k amac10 used odin and now it will boot to the galaxy s screen then go black and stay that way but the buttons at the bottom of the screen will light up. but it still stays black. any body know a solution using linux since my windows vista part of my laptop crashed after an update and i'm fighting with windows on how to fix it. i've been trying to see if there was any software for ubuntu to do the same thing as odin. but no luck so far.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Using a windows machine w/ ODIN:

Flash "eugene's froyo that doesn't brick"

Then "JACs stock rom"

From there you should be back to out of the box status. All links & resources can be found in the "ROM bible" thread

+1 for this advice. This is my standard method now for backing myself out of a dumb corner I've stuck myself in with this phone. Can do it in my sleep now! :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Haha... Well put! My usual flash process:

-DL new ROMs @ night over wifi

-Wake up, read the early adaptors reviews

-flash ROM, brush teeth

-flash other goodies....

From here I'm usually good to go by the time I hop out the shower if all is well. If not:

-get eugenes froyo loaded, shower

-flash JACs stock nand, fix breakfast

-push /sdcard back in, eat

-go back to previous ROM, leave for work... Lol

I think that most ppl "freak" at first cause the initial setup is *****! GL to the OP, that should work though :D

Sorry I did not search cuz my internet connection is limited so i don't know if anyone has posted the issue here apologyze!

I have an HTC Touch Viva

ROM: 1.26.707.2 WWE

Radio: 03.29.90

Protocol: 4.1.13.66

This one has never been flashed a custom rom, ive tried to flash a rom but i can't bcuz it is not recognized on the pc, I DOES NOTHING! Is there a way to flash a hard spl or custom rom without usb connection? Thanks in advance.

is this device succesfully sync with the computer using ActiveSync (with a cable).

i can recommened following:

> Check Activesync working properly

> If not, check drivers are installed

> in the phone, Connections > Disable 'Enable Fast Data Connection' under ActiveSync options, sometimes, it works

> Check data cable, try with another cable, try another computer maybe

> Try reset, switch on the phone, while connected to the computer.

format ur memory SD with FAT32

change RUU-Sighend.nbh to OPALIMG.nbh and place it in the root of memory SD

go to bootloder then the rom flashs.then restart with pressing Stylus

not: u must had HSPL before

do at ur own risk (but i tasted)

[Vibrant General] nearblack:
So... I just noticed something.

Whenever I am running some application on my phone... and I press the home button, it is a little choppy in getting back to the home screen (90% of the time). There is no lag, as it gets there very fast, but isn't a smooth transition.

However, if I ever press the back button... all the way to home, the transition is much smoother, and not choppy at all.

Anyone else seeing the same trend... and more importantly does anyone know why?

The whole thing is just a pet peeve of mine, as the choppy feel just bothers me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 17:
Dumb question, but would it be fine to keep the newest PRI/PRL, and other software updates but flash older radios?

I was just a bit worried about any incompatibility issues. With the latest updates, my 3G cuts off more frequently.

I did not do any explicit testing but I remember being able to hit 2.5 Mbps while tethering on older radios, now I only hit about 200-300 kbps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
I would advise you not to flash radios once you have the newest. I believe it will brick your phone. However I could be wrong.

I remember downgrading used to brick the G1's or was it the spl, or both...I forget.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I've been told unequivocally (though I haven't actually tried it) that flashing any radio will NOT brick your phone. I remember asking when I was going to upgrade, because if I ended up with worse signal I wanted to be able to come back, and several power-users said it's no problem. At least nothing beyond the normal danger of flashing radios. Never pull the battery, radio flashes actually reboot the phone before they finish, sometimes more than once.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i can also confrim that flashign a radio will not brick your phone if done properly. when the radio with the 1.43 came out (seem sliek forever ago now) many had issues with Mac addresses etc and rolled back.

Now i will say that some roms may not work with older radios. I beleive that if the rom is based off of a certain update it may need that radio or newer as well but i cant confirm. All i can say is you should be ok to flash an older radio and see what happens and unless something has changed since 1.43 to cause your phone to brick you should have no issue doing so.

I am trying to use SWM to install the DroidXIME-nonroot.apk on an HTC Aria using Windows XP.

When I choose the file I get the ready to install screen but when I push ok I get the following error:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continure, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Could not find a part of the path [my chosen path]

When I click continue I'm brought to the home SWM page but am unable to click Go.

I read that this is because I need the MDAC program for Windows. However, I was told I am unable to install the download because of my version of windows. I then read that I needed to overcome this problem by doing a windows service pack update; which I did. However, I am getting the same problem and am beyond frustrated.

Can someone help me please????
[HD2 General] denraweb:
So I installed this rom > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797546 this morning and everything was working fine. Texted, talked, got voicemail, email worked, everything. No problems. Restored my messages/contacts/etc. after I did the flash as well. All this was about 7am.

