This is true, you won't be able to update radios and such from within recovery.

I just use fastboot, easy enough. fastboot flash radio radio.img etc...

Also for hboot, most of those recovery flashable zips have an hboot flashable zip inside.. usually called 'firmware.zip' or similar. You can extract that and rename it PC36IMG.zip and hboot away. Hopefully these posts help save people some time and frustration.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
Yeah, fastboot is the easy way.

Otherwise just re-flashing an unedited recovery, flashing whatever radio etc, and then re-running this.

Is this issue an inherit part of this modification or is it just an error that could be corrected?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tankcole:
Instead of using fastboot, can I just flash an unedited recovery using adb?? I can't seem to get fastboot to work flash a recovery. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
so if I understand this correctly I need to change the mdtpartmap to reflect my rom size?
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Basically, yes. It needs to be larger than the ROM when installed to your phone. There are several ways to figure this out. You can install the ROM normally and then check your /system partition size, and make your mtdpartmap slightly larger than this.

Titanium backup is probably the easiest way. It shows "System ROM". You have to subtract the smaller number from the larger number. I.E. Mine says: System ROM: 367MB (251 MB FREE). That tells me my ROM takes up 116MB of space installed. I would probably set the first number in mtdpartmap.txt to 118.

[Galaxy Tab General] pda_crazy:
Hi guys

i just bought my galaxy tab and spent last one hour playing it. I have choose galaxy tab over ipad just because its size that it comparatively handy.

I am a HTC desire user and i am very obsessed by the HTC desire Facebook integration. I couldn't find same functionality in galaxy tab. Could you please help me to find out how can i get following functioanalities.

1. How can i get Facebook widget like HTC has where can i see my friends update?

2. How can i get Facebook sync with my friends contacts like HTC. I can see my Facebook contacts but i want them to link with my Google accounts?

3. How can i get contacts widget like HTC in galaxy tab where can i see their Facebook profiles pics?
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Short answer: you need to spend some more time with it LOL

Install FB app from market. It will ask if you want to sync Contact, say yes. Hit your tab by holding down the finger and select add Widget, you should see FB there. Add it then change the refresh settings to your liking.
[Galaxy Tab General] pda_crazy:
Hi

thanks for the reply. I followed same steps but contact sync with Facebook is not good as HTC phones.
[Galaxy Tab General] eskasi:
I have this same issue. THe sync with Samsung is HORRIBLE. Contact photos do not sync well, links cant be established properly and IF you can link contacts, you can't choose to use say FB's contact photo?? WTF.

Even Windows Mobile 6.5 was better than this! I could click on a contact... in options, choose link to FB contact and viola. GReat especially when some people don't like to use real or full names on FB and use different email addresses for work and social. After that, you could even hold down over the contact photo and then choose to use FB photo, something from the callery or even take a photo!

I used syncmypic to try do this and it helped a little but it still wont work fully.

Also... even if you manage to link contacts manually, you can't choose to use FB photo if there already is a photo for your contact... annoying and poorly thought out...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rh34rt:
Hi,

I just noticed this was ready to download on my phone today. I downloaded and went to install, but the ClockWordMod Recovery doesn't let me install the update saying, "Image Verification Failed". I assume the problem is that the phone is rooted, and searching through the forums I heard this update isn't really anything big, just removing some German apps or something.

Is there anyway I can stop this update from notifying me? Or anyway to install? My phone is rooted but I'm not bothered about keeping it rooted as at the moment, there is nothing I need the phone to be rooted for. So, either way is fine for me.

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benko286:
If you want to unroot it, just flash generic ruu, more info here http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/

Than simply check for updates and update it :)

Or wait for few hours for rooted version of this rom ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KobiP:
Hi!

I have a branded Desire and installed the update via Recovery. I had to disable the verification to do that (Goldcard inside). But all I got was a boot loop and my phone was derooted. I tried much (e.g. delete my data) and after a couple of hours I found the simple solution: Simply install the update again. Then I rooted my phone and restored the NANDROID Backup I made before I started the update because all of my data was gone.

Then I installed the Update again and this time it worked at the first time. All data was still there. I rooted it again and everything is fine. Don't know why my phone got a boot loop after first try but second try was perfect!

My suggestion: copy the zip from the download folder to the SDcard (made to a Goldcard!!!!) root and to the PC. Just if you need it more than once. Then make a Backup in the Bootloader. Then Install the update via Recovery. If anything goes wrong install the update again!

Am I missing something?

