[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
....hope we don't lose any more developers. Our phone is discontinued and I've got another year left on my contract. I just read a forum that we're no longer get ANY OTA's. If you downgrade, you must flash back up.

Just curious, why'd the ShadowRom guys leave? I know there was some disagreement about linking to their site, but hell I'll download their rom, sign it (for amon ra people) and post to XDA if that's the only issue. I like to flash and experiment. I want as many options as possible for our EOL devices.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfurr88:
Thanks for the update. Hopefully we still have devs around for a little while longer.. like the other guy stated.. i still have a year left till an upgrade.. lol.. and factory just doesn't cut it with an Eris :-)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrasher:
Hmm

This happens more often than I care to count. I hate, that for whatever reason, developers keep leaving.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnarlyc:
It is the nature of the beast. These fancy pocket computers we have now just don't seem to last long before there's something that is so much more capable out there. And when you sell your current phone and add the 1 or 2 year discounts up, it's hard not to move on.

Besides... There are more up and coming devs than you probably realize. It takes time to learn this stuff.

Oh here we go again. Internet argument. Grabs popcorn
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
Y'all talk about this like it's the end of the world. Look at all the old WinMo phones that still have active development here! What about the G1? That was the first Android phone ever sold commercially. And it's running CM6!

They've even ported over the Hero rom to it with HTC Sense.

Now the down side is our phone is CDMA which means we have several continents of potential developers who don't have our device, but we do have our non-identical twin brother the Sprint Hero which shares 90% of its hardware with the Eris. And the Hero has a pretty active development community. (One reason may be is that Sprint traditionally has lower credit requirements than Verizon and it is easier for people to get phones through them)

Anyway, we have Kaos,Tazz, Conap and a few others others who are churning out stuff left and right for our phones still. Nothing to worry about IMO.

We got Froyo which arrived despite Verizon and HTC saying it just wouldn't work. They also said Android 2 would never fit on a G1 and now they've got Froyo. Apps2SD, Cache2Cache and other great ideas will keep our main memory clear for more stuff. If Kaos continues development on his tool to boot roms from SD cards, we have virtually unlimited storage capacity for bigger and better things.

I am not mad at him leaving and I know i can try another rom, just seemed like his has been by far the fastest and most stable.

Not sure what happened behind the scenes, but maybe he will come back.

His v10.1 was top knotch and super fast.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
Something to do with the XDA people not wanting people going elsewhere for the download, support, info, etc, etc. It's all about page-clicks :D i.e. $$$

If you link to it, the mods will lock or delete it...

Just for the record, you are completely false. I've had multiple meetings with the admins/mods of this site and the issue has been resolved a couple weeks ago. I was wrongly accused, and my posts/threads were wrongly closed. I'll be posting back up on my next release, with external links to my site in place.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Awesome....Shadow is coming back, plus we've got a new AOSP Froyo to try out. If we could only get Listy to come home...Ya hear that? We don't mind if you update your rom less often, or not at all.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 56K:
Well I hope we can get updates back for nonsensikal here.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
I just use the Android-grdlock page to grab all of my Eris roms from xda. I use that instead because I've noticed that Rom threads can disappear, posts and links get removed, and great devs get in fights and disappear also. The only time I refer to the roms thread is if I'm having a major problem, which even then, tends to be in the roms FAQ or answered in some post lol. So one fine day I looked to update my favorite Rom (nonsensikal) and the first post said removed.. "no biggie" I said to myself. "Listyboi must've moved on or got into a flame war that resulted in his thread being closed" It's not a shame to see him leave tho, because now he'll be working on things for other groups of people that'll be just as happy as we were with his work. It's a good thing to see devs move on. It means their learning more and trying new things, and thats what ultimately keeps this community going. So for now, ill get my nonsensikal from the grdlock site, and wait. For what you may ask? Well, for any number of our up and coming devs to create new and groundbreaking things for Eris. Possibly a reliable 2.2 sense Rom, or a version of Linux debian that runs on our phones solidly. The possibilities are endless and as long as there's and xda site, there will be the masses learning, teaching, and creating for every phone here.

I'm so sick of this. Picasa, Twitter, Photobucket... all of these pieces of garbage just give me a link to their website where I have to jump through hoops to get the direct image url. ANybody found something better?

I'm so annoyed by this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smthkat789:
Imageshack, they have it
[G2 and Desire Z General] user1307:
I swear you can get the direct link from photobucket? I use it all the time..

But, can't you also just right click the image and get its address?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Searched for imageshack in the market.. their app (yFrog) sucked. But another app that came up called URLy seems to actually do this with very little hassle! Finally, I can sleep at night.

[Desire General] pawel_kd:
It is an brand Desire, I rooted, I loaded custom rom (worked fine), but the ROM manager screwed up something. I guess, it reflashed the bootloader (or recovery?), but failed.

Now the desire cannot boot. It stucked at the screen, with logo.

The bootloader says :

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-5.10.05.23

If I try to go to RECOVERY the screen goes white, and nothing happens.

