[HD2 General] rvida:
Hey, the same happened for me..

When I put in my battery, it turns on automatically, shows the HTC screen, but never boots. Anyways, before it turns on automatically, I managed to do a light and a hard reset too, non of them is working.

Please, if somebody knows the way to fix it, contact me here or on my mail, w33d489@gmail.com

I'll be waiting for you messages!

Yours is totally different problem, and you should try flashing stock rom from sd.

Could you help me with that?

Take a image from the original ROM Say Vodafone, T-Mobile (your operator)

Extract the file, for me it is : "RUU_Leo_Vodafone_NL_1.72.172.0_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship"

Use Winrar to extract this file : RUU_signed.nbh maybe called different but look for the biggest file extracted.

I hope you have a MicroSD :)

Rename

RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh put it on the MicroSD card

Put the MicroSD in the Phone,

Press down the Volume (left side) like you want less sound out of your phone

Press same time the Power On button hold it down until you see a bootloader

Now your ready to reflash original rom from the MicroSD

use HSPL 2.08 to load the not branded roms to the divice

Hope it works,

When you have Power in the phone then it wil work for sure ;)

Heya all,

so having just found that I can go online on my phone by connecting to my PC, I tried downloading a load of stuff. A couple of things show on my phone, but a large number simply aren't on the phone. When I select it on Zune on my PC, it tells me that it's already installed, even if I check what I have downloaded in settings; but in spite of this, they simply aren't showing up on Xbox Live on my phone :/

Can anyone help me out here please? :P

try downloading it through the phone instead of zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
I can't; I'm waiting for a rebel sim to arrive so that I can use my T-mobile sim, so currently my phone has no sim in it. Thus, a wired connection to my PC is the only way for me to get online on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
wire connect the phone... hit market place on the phone, if you see the little thing saying something about connected or syncing, close zune on the pc, click close on the phone, go back to market place, and keep trying till the zune sync thing disappears. once this is done, then you can browse the market place via the phone.

Greetings fellow XDAers!

I'm planning to start developing a RPG game for Android. I have previous experience with a few gaming utilities like RPG Maker and GameMaker and I was wondering if it would be possible to port a game developed in one of these tools to an Android Env.

I know Android is Java based and all but, what would be easier (in a practical matter I mean): to start the game from scratch in the Eclipse (ie) env or to dev. it on Maker tools and then port it to ANDROID??

Thanks in advance!

So as of last night, my stock facebook app is not showing the news feed. It keeps on giving me an error 500 and does not work when i try to look at it. I did not make any changes to the phone or to my facebook account, it just quit working. Does anybody have a fix for this or is anybody seeing this issue? I already tried the newest version of the app off of the market, same result. I also reset the phone a couple times and even pulled the battery, with no luck.

Hey guys, apologise in advance for what a few may consider as a 'noob' question :|

But, I'm struggling to find a radio that offers good signal strength. I can't really phone someone without my voice breaking up. So could someone suggest a good radio to flash? Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
There isn't such thing as a best radio.

You should flash different radios and see the results for yourself.

The result depends on the rom you are using (if you are using a custom rom, it's probably best to use the radio recommended by the developer) , also of course the location you are at. See the AdamG thread in development section for a full list of radios.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gol_n_dal:
Hi,

I'm currently using 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30.zip

Not certain if there's a problem with it regarding voice breakup etc. I was on an later one then went to 10.05.30 as it made a big difference to me on battery burn.

I'd suggest trying ones until you're happy as ROM + Radio combinations might have different user experiences. As yjey say YMMV.

I'm assuming, of course this might not be true as you didn't provide any details, that you're rooted on a custom ROM.

More info might help people, more knowledgeable than me, to reply.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltanyne:
Is there anyway I can enable wifi tethering over adb. I rely on my G2 for internet access and my screen recently quit working. So I was wondering is there anyway to turn on tethering so that I can have internet access when my roomate isn't here with his blackberry.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
As far as I know, there isn't really a way to get tethering working with only ADB. Can you explain specifically what doesn't work, the touch screen or the LCD itself? If it's the lcd and you can still touch it, then I suggest using the SDK screenshot tool to help you set up one of the quick keys as a shortcut to the tether app/service. If it's the touch screen, then you might still be able to use the trackpad to set the quick keys also.

