[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raikoue:
so by using the tool method on my white streak, does it mean my phone is rooted? or is there more i need to do to root my white streak?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
No, it won't be rooted. But that's easy to do. You can stay with Dell stock ROMs (download from their website) or go with DJ_Steve's ROM which is rooted and has lots of other features. Rooting isn't hard, though, if you stay with stock. Just use Super One Click and you'll be good. I'm not sure if either method is supposed to work, but my wife's only was rooted by the second method (rage against the cage or something like that).

Also, QDL Tool works for both black and white streaks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FBCoach:
I have the same situation as the OP. However when I try the instructions I make it all the way to the part of running the QDL tool. There I get an error message at about 12 seconds, during the section just after Run HEX success. The error says:

ERROR[D14]:streaming hello Failed!

ERROR: Download fail!

It then says to remove battery and try again, which I do and get another failure.

Any thoughts besides taking a hammer to this thing?

after the first time it went through the fastboot (Downloading AMSS) it rebooted and I had to manually put it back into the fastboot mode (hold camera) for it to fishing writing everything else.

I've moved on to the Samsung Galaxy Note... My Streak did it's year or so service as well as it could (it's still working without issue) but I wanted a phone that had actual support, I am an IT tech by day & just don't wanna have to mess with yet another system that I have to do go thru a few hundred pages of forums to figure out the true method of getting something to work or install. iPhone hackers have Android beat in that area for sure... 1 click root/jailbreak is the way it should be.... but iPhone doesn't have a 5.3" screen!!!!!!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
iphones/ios is full of >KNOWN< holes/vulurnablilites, every time a new ios ver is released, you have to wait for an exploit to be found for anything newer then a 3gs (or it's equiv itouch/ipad). The 2/3g has such large holes it's the equivilent of missing 1 side of a building.

android has no >KNOWN< exploits since 3.0, prob earlier. That's how 'noob mode' jailbreakers work. ios def has android beat as you always have to be careful with updates (vs bootloader-unlocked devices, some of us completely refuse to buy locked-only devices)

they both likely have more, but if you dont know about it it might as well not exist.

Unlocked devices like the S5 you only need to learn once and to re-root takes 5 minutes including reboots. You never have to worry about not being able to root on it and the like.

I'd imagine more android exploits will be found as ICS is available for bootloader-locked phones, HC more or less sidestepped this issue.

Hello all,

I recently flashed and installed cog onto my phone (mid/early november). When I woke up this morning my phone was spam calling my voicemail, not thinking much about it I assumed it was a glitch and rebooted my phone. Well now my phone is stuck in a downloading screen that of course tells me "not to turn off the target" and it has been like this for now well over an hour.

Has this happened to anyone before? Any advice?

Thanks for your help!

I love the DEFY really, but couldn´t find a customizer yet for the built in LED.

I want to config behaviour for e.g. sms or emails . Any ideas?
[Defy General] kendael:
Hello

You should have a look at Missed Call, available on the market. ;)
[Defy General] charlito:
I use missed call, sms notifier, email notifier.

The great thing with email notifier is you can select a different color depending of the e-mail account.
[Defy General] mrfab14163:
I tried Missed calls for Android 2.x on my Defy today but it didn't work. The LED was still blue when receiving a call and didn't flash when missed either.

Anyone having an idea?

I tried to disable led notification in the phone's settings but it still didn't work
[Defy General] molexxx:
App Blink -> Android Market
[Defy General] ctalianos:
Same thing for me. Tested all the apps. The led is not working.

Even with Led tester which says that is compatible with defy, doesn't work. What to do?
[Defy General] charlito:
I had a problem with the LED. When I activated it with the apps, nothing happen. I had to go in the phone settings to activate the LED.
[Defy General] mrfab14163:
Thanks for the hint molexxx. Do you own a Defy? Because I tried that app and it is not forking either. Not with LED turned on or off in general phone settings.