Am I supposed to have flash payer with this rom, because I dont. I even downloaded the latest version of flash player, and still nothing! If I go to HBO.com, or HULU it says my phone does not or cant run flash

BTW, the installed version of flash on my phone is1 10.1.105 from whatismyflash.com
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tructo:
Because hbo and hulu doesnt support android device. It even say it when u try hulu
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Even tho you have flash player, there are some sites where its not supported. Such as hulu, hbo. Its like that on any 2.2 rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
That is the latest version of Flash for Android. I just tested using two browsers and HBO was telling me the same, however, I also check a site that I have watched video on before, CNET.com and was able to watch. It's certain sites that we still can't access but most work fine. I'm seeing conflicting info about the version for PC for instance I have installed 1.1.85.3 and there is a version available that is 10.1.102.64. So bottom line is my previous sentence. But iI did notice that HBO offers an Iphone app.

Update; Only referenced the PC versions to show that there are multiple versions of flash.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
As others stated, there is nothing wrong with flash. The sites are blocking what devices access their videos. At one point android users were able to access hulu videos by using skyfire. The next day Hulu blocked it. It's not an axura issue, or an android issue. It's a content provider decision. I hope that helps.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] t3mp3st:
Hey Everyone,

I am not certain how specific this issues is to my exact situation, so I am describing every related aspect that I can.

Details

Phone: HTC MT3G (3.5mm Jack version), rooted, running CM 6.1.0 RC1

Network: Wind Mobile (in Canada)

-- please indicate if any other details are needed for troubleshooting --

Issue

Wind mobile offers an unlimited plan that includes data, provided you stay within what they call their "Home Zone (ie the metropolitan area known as GTA, in my case). When travelling outside of the Home Zone, you enter an Away Zone. This is essentially roaming on Rogers network, using 2G (Edge) for data. This costs a lot and so naturally I don't want to roam.

Before the phone was rooted and upgraded, I had checked the box to in settings to disable data while roaming. I travelled in and out of the Home Zone and it worked as expected - that is, turning off the data connection as soon as the network switched from Home to Away. As expected, it re-enabled data upon re-entering the Home Zone.

Since rooting/updating, this functionality seems to have disappeared. I have the box checked, but as soon as I step into an Away Zone, it switches to 2G and starts using data whilest roaming. At first, I thought this might be because I performed the upgrade process in an away zone and as such, the phone would associate that with being "Home". However it keeps data across Home and Away (which negates that theory as "Home" should now be "Away" and data disabled.

I wiped and started again in a Home Zone, with no success.

So:

1) Is there something I am doing wrong, or a known way to remedy this issue?

If not,

2) Is there any way to disable 2G (similar to the way you can disable 3G for battery savings?) This would be an indirect way to solve the issue, as the only time 2G is used is when the phone is in an Away Zone.

Thanks for any advice and help you can provide!

[Android Apps and Games] cluster2a:
Hey... sorry for my bad english :)

I noticed, that there are some apps missing, when I search for them in the market.

When I enter "busybox" or "Metamorph" it shows me some apps, but not te right ones.

Wehn I try to install BusyBox in Appbrain, it is juping into the Market and it tells me "The requested Element could not be found" (in German) :)

I have a rooted x10 mini with Android 2.1

I already set "allow the installation of unknown sources".

Even if I go to another store and scan the barcode, the market tells me, that the element could not be found.

Does anyone know where the Problem is?

Maybe it's me ;)

Anybody else running into "Obtaining address" limbo with wifi tether?

Once out of about thirty tries (really) I could get the Gtablet to see my Incredible and connect.

Due to this issue, I updated the Gtablet with the adhoc file from another thread. Now, the Wifi Tether app sees my Incredible everytime I turn the Incredible on, but the Gtablet keeps stating "Obtaining address", but never connects.

Ironic- went from basically never seeing the Incredible, but connecting when it did, to always seeing the Incredible but not connecting. Ouch.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
I had tethered successfully every time I tried with the wpa_adhoc-signed.zip but this morning I installed the "tegra performance update" and hadn't tried since then.

When trying....I saw my phone's SSID of Android listed instead of (*)Android like it was when working....and it wouldn't show it was available/in range.

I had to reinstall the wpa_adhoc-signed.zip and then every thing was back to working order...

(showing my infrastructure AP's as their SSID and my Adhoc AP as (*)SSID )

I never edited the wpa_supplicant.conf file as shown in some of the other post....just used the .zip (Stock TnT with Root and Market Hacks)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I am using the same file and updated with it after installing the 2.03 nvidia update. Does not seem to be anything in the Nvidia update to impact wifi.

