OK so I completly went thru FastRx8's full evo root tutorial! Got all the way to the last point where where I just needed to install the new rom. I had already downloaded the EVO-nonsense rom by TJohnsonjr and it was already on my SD. Well when I do to install it, it tells me that it aborted and now I am stuck on the Fastboot USB screen. Can someone pleasehelp me, I dont know what else to do!!! Thanks!

Have you tried using a card reader and loading a different rom or renaming it as an update zip?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamikam:
u can always try to reinstall the ruu and then re root again.

if that fails try this:

u need to have android sdk.

second... u need the rom.zip that is in the ruu...

here is a link i gave someone a while back for the 3.26 version:

http://www.multiupload.com/2J60VQYJ25

now...

plug up the phone to the pc.

type in

1. fastboot oem rebootRUU

2. fastboot erase cache

3. fastboot flash zip filelocation\rom.zip

4. if #3 fails... just type it in again and wait till its done.

5. fastboot reboot.

done.

if adb recognize your phone u can skip that and just push a pc36img.zip and fastboot will do the job for u pretty much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veteran06:
OK I kind of understand and kinda dont. If I cannot get to my SD because the computer is not reading the phone how can I do the re-install and re-root???

Also where would I type steps 1-3?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Pull the card out of your phone, use a reader or an adapter to connect it to your computer.

Like aamikam said, you need the sdk to try the command stuff. Once you have it, open a command line from the tools folder and that's where you type everything.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveCheeseman:
What are the risk of flashing third party roms onto your device. For the iPhone if you have problem jailbreaking or something you can simply put the iPhone into DFU and restore the phone and you can't really brick the phone. If there's a problem with the flashing process is there way to brick the phone?

On a ride note, does anyone know if the rooting process is the same for the Rogers captivate and the At&t captivate are the same
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmehDean:
I can only assume that the process/risks are the same as the AT&T versions. As long as you are able to get your phone into "Download Mode", the phone is recoverable. The only risk I would say is 'time'. There is a lot required in the knowledge of flashing ROMs. It is not meant for a beginner, but easy enough that you can learn...O yea, the process of rooting technically voids your warranty. But you can flash to stock and unroot and AT&T probably would have no clue that you did anything like that. Rogers, I can only assume, is the same.

My widgets keep disappearing, help!

To prevent widgets from being removed, you’ll have to move their associated application back onto phone memory – to do this see FAQ #2

How do I move certain apps back onto phone memory?

You can move any application onto phone memory by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > On SD card, select the app you want and press Move to Phone

How can I revert to the original settings?

Just open Command Prompt/Terminal and type: adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

Any other hidden commands?

There’s one more to force all apps to install to phone memory, but I doubt you’ll ever want to use it: adb shell pm setInstallLocation

More TIPS:

From: http://hemorrdroids.net/galaxy-s-hints-tips/

Here are a few tips that work on the Samsung Galaxy S that you might not have been aware of. Some of them might be general tips, others will only work on the SGS. Read on for details…

Press the top of the screen, so the notification bar appears, but don’t pull down. Slide your thumb to the left or the right to lower or raise the brightness. This wont work if your set to automatic brightness.

Have the title and artist announced by the built in Music Player by holding down the volume up button.

When watching a video, or in the camera app, press the power button to lock the device while leaving the screen playing. Press power once more to unlock.

When in contacts, slide the contact name to the left to send a message or to the right to start dialing them.

Hold menu for a second to bring up a quick search box. (Because the SGS has no search button)

When using your Camera, use your volume up and down keys to zoom in and out.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Now when you say "log in" do you mean when you sign into Google Voice and go through the automatic setup? You usually get a notification saying that automatic configuration is not supported. You just need to follow the steps on the Google Voice website for setting up forwarding of missed calls to GV. After that, just go to "Menu -> Call -> Voicemail Service -> Google Voice" to set it as your default.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volsey:
I was dumb enough to root my phone and try using some custom roms just to get a black notification bar and a couple other things. Thats literally all I wanted. Used Cyan, couldnt get notification bar to change color so went back to original. Anyways thought I'd try flashing the black desire bar or w/e, and failed.

Tries booting up and gets half stuck on the nexus 'X' animation loop. It gets really laggy and studders, never fully completing the loop. So I say eff it after fifteen or so minutes and reboot to recovery. Only it's the stock android recovery, not that clockwork one? So I'm lost, can't flash back to original, and decide i'll just try the factory reset. I have no time for this stuff at this point, and just want my phone so I can talk to people.