The only time I see this LED ever working is when receiving a phone call it is blue no matter what app I tell to light it in a different color

:(
[Defy General] psixda:
Have you tried "LED me know"?
[Defy General] molexxx:
Yes I have a defy. It works perfectly.
[Defy General] vanloque:
TESLA app is working for me.
[Defy General] saimonko:
I've used "Flashlight" (use camera LED) & "Shake-Flashlight" (use screen LED) from my Defy and both works fine
[Defy General] m0nk3e:
MotoTorch for LED, and QuickSettings has a Display Flashlight included.
[Defy General] tnicko:
I didn't have any luck with any of these programs either. Missed Call only worked for missed calls, lol. No other programs would change the color of the front LED.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gir489:
Refrencing changes from this thread I'm trying to change some stuff in the current framework-res.apk of this firmeware's framework-res.apk.

From what I've read, APKs only need to be signed if they're being installed, and using APK Manager, there's an option for System APK and Regular APK.

I decompile it with Option 1. Replace his ****ty icons with the default stock icons and then use option 7 with suboption 1. Push the APK to system/framework and overwrite the current one and then reboot. When I reboot I get a bunch of FCs and I have to do a clockwork recovery to get it working again.

When I open the original framework-res.apk with WinRAR, it says "signed with SignApk" in the note field. Does 2.2 require framework-res.apk to be signed? I can't get it to stop FCing on my recompiled framework-res.apk.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cezar`:
First of all, to get rid of all doubts, make sure the compression level is close to 0 (0 works for sure)

Then all you have to do is extract (1), modify files in 'projects', zip (3) unsigned (1). That's it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
If its a custom ROM - most likely you can tweak the files and shouldn't have any FC issues.

BUT... you I would recommend finding the icons you want to change.... and then copy them directly into the res/drawable-hdpl folder with WinRar open and have it overwrite the existing ones. I've done this a few times to change batt mods and other items with little risk.

And... if your tweaking *.xml files? This could be your issue as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gir489:
No. All I did was replace the connection icons with the stock ones from the 2.1 framework-res.apk in WinRAR. I use the "store" mode when I replace them, assuming that's the 0 compression method. Should I use Normal?

Try using the pershoot kernel thats what i did and now the problem is gone =)
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Others using the same rom have experienced the same thing. Some believe its because of set CPU setting for screen off or the kernal. Check out the roms thread and search it. You'll find some tips that have helped others contain the problem.

All is well.

I actually ended up flashing the pershoot kernel and it worked like a charm. No problems since(sense). Thx 2 every 1 for their suggestion's.
[Epic 4G General] juejaimon:
Hi All,

I wondering if someone can help me out. I rooted my epic and installed the latest android wifi tether and everything seems to be going okay as I am able to start tether and see the normal tether screen displaying Download 0.4kB and Upload of 0.3kB.

However i am not able to see connect correctly on my laptop. In the laptop, under wireless network connections, i see EpicTether (which i choose as the ssid) but the icon (right of the word EpicTether) looks different than the icons from my home wifi router. The EpicTether's icon is three blue boxes in the shape of a triangle where my home wifi shows the normal guage of wifi connectivity strength. I am using windows 7 premium by the way.

I've tried changing the channels on the epic, tried enable access-control under settings to no avail...

can someone please help? thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Android WiFi tether is an Ad-Hoc network (device to device), not an infrastructure network like your home wifi is. That's why the icon is different.

Why it cannot connect could be 1000000 different things. Is the laptop part of a company domain and its possible that policies are preventing connection to an AdHoc type connection?
[Epic 4G General] juejaimon:
Thanks for the explanation. so that icon is normal.

My laptop is not a company laptop, it is pretty basic for home surfing use.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
"pretty basic" to me translates as "should connect" lol. Not sure where you should go from there. I have heard lots of windows 7 ad hoc issues though. Search around google for "Windows 7 cant connect to ad hoc" and see what kind of fixes you see. ;)
[Epic 4G General] juejaimon:
Thanks again.... made some success...

i read that the intel drivers for the internal wireless card may need updated drivers for the ad-hoc....

installed the new drivers and am able to connect now!... but will not provide me internet access. :confused:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAceOfHearts:
I've been trying to flash the latest nightly or the RC2 and it keeps failing.

I've tried with both recovery-RA-nexus-v2.0.0.img (Amon_Ra) and recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-passion.img (Clockwork).

