Help! Market will not run

Hello,

I'm running a stock G2 using Visionary to temproot and then 'pm disable' apps. I don't know what I did, but when I click on the Market icon, it flashes (like the app is starting) and then less than 1 second later the app closes.

Any help is appreciated.

Official HTC G2 T-Mobile ROM

Hello;

How can I get the original official HTC G2 T-Mobile ROM?

ThanX

OK i really hope I get an answer here. I just got an HTC Merge(lexikon). It is no doubt the best looking htc phone ever. :P But i was surprised to find it hasn't been released yet. so now im stuck with the problem of how to permaroot it. I have ran visionary and temprooted it but thats no fun, plus i want to install new roms :D and since the merge is apparently very close to the g2 etc, and is supposed to be in the HTC Vision family of phones, from what ive read, it seems i have to first convert it to something like the G2(something about partitions etc) and then i'll be able to start flashing roms on it.

I have been unable to find a matching RUU for this lexikon, as all RUUs Ive found are older than the version on the phone. The phones splash screen is for US Cellular, however the phone isnt on their site.

some details:

Bootloader screen:

HBOOT - 0.88.0000

RADIO - 1.07.00.1228_2

Dec 2, 2010, 16:07:41

I am experienced with adb and flashing etc, and I'd be happy to work with devs interested in the merge. Any help would be appreciated.

clockwork backup to PC10IMG.zip ?

Is there a way to make a PC10IMG.zip from a clockwork backup? When I get into bootloop trouble and cannot get to recovery all that is left to do is flash my stock unrooted :( PC10IMG.zip from the bootloader. It would be nice to have a more recent, rooted rom to roll back to.

Guess this is not so easy.

You can not just 7zip a cw backup and rename it :(

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
Hi, I was wondering if ANYBODY has ANY IDEA or suggestions as to what to do about a G2 that is stuck being constantly throttled by t-mobile. Got a new sim card, a new g2, and all tmos systems say that my data speeds are no longer being throttled because its my next billing cycle... but in actuality all the throttle files are still on my phone... and my speed (with full 4G) is testing in @ about 0.03 mbps or so.... when I test it with full 2G coverage it goes up to about 0.08 or 9 so I just keep it on 2G... but I mean -- when I got the phone, I was testing @ almost 2.00MBPS... crazy fast. And now there's a BIG difference. tmobile has no clue, and I'm stuck paying for 4G that I don't have.. lol

Root/data/system shows a folder called "throttle" with two .txts inside that come back immediately if deleted, renamed or even if they are removed through terminal or adb on the computer. Some say that these files are implimented through the classes.dex within the services.jar located @ root/system/framework... But with a freshly-flashed ROM you would think that the services.jar from the rom would be clean... and it is... until you boot the phone up! Tmobile somehow immediately edits it OTA no matter which ROM.. I Also tried some thing with editing the services.jar from some guides that I found - only to turn over no results...

Any and all input will be greatly appreciated...

And please don't respond with telling me to change carriers, or call tmobile again. I'm about 150 calls deep to tmo cust care with NO RESULTS OR ASSISTANCE whatsoever. Switching carriers is also not an option for me because I pre-paid for 6 months with flex-pay... and they have already made it clear that I do not get my money back under any circumstances, and that a contract has me for 2 years unless I want to pay the hefty cancelation charge. Carrying over my pre-paid cash in my accout over to cover the cancellation was also not an option. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
If the txt files are the ones which throttle your connection, why don't you simply make the directory read-only for example?

There's also a thread on this forum about removing throttle i remember.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
No alterations can be made to any of the files without them automatically restoring themselves back to the state in which t-mobile wants them. Read-only or otherwise. And as stated in my last paragraph, I have attempted all methods posted. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
So you mean there's something, at boot, which sets a deamon that monitor these files?

Have you tried killing most processes, one by one, until you see no more monitoring (ie files reappearing)?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
Can't find anything abnormal in my running processes... and I'm not saying at boot, but at least first boot that connects to network
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
Erh. You speak about network so that mean there could be something in the radio rom which does that.

I'm wondering... ok something writes these files and you cannot help it. But what is reading it? Wouldn't it be possible to modify the code that reads these files? Or is it also somewhere hiden in the radio partition...

I have no idea.. I'm stumped that's why I'm seeking asistance here! I see here on xda that people have defeated that data cap ENTIRELY for other services like vzw or sprint... tmo is slacking! Kind of can't wait for att acquisition...

in need of some info

Hey, long story short, my screen went white and I sent it away for repairs, they sent it back saying i had third party firmware, and it would cost me $200 for a new motherboard because my old one was fried... (not the case, i could still press my homescreen buttons and take pictures with the camera, just couldn't see what i was doing)

So they sent it back and my screen got cracked in shipping or something (they barely wrapped it) and is solid black (cannot see anything).

I have cyanogenmod 6.1 running on the device (Desire z) with clockwork recovery, and I'm trying to revert back to the

bell

mobility stock firmware (hboot, recovery, the whole 9).

The problem is I can't see anything, I basically only have adb shell access and don't know how I can get version numbers or anything from the phone. I have s-off right now and understand flashing older version RUU's is dangerous.

running dd=if/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 gives me:

BM___001�����������������������DeviceWarmBoot���������������������������������CE Serial InUseDebug Cable EnaCE USB InUseClearAutoImage 1.34.666.5recovery

FNOCFNOC512+0 records in

512+0 records out

262144 bytes (256.0KB) copied, 0.133636 seconds, 1.9MB/s

Leading me to believe I shouldn't use the:

RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe as it is an older version

I don't know what the repair people did, I know they took apart the phone, as the void sticker has been punctured, but don't know if they flashed new stuff, or what is currently installed.

If anyone can help me find out what is installed, that would be most wonderful. As I said, I basically only have adb shell to interact with...

Thanks so much!

/dev/blcok/

Hello again, I have a new question...

Phone is Desire Z, runnning cyanogenmod 6.1 with clockwork recovery, S-OFF, HBOOT hasn't been changed, neither has my CID. (ROM version was 1.34.666.5 when I got it from BELL MOBILITY)

I'm limited to adb shell and hardware buttons (including home, menu, back and search) for interaction with the phone as the screen is cracked and solid black.

I'm trying to revert back to stock EVERYTHING, to send it in for repairs.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm willing to try just about everything, I was even considering writing zeros to all the /dev/block/mmcblk0p* because when they sent my phone back they cracked the screen, and I have repair orders showing clearly the phone was in good condition minus 'minor scratches,' and therefore they would have to give me a new one....

anyways, any help would be appreciated, I would really like to know where I can find documentation of all the mmc blocks, just a general overall documentation of the phone, I've been reading way too many posts which go in circles and don't agree with other posts...

This is extremely frustrating

A noobie question- how do I install an icon pack into an existing rom/theme. I have ADW Ex running, and although I found references to icons in the settings, still am at a loss as to how to do it. Do I unzip first? do I have to put them into a particular file? A quick walk-through would be great- Chris
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
Why is that?

I would put S-ON through ADB as i guess it's not too hard to do, then flash the original RUU. Isn't that possible?

I don't now if that removes the recovery though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slopes:
Ya you are absolutely right, as long as I change S-OFF to S-ON, it won't let me 'upgrade' to a lower version number and I won't be bricked, but I sent it in for repairs because it had an indefinite white screen, and I have a feeling they tried to flash the original RUU, and now it's stuck in a boot loop or something... (I sent it in previously with CM6.1, etc)

I'm not too sure how to test what state it's in now, I looked at the results of "adb bugreport" and "adb logcat" and it seems like a lot of things are failing, but I've never seen a 'good' log so I can't really compare. My girlfriend has the same phone, but stock ROM so I'm just waiting for her to get back into town to compare.

I used to be able to press buttons 'behind' the solid white screen, launch the music player, etc. and my camera would take a picture, save it to sdcard and I could retrieve it, now it seems like never gets into android, and honestly the logcat results don't look too good.

ACTUALLY Ninj, I just assumed I'm S-OFF, I didn't actually check, who knows what they did to it at the repair center, if they did try to flash it, S is probably ON.... I do have a root shell through adb though.

I'm just going to post my findings here and hopefully someone has some insight.

Edit: yes RUU will flash EVERYTHING, including recovery.

Edit: I attached the bugreport and logcat results, if anyone is interested (had to zip 'em as it was over 87.9kb limit)

Radio / Fastboot Option

Hi,

I have the NAM Bell Desire Z. I have installed rmk's slightly modified version of the HTC leaked Sense Gingerbread ROM. So far all is working fine. I also installed rmk's Radio to RIL Auotmatcher to match to my current radio version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

My questions:

1. Would it be safe & show improvement on my device, if I installed the radio version that came with the test ROM: 12.50.60.24_26.08.04.16?

2. In settings/applications I do not have a fastboot option. It appears I am permanently in fastboot and can only enter bootloader through a battery pull. Am I missing something simple here?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

im having this annoying problem with me DATA on ANY rom. i started a thread on this topic but on the wrong page so hopefully someone can help me here before i throw my G2 against a wall. (COPY AND PASTE) I had the CM6.1.1 and was working fine for awhile then suddenly im losing FULL data on and off. i'd have to switch it to 2G and back off to get the H and it'll only work for a few hours then i'd have to repeat it again. I had tmobile file a trouble shoot ticket thingy, got a new sim card and all. prob continues. so I unrooted and sent it for a replacement thinking it was the G2 but now im having the same problem on CM7 2 weeks after replacing the G2. WTH?!?! I tried everything i can think of. went from cm7 to RC2 to 6.1.1 still same problem.. someone suggested i need to flash my radio. ive never gone that far just root and flashed roms. H E L P !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
I'm sorry if the anwer to this question seems obvious to you, but before to go any further: did you really notice any speed decrease? Use speedtest app to see if the icon change really reflects a network change.

Indeed, icons are often wrong in many roms, but the network still works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo4o1:
dude i have NO DATA what so ever. idk wtf the problem is and im going crazy here bc i damn near work OFF my phone and i have no connectivity.. i might have to unroot and settle for the BS stock OS if i cant solve this issue soon
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
Hum, when i read your first post, i'm not understanding you have no data at all, but only no HSDPA. Might be my english, as well as your sms-style ;)

Anyway, if the data just stops completely, and if it's doing that on other ROMs than CM, so it looks like a hardware problem again, and they may have not exchanged your G2 for a new one...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo4o1:
yea when they exchange phones theyre always "refurbished". but when i switched to 2G it works. then i'd turn it off to get back on HSPA, thatll work only for a little bit of time til i have NO data. i unrooted my G2 and had data so it has to be the fact that im rooted or the rom in flashing. ive never had this problem before and i ran CM for like a year now. this came outta nowhere like a tsunami. i dont think its a hardware problem. but im gonna UNROOT again for the 2nd time today and use it for like day to see what happens. if im having a problem i'll give tmo a call for another replacement
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
Ah ok, i understand now. Well so, if root is the cause, i guess it shouldn't be too hard to investigate to find out what differences it makes, thus fixing it.

Have you tried other ROMs? Just try Virtuous with the Virtuous Standard kernel for example, and tell us if you're experiencing the same problems (might be a kernel issue).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo4o1:
im sort of new to this although ive been rooted for more than year now so this problem is new to me. idk anything about kernels all i did was root and flash a rom never anything further than that. right now im flashing a villian rom so i'll see how that goes b4 i unroot..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
Well, a kernel is the core engine of the operating system, handling the basic functions and managing all together. Most ROMs come with a modified kernel, designed to have more performance or functionalities than the standard one.

Check if the Villain ROM comes with a custom kernel. If not, try installing one, like pershoot kernel (if it's compatible with non-Sense ROM).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo4o1:
so i flashed gingervillian 2.5 idk if its a modified kernel or not but im still have no data with that rom..idk what else to do.. or what to flash. everything was fine yesterday FML. i guess my only option is to unroot, let it run for a whole day if i still have no HSPA then we'll know its a hardware issue..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo4o1:
ok so i just UN-ROOTED to stock BS OS and guess what? i have NO HSPA!! soOo that tells me that im having a hardware issue.. T MOBILE here i come. for the second time!

Hi, this might be a stupid question but I am new to Android devices.

I have flashed a ROM from a zip file, can I change the zip file (extract, edit and re-zip) and then flash my new custom ROM? Is it really that simple. I am thinking of small changes, also is there anywhere to add apk files to auto install? If I am missing a noob guide feel free to point me at it. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
Again, try to flash a new kernel. I don't now your ROM so i cannot help you further but take a look at the ROM thread on XDA and find (or ask) what alternative kernel you could use.

As a second option, you could try flashing a new radio that is compatible with your ROM (Sense ROMs and non-Sense ROMs use different radio librairies, look out).

Then, you can at last send it back :)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Thanks for the quick reply. Is it the build.prop file or is there something else? I can't find any info on this, you'd think Google would help!

Ok it is in META-INF\com\google\android and it looks fairly simple. Here's hoping I don't brick the phone! lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninj:
There's a "script***" file to edit if i remember well, but i'm not the good person for that.

You may want to take start your trip from here. Although it's probably not for your mobile, you'll get some good info about what you're looking for :)

Also, if the build.prop is of your interest, you can check this page.

Try to PM someone like RMK for the tip about update script.

It appears I can just copy apk's into the \system directory, they will get installed. I can also add and remove things before creating a zip and then sign the finished zip ready for flashing. I will read some more and have a go at the weekend.

So I've been having issue rooting me replacement G2. After going through just about every method and having it fail, a thought occured to me.
