Did you ever get problem resolved?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
@jorsh :

I had the same problem with u. Can't delete few old files that stored in the internal SD. Also, I can't use update.zip in the recovery mode. It says "cannot find sdcard/update.zip.

My phone also can't play MP3 file or 3GP file that transfered from other phone / PC.

Anyone can help us ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
How are you deleting the files?

What are you running?

the update.zip, are you guys talking about rooting, or clockwork recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
Sorry, thanksgiving was preventing me from following the thread. The problem is still unresolved. I was trying the update.zip in recovery mode, as far as I know there is no clockwork on the phone. I thought the update.zip was just a recovery image that the phone used as a basis for restoring the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
I have tried deleting files a few different ways.

Odin, directly via pc with usb mount, and using the software on the phone itself, and tried using factory formats/resets hard and soft.

What do you mean by what am I running?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
i just buy a used vibrant. There are some photos & files in the internal memory. I can erase it with file manager, but when I restart the phone, those photos & files appear again.

Same thing with with the gmail account. This gmail account is sign up by previous user. I can't remove this account.

I already try using "factory reset", but it's useless. Those photos & gmail account still in my phone.

I'm running in 2.1 T959UVJI2

about the update.zip, I'm using for rooting. I can't root the phone too. I'm using the file "SGH-959 Root Update.zip" then rename it to "update.zip"

I put this update.zip that the root folder of my internal SD. Bad thing is, this file is gone when I restart my phone (turn off then turn on). So, when I goes to recovery mode, it always said : cannot find sd card/update.zip

anybody can help me ? pleaseeee. So frustated >.<
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
Yeah that sounds pretty much exactly like my problems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Perhaps people are having a hard time helping because we cant determine what you are trying to do....

first, yes, there is a clockwork recovery... download rom manager from the market.

there are going to be folders on the internal memory you can not remove because the OS puts them there.

could you please say exactly what you want to do???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
I am just trying to delete everything and basically restore the phone back to factory. But it seems like the normal ways of doing that are not working.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Use ODIN to go to stock ji6 or jk2. I have a guide in my signature

Once you reboot mount the internal memory and format it. Settings > sd card and phone storage
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
ok ok.... I'll try at weekend. I'm out of town in few days. Thx for the info.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
please report back, want to make sure all is well
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
I have already flashed using odin, and tried mounting and formating the internal storage. Currently after I went through and removed the music on the phone (which will come back if I power the phone off)

my internal storage shows. 13.18 Gb total space 13.12Gb available.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
Maybe this will help. I followed this guide here, which I found in the thread in your sig. I did this even though I was able to get into Download mode because I thought maybe it might be corrupted or something, and that is why the flashes weren't taking properly.

Put in update.zip

used recovery.bat

scroll to & select reinstall packages

Here is the message it gives me

E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subzerold:
my friend is having the same exact problem with his vibrant:

Problem consists of:

Not being able to download apps from market

If an app is installed from sd, it will install.

If anything is put on the phone, pictures, apps, music, it will be removed if the phone is restarted as if the phone is stuck in a constant state of backup.

Attemps to fix include:

Formating internal and external sd (lol formated, restarted, all still there)

Wiping data in recovery

Flashing multiple roms in recovery

Flashing multiple roms / kernels / jfd / ji6 in odin

using odin with repartition checked

after spending hours doing all this, its as if i never touched it...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorsh03:
I am really beginning to think this is just a rare problem that occurs with the internal memory or something, and may not be fixable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subzerold:
i REALLY hope that this DOES NOT happen to my vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
@ s15274n :

1. when you looking at "SD card and phone storage", how big is your "application storage (available space)" ? my available space is only 1.6GB, while phone storage available space is 13GB. Why my application storage available space is so small ?

2. When you open file explorer, what folder did you find (my phone is still the fresh one)?

I only find : DCIM, data, amazonmp3, mobi_drm, slacker svox, Android and SD (external sd).

I just realized that when I connect the phone with USB to PC, I can see that there is "SD" folder which is hidden.

So... is it normal ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subzerold:
just flashed over the jk6 on odin and i get force closes on everything... no wipe :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andROIDS:
Ok, my Vibrant decided it didn't want to fully boot one morning when I tried turning it on. I then called T-mobile to try and fix the problem. They couldn't do it due to the phone being hardware locked. They then told me they were sending a warranty replacement. I decided to google the problem and found that I could fix the problem using Odin and adb. I was going to cancel the warranty replacement, but I got a text saying the phone was on its way. Anyway, the phone showed up and I decided to test it to see if it has the hardware lock, which it does not. I was wondering if it would be best to call T-Mobile and tell them that I do not need it anymore and return it. Or, if I should keep the new one seeing as it doesn't have hardware lock? What would you do?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a4 moda:
You can still send the warranty phone back to them if you like/want your phone.

