[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick Nasty:
So a buddy sent me his N1 that had been stuck in a boot loop. I asked him to give me the details of what the phone had been through. Of course he didn't know squat! I assume it's a European version (he's in the Philippines).

When I got the N1 it didn't boot to recovery but it did boot to bootloader. I was finally able to flash Aman_RA recovery thru adb. Now I can boot into recovery. I've tried flashing 3 different roms (all MD5 checks pass) but the N1 one shoots out different errors for each ROM. For ex. Missing wallpaper/desire.jpg or some other weird error.

I've been searching for 2 weeks. When I enter bootloader mode and hboot, the device looks for a PASSDIAG.zip. I dl a stock image from the developer.htc site and renamed it to PASSDIAG.zip. If finds it but then gives error about missing PASSDIAG.nbh or image not being the right one.

If I use adb to wipe the cache (in bootloader mode) it works fine, but when I try to wipe userdata I get the "FAILED" to wipe error. Fastboot windows-devices gives me HTCxxxxxxxx so i know it communicates. And i was able to flash recovery twice. No problems .

EDIT: IF YOU NOTICE IN THE SECOND IMAGE THE BLUE STATUS BAR SHOWS UP AND GOES TO THE TOP AS IF IT ACTUALLY WAS DOING SOMETHING

I tried to flash an image using fastboot and adb (flash userdata userdata.img ) but it just hangs for ever.

I just can't flash an Os on this thing. Trully, bricked me thinks?

How do I know what original build should be on it? As I read to flash an original recovery. I can only get the Aman_RA to flash.

Someone mentioned to get ahold of the stock build for EPF30. How in the world do they know that. I sure as hell can't find it...lol. Everything in google search points me to everything but that build.

Thanks in advanced.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Go to Wiki, link in my signature.

Install Amon_Ra's latest recovery.

Go to Stock ROM section and download the only Eclair ROM it has there, the first one.

Go to Guides, look at "unroot/restore", PASSIMG.ZIP method. Execute.

If it doesn't flash the PASSIMG - post the error it gives.

If it does and you're on Eclair - congratulations, work your way from there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick Nasty:
I see 26 images. I assume this one is it "Passion-EPE54B.zip"? Seeing as the first one is ATT. Thank you for pointing me to this wiki. Can't wait to try it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Did you try selecting clear storage?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick Nasty:
@ SiN Well, it's weird. In recovery I can wipe storage, cache and dalvic cache. I wiped everything that could be wiped. And still got errors on any rom I tried.

So in fastboot adb I tried

fastboot erase userdata

and I get an error FAILED. But when I do

fastboot erase cache

it says OK!

I'm gonna try what Jack suggest right now....I will post update in a few hours? LOL, I'm @ work and will try to get this to work from these PCs :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The passimg you used, it wasn't a zip within a zip was it? That can cause the blue bar thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick Nasty:
So the .zip I used was the second from the top in the stock rom wiki. I think EPF45, and I get an error. I renamed it to PASSIMG.zip (made sure its not a zip of a zip) and got the red status bar. One error...."cannot unzzip .zip" see picture. Now I get static x screen that turns to pixelated dust. LOL...almost there. I guess its a rom region thing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Try:

Repeat several times.

Looks like your system partition fails when attempting write. Might be a failed partition, might be something recoverable.

Then try to apply PASSIMG again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick Nasty:


EDIT: I tired

and it says

Haha, man this fool really did a number on it. He said he installed pinochle from the market and then it stopped booting. IDK

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I would say that you need to install the right hboot first, but I'm very nervous because I don't know what you have, and there's probably a huge potential to brick your phone...

How did your phone get like this?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Here's a link to the wiki. The info you are asking for is under unroot/restore (passimg method).

THIS IS YOUR DECISION, AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

Your phone does not look like any Nexus I have seen or heard of (maybe a fake?). Unless you know what your phone is, and the software already installed, you run a high risk of bricking it...

Well my phone was on repair(MOTHERBOARD CHANGE)and strange thing happens. Before it was heating a lot while simultaneously charging and surfing, but now the heat is completely gone. I know this heat is common on ammoled screens so I wonder what they did. They didn't change it to slcd for sure because the pinkish tint is still there. I don't mind but woud like to know what happened
[Desire General] ljesh:
I guess they... changed the motherboard?

Motherboard is the source of the heat.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
well this is really interesting (to me :D)

I'm using CM nightly, so it comes with ADW launcher

When I slide the home button (when in drawer) or drawer button (when at home screen) upward, the dock disappears, and even restarting ADW launcher doesn't help to bring it back...

Could someone please suggest how to bring the dock back again?