Did factory reset/wipe option, and still nothing, stuck on boot. Don't know what to do and I would greatly appreciate some help or advice. Honestly would be so sad if this $500 phone is a paperweight.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkyur:
Dude relax,

1.First boot to superboot

2.Flash your clockwork (Or any other recovery). DONT REBOOT.

3.Go straight to recovery,

4.Restore your nandroid back up,

--- If you dont have back up then you have to download rom what you want (Stock froyo can be found some where in htc site)

--- Select mass storage option in the recovery and copy there the zip file, then flash it.

Tadaa everything is working again
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read my signature, "unroot / restore your Nexus", and execute. If you have ever updated to FRG83, you might be out of luck and no PASSIMG.ZIP will flash. In this case, you'll need to connect using ADB and run flash_image to flash recovery (most probably you'll get adb shell even if your phone isn't finishing boot - just make sure you run adb shell early enough in the boot). Once you've flashed the recovery, get into it and proceed with a custom ROM. If you flash stock again, your recovery will be lost again. If you didn't set up ADB (enable "USB Debugging" option on your phone) - then you're seriously out of luck. If you have it, but don't know how to use it - spend time reading and understanding "flashing Recovery" guide in the same place from my signature (Wiki), and if you have any further questions along the way - ask here.

You're not booting up because you've screwed up framework-res.apk and possibly some other system files - so you're stuck in boot loop. Need to read and understand what you're doing before you're doing it. It's really not that hard, and not willing to spend enough time understanding things "pays off" if mishaps happen - and they happen.

He can't boot! Do you read what I read? He's stuck in a bootloop! What boot are you talking about?!

Take your time reading before you rush answering with wrong and incomplete instructions that won't get the OP anywhere. A good portion of mishaps happens because of instructions like these.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volsey:
This is alot for me to take learn in such quick time to be honest.

I can't even get adb to recognize my phone and i've followed all the steps. My computer makes the noise that something has been plugged in through USB, but nothing else. Under that program to uninstall drivers, I try uninstalling them, but they just stay there, nothing changes.

As for the USB debugging and me being ****ed, I'm pretty sure I left that on.

Maybe it would help me if I told you more about what I know and what I've done.

Literally just followed the step by step instructions from this site theunlockr.com/ to root my phone and use a custom rom.

In the process it made me install PDANet (again probably means nothing, but I don't know).

If adb isn't recognizing my phone, I can't flash using it. Again thank you for the help, as I really am clueless about most stuff like this.

Most of the time when doing anything that could possibly do any harm to a device, I am very cautious. I have hacked several PSP's and didn't think this would be much different...

I read all about the rooting, and knew full well all i wanted to do was get a new notification bar, I didn't really read into the rest as I had no desire or use for that information. Then everything went well, and I learnt how easy it was to go back if I screwed up or didn't like what I had flashed. Not to mention people saying it's near impossible to brick your phone unless your really trying to. Maybe that was just me being ignorant, this could not have happened at a worse time. And I cannot thank you enough for your help thus far.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volsey:
Thank you for the help. Your guides were very helpful. But unfortunately every step of the way I have run into some sort of problem.

When trying to install the sdk drivers, it won't let me install the amd64 or the i386, but only both of them together. As in it selecting usb_drivers installs (where both of the seperate drivers can be found). I don't know if this is right or not.

When typing in "fastboot devices", "HT036P901361 decives" shows up, but when viewed in USBDeview, 2 of the 3 HT036P901361 drivers show as not connected. The only one that shows as connected is the "vendor specific" one.

Also adb devices, shows nothing.

So again, I'm asking for advice or help.

Edit: So I can reboot fastboot through my computer, but cannot flash anything,

typing in "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img" I get a "cannot load recovery.img".

My recovery.img file is saved on the root of the SD card which is in the phone. Is this the correct way to do it? If so I assume it's still because of the issue stated at the beginning of this post (before edit).

Edit 2: Okay decided to try this

fastboot flash recovery C:\CWrecovery.img (where its located on my hdd), and it starts then says failed infoSignature.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Let's get one thing straight. You need to read more, I guess, because you still don't know the basics - and with the lack of knowledge, it's going to be hard to help you.

Fastboot commands and driver only work when you're booted into bootloader - which is, 3 droids on skateboards on white screen and text menu, get there by booting with trackball or volumedown button pressed.

adb works only when you're booting the OS - which means, you don't touch anything and let the phone boot. Right when boot animation starts, adb should also start.

