[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpole17:
No matter how many times I wipe my phone I still can't flash any pic the newer roms. I have root explorer an have been able to see that nothing changes. The weird thing is I'm not getting any errors after installing a Rom. Usually if there is a media folder on my SD card but never get passed the three skateboards. I can flash tazz14 an it boots just like I never took it off my phone. An no it wasn't flashed from a nand. Need help.

I intend no disrespect, and perhaps I am alone in this, but I'm having difficulty understanding, other than in a general sense, what this sentence means.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koamalu:
I agree. Don't really understand what you are saying. What are you trying to flash?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I've checked some of your previous post discussing the problem. It is unlikely but possible that your recovery image has been corrupted. I would suggest that you recover from a nandroid then run jcase's one click root app, don't worry about flashing rootme.zip, but do ensure that you reboot twice after running the app. And when you flash the ROM do both Dalvik wipe and factory/data wipe. Hope this works.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpole17:
ok sorry for the broken sentences. I let my frustration get the best of me.

I use to be able to flash any rom. One day I decided to try some of Tazz and shed's roms. I had no problem flashing up to Tazz v14 and shed's v2. I tried to flash Tazz V15 and this is when I first noticed my problems.

When I would flash v15 or higher i would get the e: error in line 238 e:wasn't able to write boot image and installation aborted.

Shed's roms don't give me the error it just says installed from sdcard. On a re-boot I just get the skateboards and it never boots. just sits there. At first I thought I didn't wait log enough so I waited 20 minutes. Never booted.

I always do a factory/data and dalvik at least 3 times before trying to load a new rom

I don't believe it has anything to do with their roms. I went all the way back to 2.1 stock and started over. then one click eris root. It seems as if i flash a new rom the new stuff doesn't overwrite over the old system files.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenzomonk:
sounds like it could be a couple of issues.

not sure what recovery you are using... but i'd read this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827718

could be some very useful tips for clearing space on your phone.

reason i say that... if you are getting all the way to the boot image, then it's failing... then i'd say you either have a bad DL (check the md5's), a bad recovery image (already mentioned), or you are running out of space in /system/ block (maybe the reason some ROMs are successful in flashing, and not others... as the "heavier" ROMs maybe too big to fit on whatever amount of space you have left in /system/).

if you could, load/flash a ROM that works... then, from a command line, do the following and post it:

adb remount

adb shell

busybox df -h

copy/paste the results so we can have a look :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mudrover:
I'm still stuck with the same prob too. Here are a few things I have tried in the past week.

1. Repartition SD Card to 1 partition.

2. Format SD Card FAT32.

3. After flashing, booting w/o SD Card.

4. Completely unrooted back to 2.1, rerooted.

All of these were followed by a fully wipe, dav wipe, flashing new ROM and reboot and all resulted in endless skating androids.

I'm just stumped.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I have a feeling that the OP has one of those Erises that cannot be overclocked to 710 MHz; all of the latest ones seem to default to that. I'd say that it would be proved if you can flash Plain Jane and it works, as that defaults to stock 528 MHz.

I did find a way to alter the xtrROMs to allow a flash and then, before restarting the phone, using ADB commands to change the default maximum clock speed to something other than 710000. See http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/212791-kernel-overclock-custom-rom-s.html#post1841188

It's worth a try, anyway. I'm not sure that I'd try it with anything other than xtrROM or xtrSENSE for now; I haven't checked any other ROMs to see if that would be the proper procedure.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mudrover:
I have been working with Conap who writes the kernel for many of the new roms out there for the past week and we finally resolved the issue. Apparently with CFSv6+ he added CIFS support to the kernel which was causing the boot problem for me. Try flashing his rom CELB v3.8 and see if it works for you.

Hi,

I tried multiple builds, but wifi didn't work at any of them. I found out that most probable reason is inabilty to get MAC address for wifi.

dmesg:

wlan: dhd_preinit_ioctls: can't get MAC address , error=-110

I tired to modify startup.txt, but no results. I found that similar issue was resolved for other htc devices (tilt 2, touch pro 2) by correction of wifi-nvram.txt. I couldn't find that file on builds for hd2.

It would be greate if anyone could you say which file is responsible for setting up MAC address for wifi.. Or what can I try else..

Thanks you!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] az_registration:
My hd2 is T-mobile US version

My radio is 2.15.50.14

Android build is MDJ FroYoSense -=Revolution=- 1.6 (tried with built in kernel and hastarin's one)

just in case, ROM build is 3.14.531.1 from T-Mobile, but I also tried Miri_Steve0007_Elegancia_V5.0_FINAL with the same results.

Actually I asked a person who doesn't have wifi problems to give me his firmware versions (rom, radio) and tried them by myself on the same android build he has. Results are the same: wifi doesnt'work.

Under WM wifi works good. Here is a link to the similar problem resolved for touch pro 2, tilt 2 and other devices: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-695230.html

you may have forgotten to copy bcm drivers when you changed kernels and that can kill your wifi.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] az_registration:
No, I have updated bcm4329.ko as described in readme file for kernel. Also I compared dmesg output and adb logcat for different kernels: they look similar.

logcat says: "Failed to disable WPA in the driver" while dmesg says "dhd_preinit_ioctl: Can't get MAC address, errno=-110" for both the kernels..

Thanks!

Just tested with different radios.. Results are still the same..

If wifi wouldn't work in WM, I though that it is a hardware problem.

Any thoughts are welcome!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pappagallo:
Yes, but that's only there if you are using MAC filtering in your access point, or you're using multiple Smartphones with the same Android Build.

Just as a test to determine if it's in any way related to security settings in your Access Point, you could try to make your access point unprotected.....so NO WEP or WPA protection, SSID visible, etc.

