[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
the reason why it wont restore your nand is because the nand was made with a different hboot. People have seen this issue a lot when using cm6 they need the eng boot loader and have found the same exact issues with nand and img files they made on the newer bootloader.

your options are to just start over and redo your settings etc or attempt to flash the hboot you previously had onto it and nand driod. I dont recommend flashing all the images from within the nand droid individually even if it lets you. You are better off starting new in this situation in my opinion. There is a good chance you will not get everything back anyway and it very well could put you back in a boot loop (it doesnt let you flash the nand for a reason). If you are die hard against starting over now that everything is booting again you should be able to flash the boot loader you previously had and i wouldnt anticipate problems though since we dont know exactly what was causing them i cant say for 100%

i think the reason you feel it is still unstable is mostly coming from the fact you cant restore your old nand backup. which i explained above. Try it out for a few days and see what happens. The good news is your phone isnt bricked and it is out of a boot loop. Just a few more steps and you should be back ready to go again with either option you choose.

You sound like you had the same exact problem I have now..I tried a lot of the things in this thread but for sum reason I still have an issue with not getting into recovery. Flintr was there any other things you did that are not posted in the thread. I thought I may have been sol because I ran a stock PC36IMG and a stock ruu.exe but it seems you did too so i wonder what else did you do to fix it..because I get a new phone tomorrow but I would luv to fix the phone I got now still just to know what to do next time. I AM MOST DEFINTLEY ROOTING MY PHONE AGAIN I LUV THAT MYN ROM LOL. I DONT PLAN ON BEING IN THE SAME SITUATION AGAIN HOWEVER IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO JUST IN CASE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsmoove386:
When you say it fixed it for you do you mean you were able to access recovery or your phone booted into the Rom?
[Vibrant General] radioraheem:
Quick question as the searches are failing me...

I removed the One Click Lag Fix 2.1+ in preparation for the JI6 OTA update. I have not removed my root access yet as I've been told that the update will simply overwrite it back to a "normal" user status. I still have OCLF installed from the market. I removed the ext2 tools also.

After removing the lag fix I was expecting that I would be able to mount my vibrant via USB like I did before I rooted it originally. Sadly this is not the case.

I've made sure to enable the Mass Storage prompt in the Applications -> USB settings, but according to the syslogs on my mac it's not even seeing the SD cards when I attempt to mount them. (No error, no nothing).

Is there something else I have to do to get usb mass storage working again?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Switch the setting To ask you what to do. plug it in, choose Mass storage. then switch it back to just mass storage.
[Vibrant General] radioraheem:
Thanks for the reply but I need a little more detail.

Switched to "Ask", plugged in, chose "Mass Storage".

You didn't say to attempt to mount the drive at that point, and I did choose Mass Storage, but I cannot switch it back to just mass storage as opposed to "Ask" while the USB cable is still plugged in.

So I'm guessing what you meant was: "Set USB plug to 'Ask', plug in, choose Mass storage, do not mount USB, unplug USB cable, change USB plug to 'Mass Storage', plug USB cable back in, attempt to mount."

Is that correct?
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
all I had to do was just change it from mass storage to ask and them instantly change out back to mass storage
[Vibrant General] radioraheem:
Again, what _exactly_ is meant by this since you cannot change the USB settings from Ask to Mass Storage while the USB cable is still connected?
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
When you plug your phone into the computer via usb, if the message to mount does not come up in the status bar disconnect the usb cable, go to settings, applications, usb settings, change it from mass storage to ask on connection, and then change it back.

After I did that, I plugged the phone into the computer again and it asked me if I wanted to mount or not.

If this does not work, try turning off debugging and doing it over again.
[Vibrant General] radioraheem:
Ok, this is weird...

I turned USB Debugging on because it was set to off, and now my drives mount correctly.

*shrug* It works now, and that's all that I'm looking for :)

Thanks for the suggestions everybody!
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Err yes. With USB debugging on, it will always work.

To clarify the instructions:

1. Turn on "Ask"

2. Plug into PC

3. Select "Mass storage"

4. At this point, if it shows that you can mount, great.

5. Unplug and switch to Mass storage.

6. when you plug it in, it should always prepare to mount.
[Vibrant General] radioraheem:
Strange, that is what I tried and it did not work until I turned USB Debugging on.

