I think I understand....

Basically he wants an app that you can upload files to a group of people then have them talk about the files or anything else. More or less an Android chat client with desktop chat client file transfer capabilities.

Or

He is asking for megaupload with built-in chat.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fb401:
So, I've gotten my hands on one and it's really dope. I've got 2 questions:

1. Does anyone have a proper driver so I can sync with the zune software? Windows 7 just seems to reject it off top.

2. Is there anything devs need off of here to help with ongoing hardspl/jailbreak development?

I'm here to help.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fb401:
Nevermind, false alarm. Seems all I needed to do was soft reset and BOOM, the laptop recognized it.

My second question still stands. If there's anything devs need from me or my new phone, please don't hesitate to ask.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCGHOST:
Rooting and loading rom after rom can be quite exciting. However in doing so can bring about hours of time spent setting up preferences, adding back shortcuts, widgets, and installing all your apps again. Aside from Titanium, does anyone know of an easy one click type of app that will backup user settings, shortcuts, widgets and apps. Putting your gmail settings back in is not hard, but annoying after you've done it for the 100th time. Mostly the hard part comes from trying to remember how my screens were setup. Titanium is great for apps, but you have to do them individually, and I have never found a way for it to backup account settings.. although this may be user error. I would love to try new roms as they come out but, knowing I will need to spend the rest of the day or night setting it all back up creates hesitation. I understand that with new roms comes new frame work and most data thrown back into a completely new rom can create issues, however it seems that some sort of program could automate this process to a point. So any suggestions, as I have been unable to find any on the forums when doing a search?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdelling:
Titanium Backup is the way to go.

Once you upgrade to the paid version, you will not have to click "OK" for each app when restoring.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCGHOST:
I was unaware that the paid version did so much. Will it retain the screen shortcuts / widgets as well as keeping general appearence settings? If it does a one click restore of all the apps, that alone may be enough, but I am always skeptical when it comes to purchasing an app, vs what they say it will do.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdelling:
It can't store screen appearances but its worth it if you like to keep a lot of apps on your phone while trying new ROMS. An added bonus is that the backups store SMS history too.

You have to wait for 6-7 minutes to complete the process. Be sure liquid is fully charged and debug usb is activated.

Keep in mind you cannot update liquid with liquid e roms.

[Liquid S100 General] raskell:
delete the update.zip file or remove it from your SD Card and run the Acer DownloadTool again. AcerTool flashes a .bin file if you are using it correctly.
[Liquid S100 General] muisejt:
Just upgraded my Liquid E to 2.2. I followed the instructions in the PDF and it worked fine. I would try copying the files to the SD card again.
[Liquid S100 General] hurric:
I'm totally lost on this. I have 2.1 stock with Malez recovery installed on it. No matter what I do, I just cannot get it to work?

Is there a step by step instruction on how to "flash" a bin file and then upgrade it for Fido phone? I have Acer Liquid E Fido. I have been working on it for 2 days now and cannot get it to work.

edit: finally got it to work by installing another (10 different) version first and reinstalling a one that doesn't have the assert

[Liquid S100 General] hurric:
go to modaco forums and posts by alan090 and he's got a version that you can install.
[Liquid S100 General] split2th:
Sorry, but you can not install the acer rom. Because you are not using original rogers eclair, or you've flashed Malez recovery.

There is a couple ways you could get around this.

1. There is a Modified rom based on the official acer release at Modaco.com. It doesn't make any assert checks.

2. If you have the original rogers eclair kickin around you could flash it onto your device. You might need to flash a 2.1 eclair bin(leak) first depending on what you're running now. Once this is done you'll be able to use the acer official, and pass all assert checks.

Hi every one

i have a spice android phone MI-300 and want to update the 2.1 version to 2.2 manually could anyone of you guide me how to do it on my own as I dont think the company is upcoming with and 2.2 upgrade.

Please help

Abhishek
[Liquid S100 General] zzzn00bzzz:
The simplest way of doing it would be flashing the latest malez recovery. Then using acer download and flashing the proper generic 1.0 rom. After then you should have went to acer website and downloaded a european (generic 2.2 rom) followed directions and did the proper upgrade. You can also apply the patch after (under patches tab) :)

Worked like a charm for me back in the day.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stelatti:
My Vibrant is completely bricked. I turn it on and the picture of the phone, exclamation point, and computer shows up.

I can't enter any mode, recovery or download. I've tried everything already.

Question is, should I attempt to make that resistor jig thing or should I just go to T-Mobile and get a replacement with my warranty? Which one is less of a headache?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Warranty totally its easier
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stelatti:
Okay thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teckh:
I had that image/brick as well, there is a guide in the bible that showed me how to fix it. I would provide the link but I am not at my computer...

Basically pull battery, plug in the USB to the phone and computer, hold volume up and down and power.

Re-insert the battery

When the phone goes black release the power button...