If that doesn't work either, then I'm lost :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pappagallo:
Are you using MAC Filtering in your Access Point/Router ??

First time I tried to connect to my Access Point with Android, it didn't work either....untill I realised that the MAC Address on Adroid is NOT the MAC Address of the HD2. When I allowed the MAC Address of the Android Build on my Access Point I had no more trouble connecting, and my WIFI has worked ever since......

Be carefull however, different Android Builds use different MAC Addresses, so when you try a new Android Build you might experience the same issue.

Newer Kernels have an option to specify your own MAC Address during startup of Android.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] az_registration:
Thank you for answering!

No, MAC filtering is not used. At least at one access point.

There is a file (startup.txt) which allows to specify mac adderss in 'Android' folder. Did you mean that one, or mac address might be specified in some other way?

I did some more investigations and it seems that the problem might potentially be in wifi timeout settings, because there is a message in log (dmesg).

wlan: dhd_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout

I downloaded kernel's sources to find out if this is the reason. Again, it is very weird, because wifi works in windows mobile.. Perhaps WM uses longer timeouts..

Another strange dmesg line is

wlan: firmware version: ver

perhaps wifi hardware has not been initialized correctly.. Just in case, below is related set of dmesg lines:

<4>[ 320.937774] wlan: wifi_set_power = 1

<4>[ 320.937835] htcleo_wifi_power: 1

Thanks again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pappagallo:
Something went wrong when quoting a part of your question concerning the startup.txt file, so for some strange reason my reply is on the 1st page...(at least when I'm looking at your thread).....

Anyway, the MAC Address you can specify in the startup.txt file can be used when you ARE using MAC filtering and/or you have multiple smartphones using the same Android Build.....so you don't have duplicate MAC Addresses on your network.....

As I'm not a developer, I'm not able to help you with your debugging lines....however, if you want to be sure that it's not some kind of security setting, you could try to remove all security from your Access Point, so NO WEP or WPA, SSID visible etc.

If that doesn't work either, then I'm lost :D

Only time I didn't get a WIFI connection was because of the MAC Filtering in my Access Point. When that was corrected I never had problems getting a connection on WIFI.

Good luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] az_registration:
Pappagallo,

I tried to turn off all security, but no effect. Anyway, thank you for the advice:) I just don't know to to try else...

Another suspicious line in dmesg is wlan: firmware version: ver.

It seems that wifi is not initialized correctly in Android... It would be interesting to see this line for devices with working wifi.. But to do that terminal emulator or android sdk are needed..

[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
Like I said, I finally decided to take the plunge after running it exclusively on my sd for over a year, and now usb connectivity isn't working. Before all I had to do was install sd split widget, hit it and wait for aboug,t 20 minutes the first time, then each one after that was only about 1 minute.

Anyway, I flashed to scooter's cyanogen, but I was having issues with the lcd density(I use 320x480 for swype, and he didn't include roguetools, and I have no data and I couldn't connect to my computer to transfer it over, so I could not use it), so I flashed to super froyo rls16. I had been using it on SD so I was familiar with it. I installed it fine, used Titanium to restore all my apps and stuff, but when I went to hook it up to my computer to transfer some apps, I couldn't get it to connect. I have left it in split activated mode for 2+ hours and still nothing.

Some things to note

In both scooter's and superfroyo, I get a message from windows saying if you use a 2.0 usb port then it can perform faster.

I have tried the built in share files functionality in superfroyo and it just sits there for as long as I let it

I've tried different USB ports

I've tried uninstalling windows drives and reinstalling

I'm using windows 7 x64

Like I said, while running on SD, I had no issues with this stuff at all.

Its not urgent, thanks to titanium, I got all my apps and data back the way they were, but since I have no data and MMS doesn't work for verizon/android/vogue, now I have no way of transferring files or pictures on this phone.

Thanks for reading this all and a special thanks to all the devs who got me to this point.

I noticed yesterday that my mt4g (stock, not rooted, with ota update) was warm and had dropped >10% battery in 30 minutes or so.

I loaded watchdog lite and didn't see any runaway processes or anything. However, my battery still seemed to be draining faster than usual and the phone seemed a bit laggy.

Today I was more curious so I fiddled with watchdogs settings and enabled monitoring phone processes. As soon as I.did this I got a notification about a process taking over 55% CPU. I opened up watchdog and saw that init process was using between 50-89% CPU.

I did a quick search of Google and xda and found some reports of similar issues with other android devices, namely this xda thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8966211&postcount=1

I turned on usb debugging as recommended and init has yet to set off watchdog again today. Phone seems snappier and battery seems a bit better so far.

What do you guys consider "good" battery life? The phone lasts me through the day with moderate usage.

I charge my phone every night while I sleep. Are people expecting the phone to last several days without being charged?
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Just because you have profiles setup doesn't mean a thing. It's what those settings are that make a difference.

@CBConsultation: Are you attributing your battery life mainly to using SetCPU with those settings? If I wanted to do just a couple tweaks to increase battery life, is using SetCPU one of the single best ways to increase it?
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
I am attributing all my settings to great battery life. My sync duration, app settings for interval sync, setCPU profiles etc.

There are so many settings that will be dependant on each individual user. How many email addresses do you have/ How often do you choose to have each one sync? Do you have weather syncing and how often? What display brightness are you using? Screen timeout? Wi-Fi timeout? Wi-Fi performance on or off? Mobile network on or off/ Bluetooth on or off?

See where I'm going with this?

Every user has different settings and it would be extremely exhaustive to list every single setting for every single app. You have to adjust all the above according to your use and liking.