Yeah, I just did some more testing and confirmed that the only way I can get my drives mounted at the moment is to turn debugging on.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
You're on a Mac, right? I've read that Macs require the phone to be in debugging mode.
[Vibrant General] radioraheem:
Hadn't heard that before now but based on this and previous behavior it sounds right to me :)

Thanks for the heads up!
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yeah, not sure if it's because of driver support, but I've read this on a couple forums now.
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
I did not have to switch settings I just selected mass storage again and it worked.
[HD2 General] m0bov:
Ok I entered the access point info for t-mobile but my phone won't let me connect to the skoda car phone for data. Also noticed something in the menus for modem! Any ideas? Ta.
[HD2 General] sausagedog:
i take it that the gsm3 is the car using your phone over bluetooth, or is it the car has the phone built in thus being gsm2.or is it other way round....

anyway

if ya have to pair the car to the phone then i think its bluetooth and all u need to do is pair it and u can use your phone as a bluetooth modem.if ya still having trouble pm me tmorro and i will ask my guys i know at vag can u pm me ya car model etc year and if possible in the boot should be a sticker with loads of codes on it like this...........

4qw 2e4 c3q

9w2 7ae x9f and so on, it should be in the spare wheel well or in the owners manual. then i can help u.

Hi

I'm trying to change my boot screen to a loading semi circle. I cannot remove bootanimation.zip from /system/media

when I cd to /sys.media and type "rm bootanimation.zip" it asks me with a ?

If I type Y and press enter it says cannot remove "bootanimation.zip":read only file.

what can I do to get rid of the stock skateboard bootscreen?

PS Before typing in any adb cmd's I am typing "su"
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
First trying doing:

adb remount

Then try your rm command.If the rm command does not work after that, you could try:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot

If neither of those work, push it to /data/local. On KaosFroyo, I use this method.:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
I would just adb push to /data/local. It should read from their first.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workshed:
adb is just over some peoples heads, flashing a zip is easier.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Two words....root explorer.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Ok, now I'm confused. Are you trying to change the boot animation or the boot image? The boot animation is simple to change. Copy new bootanimation.zip to your sd card. Download root explorer, open it and select R/W . Navigate to the sd card and copy the new boot animation. Navigate to system/media and paste. It must be named bootanimation.zip.

If you want to change the boot image (first image you see at boot) that's a completely different process. Go here http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-654042.html for a how to. I had a little trouble with this at first but got it to work. Scroll down and see my comment for a how to that worked for me.

Good luck!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
Yes this is it. But all of the required files are not available for download. From what I gather I have to completely wipe my phone to unlock my HBOOT.

My HBOOT is S=ON I want the S-OFF bootloader but cannot find complete instruction/files to do so.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
I'm ready to pull my hair out. I followed those steps for engeneering hboot to the letter... 2wice and it did not work. When pb001 is done flashing it sits at the hboot screen and still reads S-ON and when I try to flash a recovery from there it says "waiting for device" and nothing ever happens because the hboot screen is asking me to flash pb001 even though I already did. Those instructions are spectacularly bad. Does anyone have clearer or better instructions?

All this has done is waste an hr of my time and its making me see red.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
Are you using the steps from this post? I was a little challenging at first however I was able to do it (more than once), although I was sad the first time that I had to re-flash the rom I was using and set up the phone all over again.

I no longer have a eris, however I will do what I can to help if you haven't already got it working.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Honestly, I don't know much about that because I rooted with the old method. What method did you use? Perhaps you can unroot and root with the old method (using cmd prompts to push custom recovery).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
If you don't already have it, download Titanium from the market. It's a great tool for backing up and restoring your phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
I rooted with Eris one click. It gives you Amon's ra and I have several custom roms downloaded + I have a couple nadroid backups. I just can't figure out the engineering boot loader.

Flashing PB00 does unroot the phone so I'm not sure where to go from here.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
I am assuming you are following the guide here, for me it was confusing at step 5 in the beginning. Did you flash the engtools or push the flash image? Personally I pushed the flash tool.

Step 6 is tricky, you have to be patient as it does take a while and best to do it with plugged in. If I remember right it I did the very last step (flashing recovery.img) before rebooting when it asked me if I wanted to restart.