Check the bible, the thread is there...

Hopefully those steps work for you as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
I say build the jig. I did, and it was painless. Plus, if you happen to brick again, youve got a damn good chance of saving it. Its a valuable tool to have. Once you get it built, you can have your phone back exactly as it was before within the hour (for me at least), assuming you made a backup at some point.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
some people may not want to build a jig?

i did and it was painful since i was new to everything but now it is like moderate

but the warranty will give u a new phone???

does anyone not see the bright side on this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stelatti:
It's hardware locked too, by the way. So I can't really do anything about it unless I get a replacement or make a jig.

Thanks for the input.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo0se:
have you tried pulling the battery, holding up and down and then plugging in usb?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stelatti:
Yeah, I've pretty much tried everything. It's all locked up, software and hardware. I screwed it up pretty bad...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Yes, but theres also a bright side to learning new, useful things.

Also, while I understand it will get him a new phone, the warranty is void once you've rooted your phone. Sure, T-mobile isnt going to take any direct action and just send him a new phone, but the fact of the matter is, they know people do this. This is exactly why you are seeing a lot of new Android phones lately that have measures in place to prevent rooting.

I dont know in what way it was painful for you, but I also had never touched a soldering iron in my life before this, and it really wasn't that hard. Honestly, I feel like if your going to be messing around with your phone to the point that you brick it, you should take some responsibility and learn how to fix it before making someone else pay for it. I had a very similar problem to the OP, and I learned how to fix it myself, and now I feel much better equipped for any issues that may come in the future.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
since you asked by posting this thread, my opinion:

you bricked the phone right? yourself; no one else, not t-mobile? Assuming so, make the jig and take responsibility.

all of these people bricking their phone and then using the warranty (not talking about insurance some pay for) are part of the reason phones are the price they are. and they are likely to go up

so do everything you can to fix the phone yourself instead of lying and getting a replacement for free

this is probably not what you want to hear, but you posted on a forum asking for opinions. take responsibility for your own actions as I dont want to pay (end the end we will all pay higher phone prices) for your mistakes

good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Very well said. I think the OP has a sense of responsibility, since he even considered the jig as an option. :D

I think the lesson is that nothing is free, and we all pay the price in some form or another.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stelatti:
I actually decided to order the jig materials online tonight since I'm not really in a rush to have my phone restored right away. Work seems to be dull, so I probably won't be getting any calls for meetings.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Sounds good man, hope it works out great for you. I was in the same boat, for a different reason. My phone couldnt handle overclocking, froze during a flash, and then I find out my phone is hardware locked. I bought my phone from craigslist though so I didnt even have the option of a warranty replacement. ;)

Either way, now youll have a life-saver if you ever brick it again, and for any other Vibrant you may have down the line.

i have a DINC and i want to get it set up to toggle data connection on screen off. i found some tutorials that got it to do that and it works cool but i cant get the it to enable every X amount of mins for auto sync, if this isnt possible is there a way i could just have it go into 2G mode and then into 3G mode apon screen on

also with the profile i have set up now where it dsiables all data on screen off sometimes i noticed when i screen back on the data connection never resumes, it looks like it does it mostely in low coverage areas and in extended network areas

[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
For anyone who wants it, here's the STOCK PRE & Post-OTA recovery images. (I just added PRE-OTA if for some reason it's needed down the road.)

If you plan on flashing it back over the ClockWork recovery image, make sure S=OFF otherwise the flash won't complete successfully.

You can turn S=ON back after the flash.

THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP - I only zipped it to get it to upload as an attachment! You will need to do a Fastboot Flash to install (there may be other methods but Fastboot is what I used).

Below are instructions I am borrowing from the Amen-Ra recovery installation from the N1 - they will apply the same here!

via fastboot

Copy recovery.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select fastboot)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

via terminal app

Copy recovery.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

I hope this proves to be useful to at least 1 person!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
sounds like a good way to restore...now all we need are some roms
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
The reason I dug this up was that I am very curious as to whether after having rooted, if you have stock recovery and S=ON whether or not further OTAs will come to you.

Back in my N1 days if the stock recovery was not present an OTA couldn't install.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] c_licious:
Sweet! Was looking for the stock recovery before exchanging my mytouch. Where/how did you get this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] esincho:
Great contribution
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
Actually I merely extracted them from the stock Rom here on xda and from the ota update file someone posted but nobody has figured out how to apply. Both have been tested on my phone.

I figured I would make it easier on everyone who simply wants to download the recovery as opposed to the entire rom or update.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kitsunisan:
Does this then solve the problem people have of not being able to root because they downgraded? If so, we may not need that OTA update link anymore.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Thanks for making these available. I also wanted to get the recovery to hopefully let me get OTA's again (got the first one).