I had a similar issue tonight after adding the new nvidia update. I reflashed the wpa_supplicant . After the reflash it still wouldn't obtain IP address so I removed my wep password, it then connected. I then went back into settings and used a new ssid and password and now it connects fine.
[HD2 General] ImeXis:
I got the following very weird problem..

when i yesterday went out of a club i noticed that my phone was off even if my battery was abt 60 percent..(running android) well i wanted to turn it on agian - nothing.. battery in / out , on again...

but the little problem was that in Winmob Sense couldnt get activated anymore (homesettings etc.) it starts loading sense but the screen stays blanc... a soft reset didnt solve the problem, even 10 didnt..

when i then booted android again .. the boot took about 15 minutes EVERY time.. instead of the usual 1 minute..

i formatted SD card now.. still all the same...

what should i do?? Please help!!!!

is a hardreset the only thing that could help? and if... do i have to b aware of anything? i mean i changed my radio etc.? does is affect the hardreset?
[HD2 General] huggs:
Try rebooting your phone without the sd card in it, and if Sense doesn't load up after a couple minutes, but still says 'Launching HTC Sense' up top of the screen, try pressing your start button, and then exiting your start menu by pressing the 'X' button at the top right of your screen. I have installed apps/done modifications to Sense that caused Sense to behave like that before, and sometimes this helps. If that still doesn't help Sense to load, you may have to do a hard reset, but I seriously doubt it had anything to do with running Android.

MP4 wont play from SD card

Ever since i rooted my Samsung Vibrant T959, I am unable to play MP4 video files from the SD card. If I move the file to the internal storage it plays just fine. I have a 32gb SD card and would rather save the phone memory for my APPS. Any suggestions? I have tried the original root (android 2.1) not sure what the official name for it is, CM7, and currently I am running Bionix v.1.3.1. I have tried multiple MP4 files. I backed up my entire DVD library so i have multiple MP4 to choose from. I have tried about 15 different movies so far. The only videos i can play now are certain AVI files. Is there anything i can do? I have tried RockPlayer, MoboPlayer, Tried to Drag and Drop, and I have tried to use Double Twist. Files will show up in my browser, but when i select them it says unsupported file type.

Sounds very cool.

Some of these battery predictor apps that I have tried have asked for my phone's type/model and as such I am assuming that what it is doing is loading a profile specific to the stock specs for what ever phone is picked, but it sounds like this is not the case with your app? I take it instead of relying on predefined profile your app looks at actual battery consumption and thus would take into account users who have their phones over and underclocked?

You mention a free and a full version of the app, what is the difference between these two?

Motalen's battery predictor app had a cool feature in that when you opened the app it would give you estimates on how much time is remaining to do certain activities (making a phone call, watching a video, listening to music, web browsing, etc) have you any plans on implementing something like this?

Finally I just want to note that I am not sure if I am a fan of the widget's design.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Thanks!

There are no downloaded/stored profiles for models of phone, so it should work on any Android device. Every time the battery drops (or charges) a percent, the Android OS notifies my app, which takes note of the time and day. It learns from those patterns. This also means that I'm not polling every X minutes, so there is no artificial draining of the battery.

The only assumptions made are that 100% means "full" and 0% means "empty". (And full may not even be assumed, I'd have to check through the code again)

I didn't mention it? Ack. I'll edit the first post with more/better information on that, but for now: the Settings screen is limited to "Autostart: Yes/No" in the Free version, while the Full version has a lot more customizations.

In the next version or two, the Free version will allow all settings to be seen, but not changed.

I was planning on making a Statistics screen, with things such as, the maximum your battery can last, by identifying the time you use it the least, and the minimum it can last, by identifying when it's used the most, and so on. I'll keep this idea in mind, as another addition to the Statistics screen, but would have to think about how to do it well.

Yeah, it was meant to be reminiscent of Star Trek, just because I'm a fan. I always intended to make a second one (that would look better on lighter backgrounds), but haven't yet thought of anything that I think would look nice. So I'm fully open to suggestions right now.

The three guidelines for the widget, in case someone wants to design one, are: The status bar (visual battery representation), the eye (what app it belongs to), and the 3 lines of text must be on it.

I've considered making those 3 lines of text fully customizable (Say, someone doesn't want the actual percent there), but again, I'd have to think about it how to implement it. (Already have a few ideas ;) )