Also, I suspect something might be wrong with your data ribbon beneath the hinge, are you sure it's not disconnected?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_grey:
i believe the G2 still has the input command, and the android SDK has a way of taking screen shots, so you can either do adb shell input key xx where xx is the key number value on the phone(can be found by using clockwork and finding keytest), also my syntax there may be off, adb shell into the phone and type input and see what the phone says the syntax should be. and if the screen is broke you can take screenshots of what "should" be on the screen and move around that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltanyne:
Thanks for the help everyone, but I got tired of not having internet i ended up trying to touch it from memory and got it right on the first try. There isn't any damage to either screen, it just quit working while it was in my pocket. I figured it was probably the data cable since I can move the screen up and down a couple times and the screen will change from all white to all black or some other color. I'm not planning on messing with it too much. i have a warranty replacement coming in on the 1st and i'll just wipe it through fastboot and send it in

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jonny4911:
unless you are on GPS, it will never be 100% accurate, because it locates you depending on your "cell location", i.e what broadcasting tower your connecting to. which may be wrong due to google, or your carrier not updating records etc.

just live with it i'm afraid!

oh and the speedtest app bases it's location on IP Address, not cell tower location, thus it will never put you in the correct location, because mobile ip address's do not have a set location, so they simply associate with a random city, usually larger ones.

Hi all,

Does anyone else get dashes int the phone numbers when you backup the contacts to the SD card?

If you restore or look in the lastest *.vcf file in /sdcard/system/PIM, the contacts look like this for me:

BEGIN:VCARD

VERSION:2.1

N:Bob Jones;;;;

FN:Bob Jones

TEL;CELL:012-345-67890

END:VCARD

Using Generic UK 2.1 (also got this with Generic NCB), anybody have any thoughts on how to change it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoPGomes:
Got the same problem. There seems to be a parser in the contact database which assumes that all phone numbers must somehow comply with US AT&T format. Hence even if your number is +44 121 555 3111 it can be be parsed and restored as +44 1-215-553-111.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
I confirm that this happens to me too and it is SOOO annoying!

What I've came up with as a "workaround" is to backup my contacts via Titanium Backup. It stores them on the SD too, so you won't have to worry more about losing them, and the app is free on the Market. Only downside is, it needs root to work. But rooting is easy nowadays! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazxda:
Wondering whether this would work on a branded Orange HTC desire.

1) Install Android SDK or simply adb

2) Download busybox for Android

3) Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the directory where busybox is with the "cd path/to/the/file" command.

4) "adb devices" <- Is your device detected ? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in... (Sync mode I guess)

5) "adb push busybox /data/local/busybox

6) "adb shell"

7) "cd /sdcard/"

8) "chmod 755 /data/local/busybox" (something like that)

9) "/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system"

10) When it's finished, you may have a normal error like 'tar: error exit delayed from previous errors'. This is OK.

repeat step 9 for /recovery /boot /data and so on, obviously renaming "dump.tar" to "boot.tar" and "data.tar" and so on. Can these other ROM/partitions be read without rooting ??

and of course someone with an untouched Orange handset would be required?

Im conversant with C/C++/linux scripting so would easily be able to create an UPDATE.ZIP but I need the binary dumps please.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Doubt it would work but I have NO idea, you can't access the partitions needed without root so anything you did create would be rooted

Anyone have the ota JI6 update that will flash via Clockwork?
[Vibrant General] chichu_9:
Try this http://www.multiupload.com/GYZT0YH5DZ
[Vibrant General] kslays:
@chichu_9, that file is a .rar for Odin I think. I'm running Linux (Ubuntu Lucid) so can't use Odin nor Kies (I don't have access to MS Windows). I tried installing Heimdall, but it requires a .pit file, and the JI6 rar file from the link you provided doesn't have one (it does have a DLL, what is that for?). Is there another JI6 that does have the .pit file? Is there a way to flash with adb instead?

Or is there a JI6 ROM that can be flashed from Clockwork ROM Manager? I'm new to this and have a stock phone that somehow hasn't gotten the over the air update since I got the phone in August. I have rooted the phone (z4root) and made a Nandroid backup and a Titanium Backup, and my phone doesn't appear to be hardware-locked (I can go into download mode). I've been reading xda for hours and can't figure this out. Any advice?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Pretty certain the development section bible has a link to a flashable version.

