I followed the following steps a friend sent to me to root my phone.

"1. Go into clockwork recovery and go into "mounts and storage" and do system, data and cache FORMAT. Then do the data, cache and dalvik wipes."

Now my phone will not boot up past the Samsung screen where it seems to freeze every time i turn it on. Can someone guide me on getting back powered on? If not, would a Sprint store take a look at it if its not booting up?

Please assist Asap guys, I appreciate it!!

No boot after format

I see you still have no reactions about this, but did you found a solution yet?

I did the same and no startup anymore. so we must never format anymore uh:D

If you know something please sent me a message, also when you got to repair it at the shop
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steve19137:
i know nothing about the epic in particular, but i know this about systems. you wiped the /system partition of the internal flash storage. the system partition holds, well, the system. android itself. you completely erased it. its like taking your pc, erasing the entire hard drive, and complaining that it wont turn on past the BIOS.

so, you could use the tool that sprint and samsung provide to go back to a completely stock system, including loosing clockwork recovery, or you could flash a custom rom, because a custom rom is a system, and it would fill the /system partition back up with usable data. hope this helps you understand android in general a little better.

I am using the standard mail app installed on the Desire for my pop3 accounts.

When email is downloaded it shows in the inbox then suddenly disappears before I can open/read it. Some mail just stays there others vanish.

Has any one else had a similar problem or can anyone shed any ligh as to why this happens.

I have tried using K9 mail but it is not very user friend/explanatory.Is there any other app people would recommend....

Apart from this the phone is excellent...
[Wildfire General] torque2584:
Guys,

I recently rooted my HTC Wildfire successfully using Unrevoked3 now I would like to return to the original state of my wildfire.

Before rooting my phones Build number was 1.25.720.1 which i cannot find anywhere, if anyone can help would be really thankful.

Please help me find my stock ROM, waiting eagerly

Thanks.

[Wildfire General] ShirazSuleman:
Hi Guys,

Sorry to hijack this thread but my friend has just bought a Wildfire and his software version is 1.28.421.1

Before rooting, I would like to make sure that it can be unrooted but I cannot find that RUU version on the shipped-rooms link from the post above.

Can I do a nandroid backup without rooting the phone?

Or what else can be done to ensure that the phone can be unrooted in the future?

Thanks

Shiraz
[Wildfire General] torque2584:
Thanks...but your nandroid backup must be after you rooted your device if that's the case then it will still be rooted and will have the superuser icon....if you managed to take a backup before rooting then your backup could be of great help

Please let me know :)
[Wildfire General] mac4rfree:
i do not think we could take a backup without rooting the phone.. (correct me if i am wrong)... so sorry cudn help u then..
[Wildfire General] danieloo:
so, summary is, nanroid can't UNROOT your phone to original form, right?

how to get back to original state. My original Stock ROM was 1.25.707.1, which I couldn't get from shipped-rom.

Can I simply use the closes ROM available 1.25.405.1 ??

Will it brick my phone?
[Wildfire General] nlovers2000:

[Wildfire General] fsacred:
I don't know why you guys want to get back to a stock Rom !

What's it worth ? You'll be missing the best part of your device !

I first had a thought like "flash makes it run out of guarantee",

but believe me guys, I did a try and installed my backup just to see it again,

and I've come know that CyanogenMod is far and away better ! :D

Ok people, we all agree that the MT4G community needs some dev love. Well it's time to get off our asses and do something about it. Please list what devs you wish would get a MT4G and start cooking roms and I will open a poll for everyone to vote.

After a winner is decided I will start a dialog and a collection with the winning dev to gauge their interest and hopefully get them a myTouch to start working on.

This community can be everything we want it to be, but we need to start making it happen! Let's go people.

[myTouch 4G General] setzer715:
I think all of you guys are a little confused on how a GOOD ROM gets developed and need to come back down to reality.

First of all most (if not all) dev's DO NOT want people buying them phones as it causes those donors to feel like that dev OWES them. They get requests, demands, people just being A-holes when things are not developed fast enough. If you can find a dev that is cool with this, then by all means.

Second, and more importantly, development of a good ROM is usually a combination of multiple developers. One is good with Kernals, another with the Frameworks, another with the Camera applications, another with Wifi/Bluetooth/Radio, etc. etc. "Contracting" (which in a sense is what your doing) one developer will mostly likely not resolve EVERYONE who puts into this things issues/requests and will cause complaints and problems. Just FYI, look at ANY good ROM out there and ALL of them have thanks to multiple other dev's because they have all developed something that went into that ROM.

Food for thought.
[myTouch 4G General] setzer715:
Are you friggin kidding me?!?! ALL we had for months on the G1 was JF's ROM's. Not that they sucked, but it was all there was available and those ROM's were just ROOT enable (with superuser) stock ROM's. The mytouch took months to ROOT, and didn't have crap but stock for months itself. Nexus, same thing, how do I know, I own/owned them all from release date. Get a clue and quit whining. You don't like the dev support in less than a month for release, get a friggin Nexus (and clue) instead.

I would like to have vanilla ROM for this just AOSP neat (no rocks, no soda) please

[myTouch 4G General] daewond3r:
Well said setzer715.

Eugene's great too. His SlideMeRoot rom for the Slide was my favorite before CM6 was out (and it ran smoother, although I'm sure the Slide CM6 is better now).

[myTouch 4G General] corwest:
The team is no doubt busy with the slew of Port requests they get on a daily basis. (just go to the CM site and look under the Ports section of the forum) Like many have said, the phone's only been out for a month and the things we can already do to it is astonishing. Let the Devs breathe and remember that they do this stuff out of the kindness of their hearts. They owe us nothing. If anything we owe them more than they get.