I was hoping I could do so with everything stock (unroot with visionary) but also being able to leave s=off - does that absolutely have to be set back =on?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjlean:
You got the first one after reverting back from being rooted?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
Not sure - but if you want to "appear" to be 100% stock w/ OTA update, probably best to set it to S=ON.

The thing is though, my understanding is that if even if you use the unroot, you still will have persistent root unless HTC or Google somehow patches the exploit that was used to get root in the first place. So, you'll have root but won't be able to change anything on the ROM unless you turn S=OFF again. I ran the unroot and S=ON and still have the ability to do everything (other than mess with the ROM) that your standard Rooted phone would be able to.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
You can force install the first OTA, but without forcing it I don't believe it's going to happen.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843428 shows how to do it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I got the first OTA before doing s=off (needed the OTA to make it work at the time - did it first day).

I am trying to find out about the second OTA, about which there is practically no information available. I would I assume I have to have the first one installed to get the second (but what is it?).

Again - thanks for posting the original stock recoveries - have a feeling I may need one down the road (like when 2.3 finally comes out and I have a reason to go back to stock).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
I've yet to see anyone say that they have actually received a 2nd OTA... Go figure?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dbiggss:
Would I be able to use this recovery image to get my phone back up an running again?

I was messing around trying to apply the custom animations and somehow ended up getting my phone stuck in a constant reboot mode.

I have done some research and think that I am on the right track, but can someone verify this for me?

I have permroot with S-OFF, factory reset from the bootloader menu does not get me anywhere, but the phone is recognized through the "fastboot" prompt.

Would I just place the recovery image in the root of the sd card and run these commands?:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery.img

Thanks in advance for any help:(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] terminatorxman:
From terminal im getting image not found? Do I have to mount or something?

Also... From pc ....Put .img in a place where fast boot can see it, where is thay
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
Ok guys, the absolute easiest way to do this... This is dependent upon you having S=OFF.

1) Install the android SDK....

2) In my case, fastboot is in C:\sdk\tools as I installed the SDK to C:\SDK. For fastboot to see the image file, I placed the image file (after extracted from the .ZIP) into the C:\sdk\tools folder.

3) Shut down the phone. Turn it back on while holding down the VOL-DOWN button.

4) On the bottom of the screen you'll see:

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

5) FASTBOOT should already be highlighted. Press the POWER button.

6) If your USB isn't already plugged in, do it now.

7) Give the PC max of 30 seconds to recognize the bootloader mode.

8) From a DOS prompt, navagate into the C:\SDK\TOOLS folder.

9) Type "FASTBOOT DEVICES" (less the quotes) and press ENTER. If your phone is recognized it should show the serial info of your phone.

10) Type "FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY RECOVERY.IMG" (again, less the quotes) and press ENTER .

11) You should see the send and receive. If you do, SUCCESS.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dbiggss:
I was able to do all of the steps listed, but I keep getting stuck at a boot loop.

Fastboot recognized my phone, flash recovery from fastboot says that it is successful, but still no luck.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
Sounds like in your case you may be best off either doing the downgrade (guide is here on XDA) back to factory image then forcing update, or actually doing an exchange.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] onyonees:
Edit 3: okay so i finally got it to work using fastboot!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a mac you have to do: fastboot flash recovery (and then type in the location of recovery.img which is in the tools folder. i did this by dragging recovery.img from the tools folder and into terminal after typing fastboot flash recovery) /location of recovery file/recovery.img. then i hit enter and it worked.

Edit 2: so i found fastboot-mac and added it to the tools folder but now i am getting the error: cannot load recovery.img. any ideas.

also, is there any way to load flash_image command to my system/bin?

Edit: It seems like the flash_image recovery command is not recognized by my phone when i type it into terminal emulator. i get the error "flash_image: not found".

i would try using adb but i am not seeing fastboot in the tools folder of the SDK. i am on a mac.

currently S=off. any ideas?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] fandroid93:
Hey thanks for the thread. It will really come in handy as i am returning my phone (to get another one) and i have already flashed clockwork. I downloaded the zip, extracted it, copied the recovery.img over to the root of my sdcard and tried to flash it in terminal. i got an error saying flash_image: not found. I saw other people having this problem but i can not seem to flash it. I really need to flash the stock img because my 14 days is about to run out and i need another phone and cant return this one with a custom recovery img. Please help. Thank you.

************EDIT***************

I looked around xda some more and thought about my g1 and mytouch 3g days...so i went to their sections and read how amon ra said to do it originally. here is how he did it in fastboot

Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to a location where fastboot can find it.

Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)

Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

obviously the steps will change some because you dont have his 1.7.0 and your not using a g1. but that is how you flash with fastboot. which BTW worked perfect. OP you need to change your steps to theses steps. Thanks for providing the download link though. Boot into bootloader by downloading an app of the market called quick boot and once its installed press boot loader. and then follow the steps above.

O and doing it through terminal will not work.

For the original instructions...