@s15274n, thanks for the quick reply! I may have missed it, but I checked the bible before posting and just checked again, and all I found was this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808830

^The .zip ROM was removed, causing problems for people.

and the odin .tar.

I also searched through the forum and didn't find it, but like I said, I'm new so maybe I missed it? Maybe I'll just skip it though and just dive in all the way and flash a 2.2 ROM like Master's Axura Final coming out in the next few days.

[Vibrant General] kslays:
@Moped_Ryder, the zip you linked to contains Odin, which I can't use (no MS Windows) and contains the same JI6 tar as above, but also includes the 512.pit file. I tried to flash via Heimdall by typing this (I untarred all the files to a subdirectory of Heimdall called T959UVJI6):

heimdall flash --pit T959UVJI6/512.pit --factoryfs T959UVJI6/factoryfs.rfs --cache T959UVJI6/cache.rfs --kernel T959UVJI6/zImage --modem T959UVJI6/modem.bin

But I got this error message:

Local and device PIT files don't match. Functionality for this is yet to be implemented.Ending session...

So no JI6 for me. Thanks for all the help, but I think I'll just go directly to Axura once Final (2.0.6) is released to the general public so don't worry about troubleshooting this further.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3py0n:
Basically here's the situation, been checking sites for a few weeks on good deals on 2nd hand Android phones. I recently started making contact with sellers and here's the bit.

Seller A - meeting tonight supposedly

Rogers "Unlocked" Captivate

Usb + Charger

$380

Haven't seen pics and the guy says to trust him that the phone is unlocked

Seller B - meeting tomorrow if I back down on Seller A offer

Bell Locked Vibrant (i9000M)

LNIB, bags, all accessories, etc

$370

Seen pics of the phone and accessories. Looks good (even seen it turned on)

I'm on Rogers and was wondering which would be best? I'm fine with either phone. At this point after seeing both for so long/often (researched) they're both on even playing ground...except for some speculations that i9000M (Vibrant)'s battery life is better.

So my question is...Seller A or Seller B? If I go with Seller B I'd have to root/unlock and I've read through threads and forums and seems like loads of people have problems :S More often than the person replying and saying thanks to the creator of the thread/helper and saying that they got it. So I'm having doubts about that. Don't want to mess up the phone!

Also, since this is my first dealings with buying something second hand from a stranger, any tips on things to check for? I heard it's always important to check that the phone can enter download/recovery mode but wouldn't that also reset the phone :S

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaelstromXC:
I personally like i9000M better (looks-wise) and of course, in terms of features, i9000M has a front facing camera which the Rogers Captivate doesn't. I am not sure if Captivate has problems flashing other roms.

As for things to check, you can bring a sim card from another carrier to test if the phone is unlocked. Test the camera, test phone call, check the phone condition and also firmware version (might give you an idea whether the last owner did a lot of flashing).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3py0n:
oooo true true...only thing is I have only 1 sim card from Rogers :S

I'm at the fork in the road right now...I won't be able to test phone call on the Bell one because the Seller B's bell sim is deactivated so he can only turn it on and what not.

Which is the safer bet? Best issue for me is the root/unlocking process. Though there are guides everywhere online and an awesome on here, I still read about many conflicts people have. And the interal SD card corruption (2 weeks after unlocking) I read about scares me :(

Is this the right code to check firmware?: *#1234# Firmware Version

Also I was told this should work...unless Rogers locked it: *#7465625# = Check the phone lock status
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxgg:
So you are willing to take the risk with possible hardware failure? right?

If so, choose Rogers Captivate.

If not go find a Desire Z or something like that~

But THAT'S the one that's unlocked lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaelstromXC:
You can unlock and root the i9000M easily though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3py0n:
yea but heard lots of horror stories :S so I'm not so sure...and someone reassured me things are okay with the Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaelstromXC:
I can tell you that rooting and unlocking won't kill the phone. But you will have a high chance if you start flashing different firmwares on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
The answer of which to choose is simple:

if you want front camera and hard key button go with Bell

if you don't need the front camera, and don't mind having 4 fake buttons go with Rogers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3py0n:
LOLOLOL 4 fake buttons haha jokes :P