Hi,

I have pre-ordered one of these from Play.com as they are doing it for £22.50 where as everywhere else is selling for £30 RRP or sometimes more.

Anyone got their hands on one yet? I pre-ordered a few weeks ago when i first got my Defy and the stock status has gone from stock arriving 29th Nov to Awaiting Stock. I guess the weather isn't helping.
[Defy Accessories] senergy:
I've wanting to order one as well. Look forward to any feedback people have.
[Defy Accessories] milesg:
Many thanks for that info, have just ordered one from Play.com - showing as in stock now, but with this snow who knows how long it will take to arrive.

It's going to look just dandy on my motorbike!
[Defy Accessories] ZootHornRollo:
Status is now updated to 'Packing' so hopefully will have it soon enough.

I'm going to assume the mail will slow for a while yet while they clear backlog so if i have it by next weekend that'll be good enough for me.

(and besides, i need to switch over my car stereo before i can use the audio lead)

Hi, I was very lazy and ordered the first genuine Motorola one i saw on the web from clove. I didn't notice the price didn't include tax or postage. Doh!

Its a great mount,if a little bulky. I didn't know about magnet to trigger the car dock app. So as I started playing I clicked the phone in and the app came on its like Wow (yes i am easily pleased). And if you dont like the Auto trigger just put the phone in the other way round and the magnet is in the wrong place to work.
[Defy Accessories] senergy:
I can't really tell from the pics, but do you have to plug the micro usb in separately or is it one motion. i.e. is the cable separate or is it firmly attached to the cradle?

Also does the cradle rotate to be long ways instead of wide?
[Defy Accessories] ZootHornRollo:
accordng to expansys description :
[Defy Accessories] senergy:
yea, read that, would just like to see some actual pictures.

I've ordered it anyway, so I just need to get some patience.
[Defy Accessories] cactus6220:
car mount

The micro usb connection is completely separate.There are no sides to the mount at all,only a back and the little corner clips.So two actions.

There are two little tabs on the back that you can clip the power cord to, and leave a little loop to plug the charger into the phone. You could then route the cable out of the way of the

radio or heater controls and not have to re-route it every time.

But as I have previously wrecked a usb connection on my last phone I plug it in on my lap pushing very gently. Then clip phone into the mount.

The phone holder to the suction cup stand is a ball and socket joint, so it can be twisted and rotated through any angle. It can also be tightened, to lock the position.

Hope this helps. C

I bought mine from Clove

w w w. clove. co. uk I cant post links as still a newbie

But worked out at nearly £33 with tax and shipping, it did arrive in 2 days, but would rather have waited at a cheaper price.

Some other orders for stuff (from different suppliers) took 12 working days.

It was 2nd class post which is quoted as 8-10 working days, so what with the Xmas post yours should arrive any day, but a polite mail to them wouldn't hurt.

car mount photos

Hi,

hear are some photos, taken with my Defy. I did take some with my camera with the Defy in the dock, but it looks like my pc is not seeing the SD card.

Your diy mount looks great. My kind of modding, hacksaw and zip ties and minimal planning!

I had thought of getting 2 mounts, the extra one i was going to look at making a bike mount for.

but I dont think it would make a good starting point for a bike mount. Not for the price anyway.

The phone is not that tightly held in the mount. You can pull it straight out without releasing any of the corner tabs. Fine for driving unless your on the Paris-Dakar, but wouldn't trust it on a bike.

On my last phone bike mount hack (Nokia 6220 classic) from

e cell shop E Bay

I just put a couple of elastic bands around it and it was fine. But as the defy has such a great and big screen there's little room for anything across the front.This was a dry weather mount only!

You can buy adjustable car mounts for less than £10, thats 3 goes at modding for the same price as the Motorola. or

Wouldn't it just slip in your current mount?

Hope this helps N.
[Defy Accessories] senergy:
thanks for the pics, very disappointed its a 2 part process to mount and attach the cable.. o well. I'm expecting mine in the post late this week.

I probably wont put one my mountain bike since its more 4x (hard to get lost on those trails) but will probably get one for my Motorbike.
[Defy Accessories] ZootHornRollo:
Thanks for the photos.

I am a really a bit disappointed in how it looks and the cable "routing" is just rubbish!

Glad i didn't pay top whack for it. The reason i bought an official one is i am sick of cheap half-arsed aftermarket chaff - this doesn't look a lot better in either form or function.

But regardless, mine still hasn't turned up yet. :(
[Defy Accessories] cactus6220:
I know what you mean about the cables. PANTS!

But the phone clip in and out is a satisfying click that makes you want to do it 'cause you can.

But I dont think it would be an easy option to make it a one operation mount and still keep the little covers over the connection holes.

Im going to wait and see what the desk dock is like.If thats not one operation I may as well just lean the phone on a book

Anyone know if this phone sticks securely to a Clingo car mount? The company say that rubberised backings aren't suitable, but my Desire backing feels rubberised and sticks great (but peels off slowly due to it being a curved surface).

finally got my official car mount and despite the appauling cable 'solution' i actually like the mount. It feels a bit cheap in your hands but once installed it is solid enough.

I had a bit of trouble trying to find a suitable mount location in my Renault Trafic van as i wanted to avoid just sticking it to the windscreen. I managed to 'hang' it from the underside of the dash-top overhang.

Would have been nice if Motorola could have been a bit clever with the cabling and maybe had audio outputing via the microusb with a split cable going to a 3.5mm and the charger - just to cut down on the process of plumbing it in each and every time you get in or out of the vehicle.

Does the Defy route phone call audio via the headphone socket in cardock mode? woul dmake for a decent hands-free solution.