I lost root after doing it, however 1 click from the market was my friend and savior. I booted into bootloader and verified I had 1.49.2000 s=off, so it was worth it in the end.

At what point is it not working for you?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
Yes I am following Jcase's steps. I also flashed the image. When it asks me to reboot the boot loader it reboots to fastboot and does not ask me to install pb00 unless I go to HBOOT. When I flash PB00 in HBOOT it does so ok, but then it check's the sd card and keeps asking me to flash pb00 even though I already did. While in this screen I cannot see the device in adb or fastboot and I cannot flash a recovery to it. So all I can do is yank the Batt and boot to a unrooted 2.1 eris....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
did you use the following code to get into bootloader?

adb reboot bootloader

What you are experiencing is something I haven't had to deal with myself. It was painful but not impossible. If I remember when I used the adb command to reboot into bootloader it started flashing almost immediately. What do you see when you do that?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
I'm currently on attempt 2 and am stuck at exactly this part

"Step 6:

Reboot to Bootloader and flash PB00IMG.zip"

when I reboot by typing "adb reboot bootloader" The phone reboots to the "fastboot usb" mode with the option to hit vol-down for HBOOT. PB00 is not flashing itself and the only way to do so is if I were to go to HBOOT. But then I cannot go back to fastboot.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
Ok that sounds like something I came across either the first or second time I did this, go ahead and go to hboot and flash the PB00IMG, when done pull battery.

Once back up, reuse the adb command to get to bootloader and select the fastboot option and then use last command. (however you may want to double check your bootloader version, it may be the s=off at this point) If it is, the re-root and your back to rooting heaven.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
It's not working. I have followed those steps to the T. After flashing pb00 and rebooting then rebooting to boot loader its still s=on and it says remote not allowed when I try to flash a new recovery.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
When in flashboot, run flashboot devices, what shows up? You ma not have the right flashboot drivers setup. I remember having an issue like this for something else I was toying with and came across this thread (not a eris thread but informative - scroll down to the fastboot section) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

Hope it helps.

EDIT: Make sure usb debugging is on!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
adb and fastboot drivers are setup correctly. I can see the device using either adb devices or fastboot devices

Ok, don't recall having as much trouble as your having, have you tried what this guy did?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7472914&postcount=74

EDIT: just researching your issue, just curious, are you using the PM00IMG file from the original bootloader thread? Something tells me that one or more of the files you are using may be curropted. I would remove from SDcard and redownload. Idea came from reading this post.

EDIT2: If that doesn't work PM jcase, he may be able to shed light.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
The check sums all line up ok. I tried flashing engtools3.zip just for S&G's and still s=on. There is either a step or file missing from the instructions, or it just plain doesnt work....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
Took me a while to track this down, I almost forgot about it... You can read here, (See edit3) I attached the zip and make no guarantee's, however it worked for me on my 7th or 8th Eris. Anyways, just place on the root of sdcard and flash like it was a ROM, (after you regain root).

WOW, great find !! I threw that zip onto my sd card and flashed it and bam engineering bootloader is installed and S=OFF.

Just a warning to anyone who may try to flash this:

I flashed it on my Eris (1.46.0000 S-ON), and it bricked it.

Based on information from bftb0 in this post, you shouldn't flash this unless your bootloader is 1.49.0000 S-ON.

Hi Gurus,

While everybody is trying 2.2, I am still stuck on FJ6 (or incomplete JH7).

Here's the history:

1. Got the phone on day 1 of release.. loved it and still love it. No GPS issues - first lock took 20 secs and subsequent locks took 6 seconds at most.

2. Rooted and unlocked the phone, deleted all AT&T crapware. Running Launcher Pro, Tiatinum backup etc.

3. Installed Lagfix - was happy with a high quadrant score

4. Saw that the JH7 OTA is out

5. Read up on the forums here and unlagged lagfix.

6. Initiated the OTA update, went all the way thru, and got the message "update failed - No updated available" after restart. GPS is messed up.

