[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dpmeeks:
I purchased a phone that was suppose to be setup for verizon, i got it home and found out it had been rooted and set up for criket.

after many hours of reading and searching i have the phone flashed back to factory settings, but, when i dial *228 to program for verizon it still calls criket.

I was told i need to flash the antenna ?? or something like that...

can someone help me with this.. thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bendystrawboy:
have you flashed the stock sbf?

follow these instructions

i cant post links, wtf

instead of flashing the 2.1sbf file listed there you can use the 2.2 file from this site

i cant post links, wtf

the radios are also listed there, i've been told you need to flash the radios in order, meaning you can't just start at the last one, you need to flash each one seperately. BUT i have no idea how to flash a radio on a stock phone, so if i were you i'd attempt the spf flash with rsd lite, then root the phone and install sprecovery, then install the radios one at a time.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] qipengart:
I had the same issue and went to Verizon today and had them flash the stock Froyo using RSD Verizon software. Make sure you enable USB debugging first.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dpmeeks:
OMG... i was told i had to have the phone rooted.. i just got done rooting it again :(

so... it needs to be un-rooted for me to take it to verizon to get it working on there network ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] qipengart:
No need to unroot; just bring the phone to Verizon and they can restore it back to the original 2.2.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] silvacrest:
I can turn on the milestone with the power button but when the OS has booted up it becomes unresponsive, if i keep pressing it it sometimes goes to the power off menu but besides from that it does not work

also i can no longer boot into the bootloader but recovery still works, the last rom i installed was the cronos rom with the included kernel, i used this rom for most of the day and it was fine untill i got home

hopefully someone can help :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] silvacrest:
so...no one has any idea what i can do?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] baobob:
Hi silvacrest, I know this is a very old post (in Internet years), but have you (or somebody else) by any chance found a fix for the problem you described? My Milestone running CM7.2RC1 just started to present those same symptoms.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] douglasroos:
I have the same problem, started an hour ago, i don't know why, someone please help!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dstruct2k:
Try taking the battery, SD, and SIM out and using a can of compressed air (NOT an air compressor machine, those pull tons of moisture out of the air and can cause serious damage to your phone) on every nook and cranny of the device. Around and in the headphone port, around the power button, everywhere inside the battery compartment, etc. You'd be amazed at what problems dust can cause.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] baobob:
Thank you for the advice, I'll try that and keep you updated!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] i2gh0st:
Don't recommend this.

You will break the button for good and you'll need to open your phone, well if think you already need to do that.

The milestone button is composed of a thin foil glued to a metallic case, the glue gets old and the adherence with time will decrease and the foil will get dislocated from it's location. This is why your buttons won't work anymore.

If you use compressed air will probably break the button. I have fixed mine by putting a little thin foil of duct tape after I put the foil button in place.

Good luck.

There are more than enough videos out there that shows how to open the milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] baobob:
Hi i2gh0st, in my case, the milestone now sometimes acts as if the power button was pressed, long or short press, waking up the device, displaying the menu or even boot when the phone is off.

You think this behavior could correspond to the foil problem you described?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] i2gh0st:
I don't think so, the button should not work at all, unless it got stuck on press mode. Anything is possible its a ****y button if you look at it from an engineering way.

When I assembled my phone last time I noticed the volume up didn't work, so I opened it again and I found the foil glued to another place instead of its location. So everything started to make sense why buttons break down.

Sorry if I don't really make myself understood, I'm not that good at technical English.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] i2gh0st:
Oky, can't find any relevant video or picture to show you, so I'll open my phone again in week-end after my exam and make a video or some pictures. Just wait a little :-)

Hello

I apologize if this has been asked before, I did a forum search but could not find it:confused:

Swype does not seem to work on X10a after recent 2.1 upgrade? I uninstalled and installed, enabled it on settings but still it does not work? is there a trick I am missing?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMC7000:
No prob. Took me a little bit to find it too.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDwan:
It didn't work for me either when I installed it after the upgrade. I then uninstalled everything related to it and reinstalled it. It's been working fine ever since. I did sign in to the Swype beta site and request the email again and follow that link instead of the old one though. Did you try these options?

EDIT: Apparently I didn't read your post that you got it working. Disregard my response.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
I've been reading the theme guides and, time permitting, would like to start playing around. I've been comparing files from the stock theme template to crakes battery percent mod found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793805&highlight=battery+mod and have been trying to figure out how to use it in another theme. Is it as simple as adding the extra stat_sys_battery_#.png's or does something else have to be done to the framework-res.apk to get the phone to point to the added pngs? I hope thats understandable, thanks in advance for your help all!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
If your theme has 1% intervals already its just a matter of swapping the png files. If the theme don't your gonna have to devompile the apk and edit 3 xml files then recompile
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
okay, ya thats what i was wondering. any help on the xml files to edit and how? i've got apk manager and have it decompiled, i dont see anything that jumps out.