And also I'd like to know, what advantage does that function do..

thanks a lot :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwig:
Go to where the app button is supposed to be and swipe down. I had the same problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
Wow that works

Thanks a lot
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
This is a secondary application dock that you are seeing. Only there are no apps there so it just looks blank. Slide up on the home icon and the quick launch dock/panel appears, you can then drag an app icon to that area and it will stick to the quick launch dock. This is a good spot to keep a calculator, quickboot, titanium back-up; whatever you want.

Hi guys,

I created a site ( http://android.hd2roms.com ) that lists all the current android builds for HD2. The site tries to give a bird's eye view of the latest updates of each build along with links to their threads.

The build information is automatically refreshed from the "XDA Android Development" thread every 15 minutes. Let me know what you think about the site and any features that you would like to see

[Windows Phone 7 General] johnlujl123:
It's official! WP7 is set to launch on Oct. 11. Now, do you think WP7 will fail as some do think so? If yes, then why would it fail? If not, what are the reasons that it would NOT fail?

Personally, I don't like the way how the GUI of WP7 looks. That's my main turn-off. Also, I don't find the startscreen so useful. Everything that small (those live tiles) can't provide you sufficient info when staring the startscreen at a glance. And yes, I don't know much about it 'cause it's not even launched yet. But based on all the previous videos I've seen until now, I can say that the final version of WP7 will more or less be the same as those on the test units. So now, this is just my opinion.

Again, sum up your reason(s) why WP7 would (NOT) fail. :D

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have nothing against anyone who likes WP7. This is just a topic. So remember to have respect for every XDA-member!!!

AND IGNORE POST #2, MY THREAD HAS A POLL, SO IS DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME!!

I don't think it is gonna fail. It will just lose some of its base of advanced tech-users, but bring on board far more people who have never used a smartphone before or those who are changing to WinMo from another OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
It won't fail because it has the advantage of the iOS' closed ecosystem (meaning every app will work for every WP7 handset, while offering people hardware choices)

The main reason the people I know bought an Android device over an iOS device, was purely because they did not want to look like 75% of the population with an iPhone, and basically wanted something 'different'. Most are regretting it because they think Android, overall, just looks and feels cheap. The overall user experience and apps/games don't seem to look that good compared with iOS offerings.

While WP7 will NOT have some features like copy&paste, tethering missing, majority of consumers will hardly use it anyway (iPhone is a good example).

edit: 'NOT' in last sentence lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
I have no idea.

I think the idea that the platform will 'fail' is just silly (mostly for the stupid reasons people give) but I'm not 100% certain that it will catch on with the general public yet. I could definitely be convinced, but I'll wait until Monday for that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Brainio:
Why would it fail?

I think people want it to fail because it's Microsoft and they are not Apple!!!

I for one will wait until it's released and will make up my own mind, although judging by what I have seen of it so far, it shows a lot of promise.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Here on xda it's rather Google, not Apple. Being an Apple fanboy is lowly for a nerd, so local fanboys go for Google.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
Well, it's still the same "It's Microsoft, they are evil, and everything they create sucks..." thinking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tkolev:
It is doomed to fail at least for me. Having read the specs it's too similar to the IOS (the earliest versions - no copy/paste?!?) and they will be competing directly with Apple for the same market. iPhone has been and will be the user's phone (you can't do anything wrong with it simply because you can't do anything with it) and those people would never go with Microsoft. With WM7 Microsoft will loose the majority of its advanced users to Android and will gain just a few from Apple. Not because WM7 phones will be worse than iPhone, but because they can't market their product like Apple does. They almost had me believe that Apple invented videocalls... over WiFi ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
It's not going to fail.

The phones are good, the most important apps (except navigation) will be there and the OS is okay.

They'll need good marketing, but Microsoft can afford that.

It won't surpass Android (which simply is the better OS and has a big head start), but it will surpass the proprietary operating systems.

If WP7 becomes #2 that's a success. I definitely think it has the potential, because the market is still growing like crazy and the proprietary systems can't satisfy the demand for hardware choice, availability etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vzachari:
I believe WP7 post release progress is going to be very enthralling to follow.

I agree that the absolute essential apps are there but not that much choice of apps all together compared to the competition.

Phones are good but also the competition is good and for some reason I don't believe MS is aiming at surpassing the proprietary OSs ( Dumb-phones if got this right). I think they want to compete with Apple and Google.

The issue is that although less capable WP7 cannot get substantial developer support while its unreleased. So MS is releasing it to start a community going while they upgrade and improve on the go, post release. The catch is that the available competition is currently more attractive in general. As such I believe MS will have to somehow keep WP7 alive in its beginning stages with the potential of loss up until the moment they are on parr with the features, apps and a Market substantially large to self propel the OS.

