well. I do believe that I read somewhere that there is a certain threshold...and you may have reached it. :confused:
[Legend General] Ice-Cream:
Try and go to application management, and see what apps takes most space and clear the cache. That helped me with my Galaxy S :)
[Legend General] Snowtoad23:
Yeah I have, none really have any significant cache. The only way I could free up space is uninstalling more apps but I don't see why in would need to when in have that much free space already
[Legend General] chron12:
Well the firefox beta after install is around 37mb. I thought it was 11mb until i installed. Idk about fruit ninja though.
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Fennec needs about 41mb I think ...
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
Fennec aka Firefox 4.1 beta is not working on Legeng..getting forced closed.
[Legend General] kazzaz:
w ****in need froyo :@:@
[Legend General] Snowtoad23:
damn well that would explain it.. how does 11mb extract out to ~40 mb though??

And all other apps listed including Dolphin browser and games etc only have up to a max of about 8mb in the Manage Applications list.

Is there more data to these apps than shown here, or why does the firefox need so much?
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Simple, because the app need loads of data to fully operate. A few games requires a lot more that 8MB, for example FIFA10. If you need Firefox Beta real bad, here is some suggestion :

1. Uninstall some apps.

2. Root and get custom ROM with A2SD

Other than those 2 you're pretty much stuck.
[Legend General] Snowtoad23:
Yeah but what i want to know is whether the size stated in the Manage Applications list is accurate, i.e. if I installed the firefox would it say ~40mb there, or lower like 8mb like other apps?

Because there's no reason it should be 5x or more larger than other apps which serve the same purpose and have similar features (Dolphin browser)
[Legend General] asyyy:
I can almost certainly be sure that because fruit ninja needs to unpack the apk before installing onto your phone's internal memory so 14MB is just the installed size, and the unpacking process takes up more internal storage space temporarily.

What I did was I kept uninstalling apps one by one at 35MB free space until I am able to install fruit ninja, and then re-installed those apps I removed.

anyhow I know that sounds stupid and I am on my way to root my legend :)
[Legend General] yunlin12:
I'm having this issue also. Am trying to download Swype installer apk file to install Swype. I've cleared out the old Swype install, and Adobe flash, so now have 39 MB free on the phone, plus a few GB free on the sdcard.

I looked around and found that I do not have a download folder on my sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/download), so Dolphin browser was not able to save the apk file. I manually created the folder, and the download is working now.

Not sure if this fits your situation.
[Legend General] NdrU:
There's actually a very good reason for this. Most of the android browser are just different interfaces to the same engine. It's the one the default browser uses, and it's a part of the android system.

Firefox, on the other hand, uses its own engine, and that takes a lot of space. Opera Mobile also has a different engine and it's over 20 MB as well...