If I put the PB99IMG.zip to SD card, the HBOOT finds it, but says, "Main version is older"

Is any way to reFlash the rom ?

What to do ? :confused:
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
have your tried installing a RUU then restarting all over again?
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
Yep, I tried, in USB_HBoot and USB_FastBoot mode (only available for me) but I`v got error (152 or 170).

Should I use some specific version RUU ?
[Desire General] xtcislove:
U should read all NEwbie Threads more carefully again and again ! If u do this nothing can go wrong !U have to easily reflash the recovery! Just use Google!
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
From that I read, to make reflash the recovery You need a loaded sytem.

This is what I do not have :(

Or I'm wrong... :eek: - Then please help me :cool:
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
Have you tried

while in bootloader mode?

*note* you will have to download the android sdk, copy the recovery image into the tools folder, start cmd in tools folder and then type that command in.
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
Yes, I know sdk - already tried - I get protection error, not flashed.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
He has S-on. That will not work.

I think you need to try and find a rom which contains your HBOOT and try and flash that.

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
Right my bad :P

anyway, have you tried other PB99IMG.zips ?

[Desire General] pawel_kd:
:( For me it sounds like recovery did not successfully flash from unrevoked - but how can I unscrew this ?!? :(

:D Now, I launched successfully RUU under USB_Fastboot ! :D

But I tried a number of stock images-roms (with GoldCard - my phone is brand one) and each time I get error :mad::

140:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR - on Desire screen : "Main Version is older"

My rom version: 2.15.118.1

:confused: What can be done ??? How to beat it ? :confused:
[Desire General] excogitation:
Sorry for the previous inappropriate answer.

So if you can still boot to hboot just install the drivers from here

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

assumed you're running Windows and then root using:

http://unrevoked.com/#desire

After that you can install basically whatever you want (don't install stuff not matching your phone though) from the recovery

menu.

Good luck
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
Unfortunately I am not able to use Recovery option :(:

As I wrote:

"If I try to go to RECOVERY I see logo for 2 sec., after screen goes black and nothing happens (The compters sees the Android USB Devices-My HTC)."

:(

Any other ideas ?????
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You've been told what to do on Androidforums so I'd suggest following that
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
You mean this :confused::

You have a bit of a problem then. You could try a branded update with a higher release number (e.g. Three's froyo), and then downgrade that.

But I can not find update with higher rel. than 2.15.118.1 :(
[Desire General] Jalalben:
Hi! I'm a new member and this is my first post :o!!!

When the screen goes black, did you try to hold the volume up button when pressing the power button. May be ...

I think the same happened to me when i tried to unlock my Desire. I juste had te redo it until it worked.
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
I made a little progress - I have access to recovery, then I press VolUp+Power there is op screen:

E:/Can`t open /cache/recovery/command

I tried fake-recovery but its impossible to flash-error - flash aborted.

Can I do something now and maybe and solve my problem?
[Desire General] pawel_kd:
So, I give up :mad:

I`m sending the phone to an authorized service.

We'll see - warranty success or not (

Thanx 2ever1 for time :) and help :)
[Desire General] Jalalben:
Give it another try, may be...

Sorry mate! Didn't read your answer till now. Did you try other RUUs. There's a bunch of them in that URL: shipped roms (it is somewhere in the forum juste search it) for Bravo.

For me, to upgrade from the stock "Eclair", i used this one "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed" and it worked just fine (before that i upgraded via stock zip to froyo but the unrevoked didn't work). Then i re used the unrevoked3 and it worked in third attempt.

I guess, there was a problem in the way the phone handels the transfer of data (USB dosen't act quick enough to send the right amount of data). So the first time when my phone bouted up, it couldn't get all data from the unrevoket script at the right speed so it continued booting with the old version of recovery prog without routing.

After it worked, i upgraded my radio to the "32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14" via recovery and zip (found somewhere in the forum) and it was ok.

At least give it another try. It's all yours.
[HD2 General] tkato:
There have been many reports concerning the long term usage of android and it's effects on WinMO, but, I've read some reports regarding usage of android effecting the device itself, mainly the digitizer, causing it to malfunction, are these reports frequent? and does android truly effect the hardware itself in some way?
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Could you link to these reports please......

Im curious..........

Cheers......
[HD2 General] toriks:
i may add one side-effect. My leo's windows button clicks when i push and it pushes the home button. To much option usage caused this i think :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
This whole thing just sounds ridiculous.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Not convinced myself.

Would like to see whats got the OP in a panic though........

I do sometimes find that my clock/calendar is altered sometimes after returning from android...... no serious problems though

I fail to see how it could possibly affect the digitiser though..........:confused:
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
I use android for months, my digitizer works just fine. Just be kind to your phone, and android will live long and ever after :D
[HD2 General] Reno_79:
I get that too, I thought it was just me being heavy handed tho.
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
Yes thats why I am looking for a back and home navigation bar like iphone, it would be better for our buttons. It doesnt have to be iphone style, as long as it works, i would even want to do the graphics if sb could code it..
[HD2 General] boomboomer:
I can confirm that using Android will lead to memory issues, energy levels dropping very quickly and conflicts in the processor stack - but only for the human using the phone trying to find a build that does it all!