So long as they get a phone back, you won't be charged for it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
If your old phone is hardware locked why would you want to keep it. You would have to run the hardware lock fix or the same thing or worse could happen to you again

I recently updated my galaxy to froyo using kies.

Before the update i had 13 apps available through samsungapps. After the update i had only 6. I lost the facebook app in there.

Is there any way to be able to recover those "lost" apps

[Touch GSM General] SharkyX:
Greetings ive got a HTC Elf 0100 (VPA Touch), and i want to flash a rom on it.

Problems:

(1) this PDA is CID Locked

(2) this PDA doesnt connect to active sync

(3) this PDA has NO WINDOWS MOBILE on it

it has a special firmware on it made exclusive for a company to do some questioning. But now the Device isnt used anymore and i want to flash it for personal use as normal PDA.

Can you help me with that?

the CID Unlock Operations from this forums didnt really work coz they all assume winmobile to be booted which i dont have.
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

1 If you don't have active sync so you can only use Sdcard flash

2 I'm not sure you can Cid unlock using a card

3 so only option is to find original Rom

4 The problem is to find this Rom while you say it never had a proper Rom :confused:

Good luck mate :D

I just ordered an evo on eBay...so I don't know which hardware profile it has....

I'm curious what there is to know or what is different when I comes to rooting the evo vs the hero....I've had no trouble rooting two heros....but it seems like there is a bit more involved with the evo....any tips on the differences there are and what to look out for would be excellent

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Yeah, I just wasn't sure which method is best....is WA different than rooting the hero....with the evo it seems like you have to take so much into consideration....like hardware version.....a lot of the searching I have done is saying this or that version will / wont work depending in a number of variables

Once it arrives I will be able to post specifics other than that it is 003

[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
i have to have the worst luck in the world..

got my nexus one today. condition is MINT. seller also included the receipt from HTC proving that it got replaced.

popped in my sim, everything worked fine. turned it off to swap batteries and thats when the hell started.

im not able to get past the nexus logo. NOTHING. it would turn on, than go to the screen, vibrate, than repeat multiple times. phone has never been rooted.

i did EVERYTHING. i did the volume down plus power and than i cleared wiped the memory, same result.

than i tried downloading 2.2.1, renaming it to update.zip, put it on my zip, but that doesnt work. the phone can't tell theres a update.

like **** man. i than went here

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials

read that i needed FRG33 and rename it to PASSIMG.ZIP. when the phone turns on, it gives me the message if i want to update, i get excited. i click yes, everything says ok, than i reboot and bam, still endless reboot. tried to do the passimg again but this time i get a fail on radio V2 or something like that.

WTF is going on. i didnt do anything. ANYBODY HELP?
[Nexus One General] simms22:
maybe the battery you swapped in is bad?
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
same result with both batteries :/

i hate my effing luck.
[Nexus One General] ctbear:
Make sure your batteries are fully charged, seriously.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
great, now when i click recovery, it doesnt even go to the android guy with the exclamation mark, it just gets stuck at the logo. all im able to do is get to hboot. WTF.

i mean the battery has half a charge. just checked with my desire. i even tried with it plugged in in the wall. nothing.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
my aim is screwupboy444. your welcome to help me there or even laugh at me for being a bone head and getting in this situation.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Do you have a different SD card you can use?
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
yeah, i was using both the desire 8gb and the nexus one 4gb. both were reading fine in the desire. i read that if it gets to the nexus one logo then my phone isn't bricked, but im starting to think otherwise. nothing works.

ive been searching for the past hour half. everyone seemed to have fixed there by doing the passimg method or wiping data. but unfortunately none of that is working. i tried placing the froyo "update.zip" and running it but when i clicked recovery, it went into the boot cycle again.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850

thinking about doing that but i have a feeling it doesnt apply to me. that and i don't understand any of the process. i dont think my phone will even be read by my comp.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
did the passimg for the third time. went past the logo and actually to the set up screen. than it rebooted again. and now its stuck on the nexus one logo again.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
could it actually be that? i left the battery charging in the desire for about 40 minutes, than took it out and put it in the nexus one and actually got to the set up screen for the first time.

but my question is, if thats the solution, does that mean my phone is gonna trip out everytime its less than 60 percent battery power?
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
this is what i get when i put the 2.2.1 update on my sd card and go into recovery mode

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

most of the threads where people got this fixed required them unlocking the bootloader and doing something. im the second owner of the phone but would like to avoid rooting but if its required in this situation, i will. i just need a dummies guide to do it..
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
No, there's threads for recalibrating the battery, if needed.