At 9am, I got a random pop up while trying to read a text and I can't remember exactly what it said, but was something to the effect of "blah blah blah could'nt be opened and will now be closed". But when I clicked ok, it was flicker once really fast and still be there. So I pressed the windows key and went to open task manager and another pop up appeared and said the same about task manager. So I went to restart it (pressing and holding the end key and selecting appropriate action) and it just went black. Went to turn it back on and nothing. I plug it into a charger or computer and nothing, at all. No lights, nothing. Removed battery, nothing. Only hint of fate I got was when i removed the memory card, and sim card, and tried again, it continuously vibrated, but still nothing on the screen or any lights, just vibration. Is this a brick? I can't even get into the bootloader, so can't reflash another rom.... Help?
[HD2 General] marduk79:
It's hard to try and guess what the problem that you are encountering is. My 1st question would be if which version of the HD2 do you own? Is it the Tmobile version or the international version. There are roms that are specific to each device and it's crucial to know which one you are installing. Based on your signature, it seems like you may be on a CDMA network whereas Tmobile is GSM. But that doesn't quite explain why you were able to text and call for sometime before the crash. I suggest you retrace your steps following the flash guide found here--->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653614 Specially if this is your first flash. Try to provide some more information, (HSPL used, rom you were running before, etc...) So that we can help you better.

Best of luck.
[HD2 General] denraweb:
Using tmobile hd2, thats why I posted in the tmo section.

Disregard my siggy, no longer even own that phone. This is probably my 10th+ flash on this phone alone, and I didn't do anything differently when I flashed this time around. I don't even look for roms in the non-tmo forum. Been on tmobile for about 5 months now using this phone and only this phone. All the roms I have used in the passed were perfectly fine. Last rom I was using before the one that messed up my phone was AthineOS. Also ran fine, just didn't like the battery drainage and the mms pics being super small when I recieved them. Plus didn't like the interface too much.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I think what he meant was if your phone was bought from T-Mobile USA or overseas.

It's not the radio, so the term bricked doesn't really apply. It sounds to me like it just kicked the bucket. The good news is if you can't get into bootloader mode tmo/htc will never know you installed hspl. Which means you can call T-Mobile and get it replaced under your insurance. Just make sure you can't get into bootloader to avoid the $100 software change fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

i'm going to be getting the seidio battery 'cause i really need the extra battery life on my phone. but i dont like the idea of not having a case on the phone. i also recently did the whole scraping the black paint off the plastic to show the red. so i was thinking one of those clear gel cases would be nice to 1)protect the phone 2) while showing off the black/red/black look.

could we/has anyone cut the back of a soft/gel case to fit the extra bulk of the seidio battery, leaving a space in the middle for the battery part to come out while everything else is protected by the case?

let me know of your experiences and/or ideas on this:)
[EVO 4G Accessories] skittlesV1:
sounds like a great idea, Ill probably do the same thing, But you gotta think of some way to keep the battery within the phone, since it will be exposed, Maybe a little peice of screen or reusing the cut way gel
[EVO 4G Accessories] Max_Pain:
i dont get what you mean.

doesnt the seidio battery come with a battery cover? i would assume this battery cover would snap in place like the stock one and the phone could be used as is. adding a gel cover on top wouldn't mess with that. the only reason i'm thinking of cutting the hole would be to fit a case that I dont otherwise think i'll find to fit the seidio battery...
[EVO 4G Accessories] skittlesV1:
Oh I was assuming that you weren't going to use the back cover. But yeah that sounds like a good idea.

What your seeing is the entire tpu on these style of case. The rest (back cover) is actually made of hard plastic. You can tell with the plastic being clear while the tpu is smoke color.

Here is how you do it.

Grab the Odin that flashes you back to STOCK firmware.

Download RyanZA's program and root the phone.

Install Clockwork.

Put the Cognition Zip on the SD card, and select it from Rom Manager/Clockwork.

Flash the phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
1. you cannot go from 2.2 to another 2.2 without going to stock first (you at least need the kernel, so its easiest just to odin one click it). clockworkmod/rom manager DOES NOT WORK with 2.2. that is just the way it is for now.

2. it is always good to copy everything from your sdcard over to your computer for a backup and do a master clear or reset to factory format.

3. root it. there are one click methods, there are update.zip methods, and as mentioned you can just dl ryanZA's OCLF (DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT TO ADD THE LAGFIX, as it will all be overwritten anyway, dont waste your time)

4. install ROM MANAGER, open it, and click on FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. select captivate

5. put cog.zip file on sdcard (NOT THE EXTERNAL SDCARD, the 13gb one that shows up on your PC)

6. reboot into recovery mode (use adb reboot download, or an app called quickboot, or use the rom manager and click on REBOOT RECOVERY MODE)

7. if green clockwork screen does not come up right away, and you are on a blue text screen, click on reinstall packages, it should boot into clockwork (sometimes this takes a second 'reinstall packages')

8. once in clockwork recovery, select install zip from sdcard, point it to your cog.zip file and bam!

9. profit

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
No Odin will not wipe everything. You need to Master Clear to get rid of anything left over from previous flashes. You need to do a factory reset and you should have signal, remove your SIM before resetting, just to be safe, backup any files you want to keep onto your pc because factory reset will wipe everything and you can't get it back. Power your phone on after you remove your SIM card and do the factory reset. If that dosen't work you may need to flash a modem to get back signal. Which version of Cognition are you running?