7. Settings --> About Phone shows this

- Firmware version: 2.1-update1

- Baseband Version: I897UCJH7

- Kernel Version: 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

- Build Number: ECLAIR

8. Went to plan B - Kies Mini, was able to connect but stuck at "Unregistered screen".

9. Got frustrated and called Samsung.

- They said that the OTA upgrade worked "half way thru". They were expecting something after the "ECLAIR" in build number and I should not see the "PC Internet" as an option under USB Settings.

So Samsung said that they will have to reflash the phone to JH7 and have asked me to send the phone in.

1. I will be without a phone for 4-5 days which sucks.

2. They may (an will?) see my shenanigans (root etc) on the phone even after a hard reset ??

What are the implications? Is there any way around this? Can I do something (or follow some instruction by myself) to fix this? I am ok going back to stock AT&T firmware - to need to mess around with removing crapware etc. I would just like to keep the phone "unlocked" (I travel overseas quite a bit).

I have read thru most of the form postings.. which confused me more. At this point of time, I have a "brain freeze" and would appreciated a "just do this and then this" type of instruction.

Ironically, ever since switching from Windows Mobile to android, I have been a big proponent of this phone and operating system. Now I am beginning to see the downside of being on the leading/bleeding edge.. :confused:

Please help..

You can always use ODIN and flash it that way...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8567598&postcount=6
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
You hacked your phone, now it won't update and you think it is because android is on the bleeding edge.

If you had reverted to stock first (odin one click) you may have had success. Maybe it would kill your unlock -some it does, some it doesn't.

Some phones had trouble updating even from stock - but unless you put it back - you will have no baseline. You need to make it stock before you send it anyway - or they may just return it because you did root and modify it.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
Use Odin to do a master clear, flash back to JH6 with Odin, then do the JH7 update via your phone or with Kies, then you can do the one-click root.

Or just skip JH7 and bump up to JI6.
[Captivate General] defriend:
Thanks for the link...

Some more questions:

1. Will this clear my unlock? I forgot to write down my unlock code. Is there a way to get it out again before the flash?

2. Will this completely eliminate all traces of modifications?

3. What about my apps? I have a appbrain account, will I use that to revert? What about paid apps?

Thanks in advance..

[Captivate General] defriend:
Thank you all for your help. I was able to upgrade to JH7. :D

1. Did the JF6 Odin 1-click update (did NOT do a Master Clear)

2. Once back to baseline, I uses Keis Mini to upgrade to JH7 - worked flawlessly

3. Rooted using Lagfix (did not install lagfix though)

4. Installed appbrain app - I see all the apps that I need to re-install. I installed some, but will wait to get home and do the "Once Button" install over wifi

5. Titanium Backup was not able to Restore Apps (no 3rd part app installation allowed). Will just wait for appbrain to do its thing and restore app data only from Titanium backup (hopefully this option exists).

6. Restored all screen from Launcher Pro backup - widgets are messed up, but not a big deal

This definitely worked out, especially comparing to the alternative of sending in the phone and what not..

As a bonus, GPS performance is fantastic - caught 7 satellites in 5 seconds 30' accuracy with my phone near my office window (did not even have to go outside). Will test more with maps on my way home..

Falling in love with Android all over again :p

Once again, a BIG thanks to those who helped. :)

I will wait for a few days before taking on 2.2 .. gulp..

[Captivate General] defriend:
Just wanted to report back, GPS is awesome now. Takes max 10 seconds (first time) when fired from Google Maps. Subsequent locks are taking no more than 6 seconds.

Also, did not find a way to just restore app data from Titanium Backup. So had to recreate some stuff .. no biggie. Anybody know of an alternative backup app that will actually let me restore apps and stuff - which is the point of a backup app!!

the CM6 nightlies are missing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
I am currently testing floyo 1.01 as it is newer (and so more up to date including, finally, a French Canada QWERTY keyboard!) than froyd 1.5 (my last ROM). Also it comes with less crap built-in (not hard to remove, but still). However I think that froyd's policy of switching to the conservative governor while screen is off is a better idea for long battery life. Too bad we need an extra application to handle that (CPUspeed).

I also like the fact that the gallery 3D doesn't rotate. It didn't work anyways.

But what made me change is that I had random reboots when I used my phone with Froyd 1.5.

CM6 for the win anyways. Most (all?) of these roms are based on CM6 so they don't differ much.