1. That's correct.

2. Are you booting into bootloader? There should be no other way to view fastboot driver. In that case, DON'T boot to bootloader, just reboot your phone and let it loop, and only then try "adb devices". If it works - use the "flash_image" method to flash recovery.

3. Read (2) above.

4. If your bootloader isn't unlocked (does it show a padlock below Nexus logo when you boot?), you won't be able to flash non-standard recovery through fastboot. You might be able to flash a complete system image through fastboot, though. Download a factory image, FRF91 for example, unzip it, then do "fastboot flash system system.img", "fastboot flash boot boot.img", and reboot.

When you flash something, you should open the Command prompt in the same directory as the file you're trying to flash! Or use full path for the image you're flashing. And it should be on the computer, not on SD card.

If everything fails - just unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash anything you want.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volsey:
I am using bootloader.

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (58570 KB)... OKAY [ 8.293s]

writing 'system'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 15.014s

That's the error I'm getting everytime.

I got the system.img from hXXp://developer.htc.com/adp.html, I tried looking for FRF91 but could only find megaupload links, and I had exceeded my limit somehow.

As for adb, still getting no devices when I leave it to boot by itself even though I've:

Uninstalled the 3 drivers, unplugged/rebooted, plugged back in/turned back on, and it automatically installs the wrong drivers again too quickly to do anything about it. I've gone into advanced system settings and checked it to never install system drivers automatically. Tried updating drivers, all say they're up to date.

1)So is bootloader not an option for me? Or is there something else I haven't tried? Why am I getting the signature errors?

2)Is it the drivers that are keeping adb from recognizing my phone? How do I fix this?

Any suggestions?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Ok, looks like USB debugging isn't on. In that case, there are exactly 2 options:

1) from here:

http://developer.htc.com/

Download FRG83 image for Nexus, rename to PASSIMG.ZIP, put on the root of your SD card (you can't use the phone for it, so use SD card reader), reboot into bootloader, it'll ask you to flash system image, answer "yes", wait for it to flash. Keep the phone powered. WAIT.

2) if it doesn't work - you're out of luck. "fastboot oem unlock" it is. Then you can flash whatever you want with fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendo:
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help...

eViL has a wonderful Desire port for the Nexus One, but I have a serious (to me) problem with how HtcContacts displays the recent call history. With the 'normal' aosp contacts.apk the call history correctly reflects what I dial, whereas with the HtcContacts, it shows the google server number that the phone actually calls when using google voice. It does the same thing with Paul's Desire port.

Does the call history work the same for you native Desire owners? I would assume it does...and in a search I didn't come up with anything here. (could've used the wrong criteria I suppose)

Just hoping to find some suggestions from those who've dealt with this much longer than me.

Hi Guys,

i just woke up and noticed that my Desire was off. I usually connect the to the charger before i go to bett, so last night.

I tried turning the phone on but it didnt work on the first try. I pulled the battery and sd card and tried it again after a minute and the phone booted.

Now its running but the battery information screen says 0% and the icon in the notification bar doesnt grow.

Did a battery information wipe from Clockwork Mod - no changes.

Any ideas?

Hi everybody.

Is anybody has a way to retrieve data on a corrupted SD Card. I have a Sandisk 8GB which became corrupted after connecting the phone on an old PC.

All the content is still there I Guess (size of free space/used space is correct) but the name of the SDCard and of each folder and files are like... unreadable :

]░╣j╣Ð.%Ê

I tried HDD regenerator which regenerate ... nothing and Recuva like retriev only some images.

But i have some files very important on this card.

Please is anybody has a solution?

Well, now, tried Handy recovery. I saw my files, I can retrieve them but once retrieved, system said the file is corrupted. I used SPB Backup to create my saves.
[General Questions and Answers] Captainkrtek:

[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
Check out wizcode software. They've got a few options (undelete, unformat, scandisk). I use scandisk all the time, and it does a good job fixing corruption. But when you have screwed up directories, it may be too late.
[General Questions and Answers] Curt911:
Try this software

DDR - Memory Card Recovery

I had a corrupted 16Gig Card and it retrieved all. I could not even see any files on the card and Windows kept telling me to reformat. It costs 50.00.
[General Questions and Answers] MarkAlter:
Hi,

First of all due to virus your card is corrupted and you can see your card like ]░╣j╣Ð.%Ê etc. Check out your anti virus for updated virus definition and scan your system and for your card follow the same way, scan your card , you will get your files back to original and if you could not get them back to original state then you have to use a third party data recovery software.

You can check Kernel for FAT and NTFS software for the same, it will preview you the data in scan mode and if you want then can save the desired files to specific location.