EDIT: okay i've got in the drawable folder stat_sys_battery, stat_sys_battery_charge, stat_sys_battery_charge_err_vinsq, stat_sys_battery_charge_vinsq, stat_sys_battery_vinsq. my guess is its 3 of those, i guess i can just compare the stock theme with the stock battery mod to see what to do.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
You can do that but do you know how to add a line to an xml file
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
in general, yes, but i may not know how for these purposes. what might i be missing?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art3mis-nyc:
There's an even easier way.

start adb

and type adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk

(grab frameworkTW-res.apk*i think* if you want it for touchwiz instead)

Next

go here UOT Kitchen

select flashable .zip

go through the stuff

upload the framework-res.apk you just pulled.

wait a bit download package and move to sd card then browse and install it and reboot.

TADA!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
very interesting, i'll certainly check that out. though i am interested also in learning how to do it myself, but that looks pretty cool!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Thee problem with this is if there's any edited .9 pngs in the theme the out come is ****
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
so how about this: i pull the xmls from crakes framework-res.apk (do i need anything from twframework-res.apk?), recompile into the framework-res.apk from the theme i'm hacking, then dump the pngs into drawable-hdpi from the % mod i want to include and just make sure theres an image for each line in the xmls. sound good?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Sounds great but just remember if your theme has any edited .9.pngs you will get errors with the framework.

What there are you trying to edit?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
basically i want to work in a battery % mod into the theme from AOSP Magic (partially just to see if i can do it ;)). when you say "has any edited .9.pngs" do you mean if i edit any? or if the theme contains any that are already edited.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
If the theme has any edited already out if you edited any
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
ya i'm a little confused at that point on how i'd handle that. anywhere i can read up on that?

so basically if the theme i want to mod has .9.pngs that were edited from stock, when i decompile and recompile with the new xmls its going to break something? if so, what would i do? use the battery % mod theme and dump the drawable-hdpi folder into the apk after?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
What I do is modify the xml files ona stock framework. Make all the changes I need then recompile. Once compiled its a matter of dragging and dropping the pngs
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
gotcha, perfect thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am completely new to modding/theming/customizing my Evo in any way. I was taking a look at the post your screens thread and a lot of them look really cool, I just don't know where to even begin to customize my own evo. It's overwhelming seeing how customizable it is.

Right now I'm running Myns RLS3 with Launcherpro Plus and I have just downloaded a HD icon pack I found that I liked and put it on the root of my SD card. When I go to change it in Launcherpro, it takes me to my albums but I can't find the icons anywhere.

These were grabbed from my over-the-air update. They are full recovery images that wipes everything except the user data.

NOTE: These are only for 1.0.1 or 1.1 based stock versions. For 1.2 based stock versions, they will be hosted in the same location as my 1.2-based mods./[/url]

===================================

Instructions for use with the internal memory:

1- Mount your device to your PC

2- Download the ROM you wish you use, and save it to the root of the mounted drive. Rename it to "update.zip"

3- Create a folder on your mounted drive callled "recovery".

4- In that recovery folder, create a file called "command", and add this line to that file:

--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip

NOTE to Windows users: If you use notepad, it might name the file "command.txt". That won't work. It cannot have a file extension. I would recommend downloading and using the excellent program "notepad++" as a notepad replacement.

5- Shutdown the device and then boot into recovery (Hold Power button and volume up key for a few seconds). If you are using standard recovery, the install should run automatically. If you are using clockworkmod, you will need to manually choose the update.zip file.

6- Reboot when completed (standard recovery users will be rebooted automatically).

Other note: These stock ROMs WILL flash recovery, as they are designed to do that. If you are using clockworkmod, that recovery tool will most likely be wiped out. Also, if you experience a boot loop post-install, you won't have clockworkmod installed to correct it - there are ways to install a clockworkmod image off your microSD, if necessary, then wipe your user data. Most times, these reboot hangs are due to incompatible data partitions between mods - this is especially true for ROMs like gADAM.
[G Tablet Android Development] nick325i:

please help!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
It's spotty with cwm - I've seen the same thing - cwm probably has an issue being overwritten, for some reason.

You might want to alter the ZIP and just rip out the line that's trying to overwrite recovery.
[G Tablet Android Development] daCalifa:
Had this error too

I removed this line from the updater-script file and CWM finished the install succesfully

assert(package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"), write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery"), delete("/tmp/recovery.img"));

thanks again roebeet

should I be worried about leaving superuser on this if im returning it?

I don't think they'll catch it. Just don't leave your user data intact or anything in the internal memory! :)

Where can I find the "/recovers/command" file?
[G Tablet Android Development] uncola:
deleting that line from the updater-script file worked for me with clockworkmod recovery installed.. if anyone is a noob here's some instructions..

unzip the vanilla recovery rom.. go into the "update-smb_a1002-2967-user\META-INF\com\google\android" folder and edit the updater-script file. I had to use notepad++ to edit it, regular notepad wasn't showing the formatting correctly. then just delete this line "assert(package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"), write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery"), delete("/tmp/recovery.img"));" save the file, then zip up the contents of the update-smb_a1002-2967-user folder into an update.zip and copy it to your gtablet. make sure the inside of the update.zip shows the system.img etc files in the root of the zip and that you don't zip it up so those files are one folder deep into the zip. hold down volume + while turning the gtablet on and it should load clockworkmod and let you flash the new update.zip.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
It's not in here -- 1.0.1 is a 100% vanilla ROM from Viewsonic so I did not touch it. Viewsonic even calls it 1.0.1.

For the command file, you can grab that in the homebrew 1.0.0 version.