I have my pocorn ready and I am ready to see how things go :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
Proprietary OSs are iOS, Blackberry, webOS. WP7 has the potential to surpass them, which would be a success (i.e. not fail).

If WP7 fails, Android will own the market similar to Windows on PCs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Dont know about others but I intend to actually enjoy my device for what it does when I get it and not sit around pondering whether it is doomed or not. Too many people are sitting around thinking about success and failure, probably wont even get past the start screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vicie:
I dont think it will fail, only The sd card missibg thing is ****
[Windows Phone 7 General] twitch351:
I believe it won't fail to the general public (Non-Smart phone people) for the simplicity and the power behind these devices. :cool:

But personally it will fail me and most of the people I know who have actually had experience with a smart phone for one simple reason, they enjoy the ability to make it theirs, unlike an Iphone and the soon to be WP7. In my opinion I think that Jobs and Gates are trying to compete to see who can have their Phones look like their MP3 players the most, in the sense of the UI.

Although I do not like the UI if there was a possibility of downgrading the UI to WM 6.5, I would jump on it :D But that's most likely not possible. So I'd either buy an Android phone or wait to see if you can port Android off of WP7...Either way it should be interesting to see. :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
So when all smartphones look like mp3 players, you prefer the crappiest cheapest looking one. That's logic.

[Windows Phone 7 General] johnlujl123:
So, 15 vote "YES" and 36 vote "No". Temporary conclusion: roughly 1/3 of the people say WP7 will fail. So this mean WP7 surely will not surpass Google's Android mobile OS, along with the fact that Android is gaining momentum very rapidly. It's gonna be a pity for MS. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
i think you need to base you conclusions on more than 51 votes all from xda developers as they are a small fraction of smart phone users in the world...
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
I don't think that remark makes any sense but I honestly don't care. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
It will NOT fail and it will NOT surpass Android.

(if you think it's a failure when it doesn't surpass Android, then yes, it WILL fail.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dustinearley:
Android IS the new M$. WP7 and iOS users will be on the same playing field. Not as many apps, not on every device under the sun, but with it's own unique draws and quality hardware.

WP7 will be on a similar level with iOS simply because Microsoft is going to flex a little muscle and give out min. reqs; Creating a more uniform experience.

WP7 won't fail, not any harder than where BBOS is headed, webOS already is, or iOS will eventually go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sdlopez83:
Uniform experiance will drive advanced users away for sure. Great for iphone users and blackberry morons but not for the advanced users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
When watching it live it is hard to say that this will fail. This thing looks good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pickx:
I was reading the headlines in some consumer tech blogs, saw a story about copy and paste hitting WP7 in 2011... and then it hit me.

Microsoft is, sad to say, aping Apple's marketing strategies. They are intentionally withdrawing obvious features that are important but not dealbreaking to the casual user, and will add them at a later time to much media fanfare. This is a direct result of the cheapening and pop-ification of tech media, as pioneered by Jobsian Apple. This would never have been acceptable 10 years ago.

While this isn't a shocker, it's a big warning sign for anyone who is expecting WP7 to be any more open than iOS. Microsoft is not going to stray from Apple's footsteps in any meaningful way
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
Nice conspiracy theory. They felt smart linking worked better, so they went with it. The public said no so they are implementing c&p. It's just listening to consumers.

EDIT:// It's already more open than iOS. It's multiple devices by multiple companies over a variety of carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
I totly agree... i have been reading many peoples posts on pocketnow who are currently iphone 4 owners mostly all are saying they are dumping their iphone for a new wp7, the fact is that people like the latest and gretest and wp7 is it.. i believe there will be lots of iphone and android owners moving to wp7 ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pickx:
And you seriously believe a company the size of Microsoft can't implement copy and paste in, uh, 2 months (or even one if they felt like it)? That multitasking was not properly implemented by release day due of time constraints?

No. Microsoft saw Apple's iOS 4 launch (wallpapers and pseudo-multitasking! hooray!) and figured there's big money in evolutionary upgrades as long as you got the media singing your song. This would all have been completely legitimate, of course, had Microsoft not decided that those evolutionary upgrades contain elementary features already implemented in every modern smartphone OS.

And sure WP7 is more open than iOS, but the whole business model clearly centers around lockdown. I'm certainly not saying a more sandboxed model doesn't have its advantages, just that a significant portion of this site's userbase would take openness over uniformity, stability, eye candy or app support from big-name corporations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
Advanced users have proven to be so few that WM was drowning and lacked developers. We advanced users may have to advance over to upgraded software and start digging into them to see how far these os's can truly advance.:rolleyes:
