[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
Nope. I have S-off, I am running sprintlovers and have root, but when I boot to recovery, flash something, and then reboot.....all I get are bootloops. Yesterday, I opened up logcat just before booting. Here us the one and only log entry:

C:\A>adb logcat
- waiting for device -
link_image[1995]: failed to link /system/bin/sh
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

Lol, I may be new to the evo, but I'm not a total n00b. That was the first thing I checked. There is no flashable boot.img file in the kernel folder. Now, maybe one of the files in that folder just needs to be renamed, I'll admit my ignorance right upfront. I did do research before I made this thread, but when they started talking hex editing (of which I've only done a little) and running prl scripts, I knew I was getting over my head.

EDIT: BTW, I have tried both clockwork and Amon-Ra recoveries. Both have the same basic logcat readout, just a slight variation in syntax.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bloodykiller86:
if its the new evo u cant flash a kernel or any rom that isnt based on the latest OTA's. Its because they have a few different drivers and the kernels dont support them yet so thats why u cant flash anything really. so just sit tight with a rom like sprint lovers or Vaelpak and you should be good for now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myn:
Use the Android kitchen in the chef's forums. It will inject that kernel into whatever boot.img you want real fast :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briggsadmin:
So I had a weird thing just happen.

I restored my phone to the CM rom and then restored my data via mybackup. I then setup my exchange account and for some reason my exchange calendar old items were being resent to all invitees in each invite. Since I ways always a required person I got all the emails as well. I quickly deleted my exchange account and the sending stopped.

The emails did get sent to other people because I got out of office replies from many.

I am scared to put my exchange account back on...

Edit: I forgot to say. The invites were from my exchange calendar, but the invites being resent came from my gmail account to all my exchange people.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briggsadmin:
Ok so I think the mybackup is what triggered this issue.

Good to know for the future.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rassam:
hi guys I managed to root my x10 2.1 with z4root and use titanium to freeze timescape and other crap.

before with 1.6 it stopped my phone book from working. but now its fine without the bloat crap running. but what it has done its stopped my contacts from linking automatically to Facebook.

to get their pictures up I have to manually set it in the contacts edit menu then their pic comes up.

anyone found a way of a work around so the se apps stop depending on timecrap?

could do with a 3 party camera operator all in all. don't evenl like mediascape. keyboard is ****, I'm is h the HTC keyboard hack, are their any updates on the sweet keyboard as it sometimes goes crazy and keeps the button pressed.

thanks for reading this is my first post and I have to say I have been following, and what a bad ass community!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1225ma:
I have the same question, is timescape the only way to integrate pictures into the phonebook?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrygar:
download the facebook apk from the market... it allows to synchronize the phonebook with facebook contacts...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rassam:
yeah I did that good idea.

but I had to import all the contacts.

there isn't away to link your contacts manually straight to the phone book. so I now have alot of contacts that I don't want.

I wish we could import our selected friends list from Facebook instead of all its contacts.

so what I've done is put all my contacts that I use that I have numbers for into my favorite list. but I wish I could create a shortcut straight to favorite list rather than phone book.

one thing I'm interested to find out is that if I remove my Facebook contacts will the linked numbers keep their link with Facebook on the original phone entries.....

to scared in case it doesn't work otherwise it took to long to link and it would of been a waste of time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrygar:
Sadly, to do what you want you will need timescape
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rassam:
well some good news I re set Facebook app to sync only my contacts. now it removed all the Facebook entries and left my originals intact with links to their Facebook. :-):-):-):-)
[Captivate General] mattbeau:
So maybe this is already known but you can save your /data/system/accounts.DB and restore it. Just replace the file with your backup, reboot and all your accounts are restored. I use titanium for everything else. Fyi, you must be rooted of course.

oye men continua la tutorial ya desde hace rato le kiero echar la mano a la mini pro para kitarle caparle el firmware de Telcel

// ya lo acabo de actualizar debo decir ke en la parte final del proceso el PC companion no lo detecta para ke se ejecute bien la actualizacion el proceso ke segui y ke no me llevo mas de 10 minutos fue

- modificar ficheros

- apagar celular

- quitar PC COMPANION eh instalar SEUS ( Update Service )

- ejecutar SEUS y esperar ke termine de actualizar

facil sin complicaciones solo falta ke suban como arreglar la coma del teclado aunke no lo extraño mucho

Yo instale hace mucho ya la actualizacion nordica y y pues quee con el lio del teclado aunque no lo extraño mucho supongo que lo puedo arreglar en estos dias subo el archivo de una actualizacion oficial de colombia.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pacoguevara:
Para cambiar lo del teclado solo tienen que editar el archivo "keyprint.xml" en system/usr/keyboard-config.

para que quede en español hay que cambiar:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-br" /> a <script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en" />

(en es el cambio)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palmerx:
¿Alguien sabe si hay diferencias significativas entre las diferentes versiones de kits? O sea ¿además del mapeo del teclado qué tan diferente podría resultarme esta versión brasileña del firmware con respecto al mío que es el 1239-7457 (modelo U20a)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pacoguevara:
Depende del operador. Acá Telcel le quita Gtalk y tiene como motor de búsqueda Yahoo.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palmerx:
Mi Mini Pro es genérico (no tiene operador) y entiendo que este firmware de Brasil es también genérico. Asumo por lo tanto que no debe existir mayor diferencia entre ambas versiones.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pacoguevara:
Si acaso, la distribución del teclado. Pero eso ya puse acá arriba como lo arreglas.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palmerx:
Excelente. Muchas gracias por las respuestas pacoguevara. Una última consulta, ¿Una vez instalado el firmware genérico de Brasil, si la actualización para mi Mini Pro finalmente está disponible habrá alguna forma de instalarla sobre el firmware brasileño para volver a la versión que originalmente tenía el teléfono?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pacoguevara:
En teoría sí, pero yo no lo he intentado.

Se trata de modificar el archivo build.prop cambiando el #SI por el de tu equipo y restaurar el firmware via SEUS. Hay que desinstalar y reinstalar dicho programa para hacerlo.

Es lo que mencionan en otros hilos pero repito, en lo personal no lo he hecho.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palmerx:
Ok, ya instale la actualización según lo indicado en el post inicial. Ahora lo que no entiendo es porqué ahora en lugar de la 3G me sale una H? Alguien tiene idea?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolframio74:
por que el 2.1 soporta mayor banda que el 3G, la H es mas rapida que la 3G...

de todos modos no seria mejor que instalaras la version Generica Latino America, creo que es la GEL, saludos
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palmerx:
Creo que sí sería mejor pero ¿donde encuentro el build.prop de esa versión o el ROM desencriptado para actualizarlo al firm genérico de lationoamerica?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolframio74:
busca el numero aqui:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837032

luego cambias los 3 numeros que aparecen en tu build.prop (respaldalo antes) por el numero de GEL...

luego en tu PC te metes al directorio " C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db " (puede variar en otro PC) y borras todo lo que esta dentro del directorio " DB "

Ultimo paso... REALIZA UNA REPARACION, ojalara te funcione asi, saludos.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zohar Project:
I have two Motorola 820HT Bluetooth headsets. From day one I had no problems with them. (they even worked better on the G2 than my TP2 and EVO 4g) I woke up last Friday to find the G2 trying to update. After the update every thing worked fine until I got a call at work. I listen to a LOT of music/radio/podcast etc.... anyway i was listing to some music and the phone rings, here's where the problems lies. After I hung up the ONLY way a can resume playing music though the headset is to turn them off, then turn them back on. It dose the same thing on both of them. I even tried my friends JBTH710 headset and had the same problem. I can see the numbers moving in the music player, but no audio comes out until I turn off then turn on. Has anyone else had this problem; and if so what did you do to fix it? Taking the phone back to T-mobile for a replacement (to get a phone without the update) is not a answer because without wifi calling I can't use the phone at home.

Just to be clear (I'm not the best typist in the world) If I get a call with Bluetooth parried to my phone and I want to listen to something though my headset after the call, ( it can be five hours after the call) I have to turn off the headset then turn them back on.

Thank you for any feedback that helps me or anyone with this problem solve it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DROITURK182:
Having the same problem as you

I think I have figured it out its the new bluetooth 2.2 that was used with the OTA. I think if we can get the old one from the pre-OTA and adb push it to the system it could work. This problem has made my bluetooth radio useless in the car when I get a call and hang up it should go were it left off from the music or podcast but you can see its still playing but no sound. So always have to disconnect bluetooth and reconnect it for it to work again. So if anybody has the pre-OTA please use adb and pull the bluetooth and upload it to rapidshare or whoever you use to were I can try this and see if it fixes the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revwillie:
My parrot evo 3k (Parrot v5.11c) won't connect with my G2. I haven't tried with original rom, but this problem exists on the Ota, CM RC3, and CM RC4. My G1 had a similar problem in some froyo builds, but I think it was fixed in RC1 or the nighties. I know it worked great from dream-sapphire 230 or so on. Can a BT from older builds be pushed in to recent builds?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DROITURK182:
Tried adb pushing the old bluetooth.apk from the first rom to the new ota and it didn't work. I think its the new radio in the ota that messed up the bluetooth from working right I think I'm going to maybe flash the old radio and see if that works. And if anyone is experiencing this issue and you have solved the problem please let us know how you did it .

I appreciate your detailed explanation! I am a complete noob. I just rooted my g2 a few days ago and trying to read as much as I can and get up to speed.

I do have a question for you as far as backing up swype and other apps. Can you just use titanium backup to back up your apps like swype, quickoffice etc? Thanks in advance.

I was thinking of doing your method mentioned above as well as using titanium backup just because I'm paranoid about losing apps/bricking my phone, etc. Trying to be as careful as possible.

(Backed up and still running stock rom on rooted g2, have installed oc kernel after backing up)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
My problem is that my cars headunit will not automatically connect to my phone or visa versa. i have to manually connect the phone to the car. Its really anoying. Now that I have perm root I have been testing several ROMs and have yet to find one that will actually fix the problem mentioned throughout this post. I just installed the Virtious Unity ROM but have yet to see if the problem is gone. With the Virtious Sense ROM I still had the same problem.

@ iagocpeixoto I've had the same issue with the audio cutting in and out in the past on stock ROM. The problem was that WiFi was also enabled. Its weird but disabling WiFi will eliminate that fading in and out while listening to audio through Bluetooth.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaijinadrian:
Hi everyone, first post and it's about a G1 I recently purchased.

My phone is using the Cyanogen Mod 6.0.0-DS, which is freshly installed. The weird thing is that about 2/3 of my screen (when in portrait mode) is unresponsive when I place my finger on it.

When I touch in the Left 1/3 of the screen, it recognizes my touch and works. The even weirder part is that when I start my touch in the 1/3 and move into the other area of the screen, the phone recognizes my movement.

So say I'm on the home screen and swipe left to right. The screen recognizes my touch and I can hold down the touch into the right side of the screen and it follows my movements perfectly. It's only when I touch in that 2/3 right part of the screen when it touches not recognize the touch.

Now, my question is this: Is it software related or hardware related? Is there a setting I can use to maybe calibrate the screen. OR do I need to replace the screen (or digitizer? can someone help me understand the difference)?

Thanks in advance for reading. Any help is greatly appreciated. Ask questions if need be :)

hi. i perma-rooted my phone and then got the OTA update. since im not sure whether i want to do the OTA (people reported their phone being sluggish afterwards) i would like it to stop bugging me about updating. is there a way to do it? i have looked everywhere on the phone, but couldn't find a setting for that.

thnx in advance.

also, if i do decide to do the OTA, would i have to re-root the phone?

thx
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sv3nt3k:
I'm a bit torn on this as well. Just recently rooted my phone before getting the announcement on my phone that the update is available. However, after actually trying it, it stops at the very beginning and Clockworks is telling me that some signature couldn't be validated and it interrupted the installation of the update.

No harm came to my phone and it's still in the same state as it was before attempting to apply the OTA update.

Would I need to do the round-about way by downloading and installing it another method?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmilestogo:
I'm interested in this as well. I have a second G2 arriving for a family friend. Its totally unlocked so I will most likely apply the update and then root the phone. Is it the consensus opinion that future updates after flashing with clockwork will just fail at some signature validation after rooting and S=OFF? I'm curious about future updates from HTC/Tmo and how this will work as well. I'm also assuming that applying the existing OTA and then rooting is the best way to go.

BTW, I'm truly enjoying this phone now. Thanks to the general, themes/apps, and QA forums sections!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sv3nt3k:
Just to update, I went ahead and applied the OTA update. The only reason why mine couldn't update properly is because I had uninstalled Google Goggles, as it runs an app check. You WILL lose your root but still have S-OFF. I followed this guide step-by-step and I was able to get root again. As far as it being sluggish, there's no performance loss.

The only teeny-tiny lag I have noticed is when some of the widgets don't load fast, but that's due to them gathering the data from mobile/wifi. Doesn't slow down swiping left/right to other screen though.

Android is designed to allocate memory to tasks being used at hand, the other tasks are sitting idle and not using any memory at all. Task killers also drain your battery faster. Its google, they wouldnt make a OS that would have to use task managers to close things.