Keep it fully charged, and see if it will run for a reasonable period... That way, we can see if it really is the battery...
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Don't worry about the exclamation and Android for now, and see if the phone will boot and run with a fully charged battery...
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
frick, i know thats what i should do. it just blows that i got this today and theres already a chance that its trashed...
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
thanks for all the help man. you dont think i need to unlock the bootloader right...? im just more curious on why the desire can work with either party no matter the charge. damn.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Wait until your battery is about 75% or more would be better, then try the passimg again...
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
not sure if its good news or not but (i apologize for my lack of patient before hand haha), i took out the battery the desire was charging again and put it in the nexus one. it got to the set up screen all three times before it resets again. i tried plugging it in the wall charger but it still resets at that area.

edit:

the battery level was at 74% when i tried it.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
75% is not a hard number, and I'd let it charge as much as possible. I'd also quit switching batteries, and just stick with one until you isolate the problem...
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
oh iam. im charging the nexus one battery in the desire because once i turn on the nexus one, it gets frozen there, and than i cant turn it off.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Hold power and press Vol+ to access the menu.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
oooh! :D

im gonna try that once i get the battery charged.

so its volume down+power to access hboot, than go to recovery**, when the exclamation comes out press volume up+power will bring up the menu?

*edit

yup it is! :D

edit:

updated to 2.2, but than got stuck at the bootlogo again. i guess 90percent charge isn't enough.

blah. i guess i'll let it charge till 7, and than redo the imgpass for the 5th time (unless someone tells me otherwise) and than do the 2.2.1 update manually.
[Nexus One General] IpodLover77:
Hey guys. Have a kind of off topic question. After you do a imgpass can you go into recovery and wipe the cache/data/etc etc for a fresh start? Or does the imgpass already gives you a fresh start and the wiping is unnecessay?

Btw op. Good luck. I hope you solve your problem :/
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
PASSIMG install wipes everything itself.
[Nexus One General] IpodLover77:
In other words wiping after doing a imgpass is overkill. Got you. Thanks rusty.
[Nexus One General] IpodLover77:
One more thing rusty. Is it possible up do a imgpass when you upgraded to 2.2.1? Cause technically you would be going backwards. Not sure if that's possible.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
I think that depends on your hboot version.

AFAIK, the newer doesn't let you downgrade whereas the old one does...wait for a good answer though :P
[Nexus One General] Bronyr:
try this

... take the battery, sim card and micro sd card out, the phone not plugged into any USB or power source.

Hold down power key for about 5 sec.

Put back your cards, battery (fully charged) - reboot.

Let us know if there is any difference... Worked many times when I had weird issues with my phones, laptops, etc...
[Droid X General] Brynn85:
Posting this for my cousin; not *completely* familiar with the Droid X, but I'm probably better off trying to fix it than she, haha... I have a Samsung Captivate running Froyo (custom rom), so I'm hoping I can help figure it out with some input from you guys...

She recently updated to Froyo via OTA update from Verizon, and not too much longer after that, her camera and the flash stopped working. Also, the battery now drains very quickly (said she is now getting about 5 hours out of the battery as opposed to about double before.)

What could be the issue? Or which is the best remedy? Someone at Verizon told her to restore to factory default settings, but I'm wondering if flashing a new ROM completely may help? Or how would I go about going back to 2.1 then trying to update to 2.2 again?

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
If a factory reset didnt help I would try SBF'ing. Just make sure that if she is on the 2.2 OTA you use the 2.2 SBF. I'm pretty sure links arent allowed here but a quick search on Google would bring it up.

I just got my EVO 4g 2 days ago. I am new to android terminologies (rooting vs jailbreaking, stuff like that). I have been reading a lot but i think i am at a point in which I have too much info that I am confuse.

MY PC36100 looks as followed:

Ver: 2.2

Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01

OTA 3.30.651.2

Hardware: 0003

Q. As of today, is there a tool that will "root" this setup?

- unrevoked3 v3.21 gives me an error (Internal error: couldn't find misc) because it was supposed to boot into boot loader and it just boots normally, if I try to force the process to boot into boot loader then it gives me that error.

- z4root doesn't work, it cannot requires nand unlock

- HBOOT 2.02 is not safe for Hardware 0003.

any tip would be great.