Seriously though I think the only danger is to WM, not the hardware (unless you overclock) and that comes from booting the kernel. WM shuts down real fast, any ongoing registry writes etc may corrupt so best disable sense and all apps before pushing the Android button.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
This is a basic guide to troubleshoot issue with the Galaxy S (and other devices as well)

STEP 1

Elliminate hardware issue

Since a lot of unoficials firmware are "available" to anyone, you should always start by installing the

latest official firmware

. Betas, PreRelease and the likes comes with limited support, unstable releases and not fully tested. You'll have to elliminate this source from start if you really want to troubleshoot the isse.

So, Install a stock rom, clean all data and start from a fresh and unstained basis.

If you DO have massive lag

(like in this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fds9eccI9OA)

with stock and clean firmware, don't even go further. You are suffering from an hardware failure. Get it replace and be done with it.

STEP 2

Apps Install

Still on the official FW, reinstall all apps you had in previous release. You should install them

One By one

and test in between. Since Android is pretty "open source", we are the "qualitiy control" of the apps we install. Some might be the source of the error.

This is a pretty long process if you run / install many apps. But then, if you intend to fix the issue, you might as well take the time to troubleshoot it.

And, while you're at it, you could probably take the time to clean down your applications need ;) Stick with what you need at first. Then expand to the "extras", then expand to the apps "Just to have a look"

STEP 3

Beta / Pre Release Firmware

If you have the heart to deal with it and when you are

100% sure

that you don't have issues with stock FW and with all your apps, you can take a peak at

testing

pre release FW. So, if you have issue with

PreRelease

you can easely conclude to the source.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
excellent topic.

people should follow these guidelines when trying to figure out what went wrong before accusing the hardware to be at fault
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
For people with issues on power drain during IDLE, perform a HARD RESET then flash to the latest OFFICIAL FIRMWARE in your region and perform another HARD RESET and dont install anything else, disable 3G and see if the problem persists.

The reason why we need to disable 3G is that It can be very unpredictable with battery usage since it tries to pull more power if the 3G signal is quite low.

Normally about 8hrs of PURE IDLE, should just eat 1% battery life the very most.. if your from 100% it may take upto 12-14hrs before that first 1% gets drained.

[Off-topic] KajolThappar:
I searched on internet, and find many suppliers, some of them is in HONGKONG, and some in China. As far as I know hongkong is belong to China if i am not wrong.

Some claimed that they are in hongkong, but their website name includes China, like Chinabuye, Chinavasion, ePathChina etc. I like these sites. But I really have some concern to choose China supplier or Hongkong supplier, please advise if you know it. thank you!
[Off-topic] lonelykatana:
Most probably, they buy their stock from mainland china (where prices are cheaper), import it into hongkong (Which has more relaxed laws on trade ect, because up till 1998 I think, it was a 'part of the UK') And then sell it on from Hongkong.

Allot of my photography equipment has been sold to me from hongkong based sellers and I've had no problems. You should be fine, as long as they are clearly a dodgie dealer lol :)
[Off-topic] aryansadna:
hongkong or china

Well, i had experience with both these country suppliers, so i dont find any difference as of countries, except for suppliers in same country. I usually buy from Chinabuye, they are from China, i find rates and quality are good. But Chinavasion i find the rate is costly, they are from China too. So it depends on suppliers, not on countries.

its not necessarily a marketing ploy to get more money, if anyone here has done any research or read about it they would know the x10 HD is the exact same phone as the x10 (hardware n all) it just has 2.1 (which supports hd video recording).

and obviously since the 2.1 update is supposed to come out next week they will be advertising it like crazy since its something people have been waiting for.
[XPERIA X10 General] stanleycup:
Exactly. I don't get what the big deal. It's just a rebranding, just like how the HTC Magic was renamed the Magic+ here in Canada by Rogers when it got its Sense UI.

pointless thread, close it please :\
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
If the point of marketing isn't to generate more money for your company, then what is it?
[XPERIA X10 General] Basharca:
Guys chill out! This should be considered great news for X10 owners, simply because if SE advertises the same X10 after the upgrade to 2.1 as a new phone. This means it will likely be upgraded to Froyo! Therefore, if it gets 2.2 you will also get 2.2 right ?

So actually this is good news, and it will be a pleasure if this device gets Froyo, because it rocks already! By the way if you don't mind me asking, where exactly did you capture this picture?
[XPERIA X10 General] RoNaLD90:
I also see it as a marketing strategy is simple you add something different to the existing product and ready .. thousands more sales.

but that comment you said you opened my eyes and you're right ..:eek: if Sonyericsson sell it as new phone is very possible that give new upgrade for the "new buyers" :D

Let's hope so! would be great news