I've tried using radio-4.06.00.12_7.img, FRG83-radio-5_12_00_08.zip, FRG33-radio-5_08_00_04.zip.

I've tried update-cm-6.1.0-RC2-N1-signed.zip and cm_passion_full-274.zip.

I've tried formatting my microSD card.

I've tried downloading each of the files I've mentioned at least twice.

Every time I try to flash either RC2 or any nightly, I get this:

Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC2-N1!
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img",
"boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.1.0-RC2-N1-signed
.zip
(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

On Amon_Ra I did 'Wipe ALL userdata', and it still didn't work.

On HBOOT I did CLEAR STORAGE as well.

I can use adb and fastboot if needed. But the ROMs just don't seem to want to install :(.

I'm confused and I've googled around but I haven't found any solution.

I was using RC1 previously, if it's relevant.

Any help is greatly appreciated! I don't really like bothering people, but I just can't figure out what to do. I tried searching, I always try searching :(.

After doing some more research I tried

I tried doing

fastboot flash boot boot.img

But it gave me an error.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBERG117:
I dont use cmd for anything unless absolutely needed. I just do straightfoward download to sd root and flash through recovery. Maybe the rc2 file your using is bad.

you mentioned bad sectors and such so try downloading a rc2 file from a different site, might work. Try using a different version recovery as well. That could help as well.

I am having the same problem.

The bootloader is definately unlocked. I am pretty sure it is rooted as I can use titanium backup and give it root access.... What is the issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isma.mail:
Maybe it is something related with your HBOOT version. I have mine 0.33.0012 and I have the same error you have. Really my error is in another rom based on 6.1.0RC2 and it seems it is related with the size of the kernel.

Previous kernel was near 1.2MB smaller than this one and maybe HBOOT 0017 manages better internal memory to give space to bigger kernel. Maybe updating HBOOT to 0017 solves this issue.

I am also looking into this problem here at xda to see what experts say ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pittsey:
It isn't something as simple as not formating the SD card correctly is it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
No, Status Error 7 means that an image write failed, this is typically because the image doesn't fit on the partition and all of your symptoms point to this. Bad blocks on the /boot partition will cause this.

Old but relevant info I posted some time ago: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6851045&postcount=1556 (don't use the files on that page!).

Now, the CM stock kernel is really, really small... so if that doesn't fit then you may have a major challenge installing any custom rom... :(

I've verified my rom (Kang-o-rama) works on most phones with bad blocks on boot, I spent a lot of time making this so but still, if you have too many bad blocks it will not fit.

One of my users got his Nexus replaced because he had so many bad blocks no kernel would fit once he'd removed the stock one... :(

fastboot boot boot.img

Doesn't write the kernel to /boot so you won't encounter the problems (just don't reboot).

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Attempts to actually write the image.

I think you're in replacement zone actually... if you wipe your current /boot partition you may never get another kernel on there. Be careful.

My other thread just draws attention to people interested in kernels, and I want to see a lot more votes come in. It really interests me to see current trends like this. Like myn warm! Its got the lead by a large margin. I want to see ratings by the hundreds of users if possible just to satisfy my curiosity.

Well have fun with it guys.

[HD7 General] Creka:
The motion blur from my HD7 while scrolling text is very noticeable. Is it the way it should be with a TFT LCD screen. My brother has a Samsung Omnia 7 and there is no motion blur while scrolling text.
[HD7 General] pistol44:
My best guess is it's the SAMOLED screen on the Omnia 7. I have the Surround and HD7 here and both have the "motion blur".
[HD7 General] tai4de2:
Change the HD7 to light theme and see if it goes away.
[HD7 General] yly3:
Yes it's how it's supposed to work with LCD screen especially the big ones. I remember I bought a Samsung LCD for my PC several years back and when I was playing FIFA the players got blurry when the camera was moved instantly.

To be honest for me it's not a deal-breaker and I am not even bothered by it.In fact it kinda gives a cool futuristic factor which next-gen games seem to have these days but that's just me.
[HD7 General] Creka:
Guys, we are talking about 2010 LCD tech where most TFT screens can cope with motions. Scroll text can't really compare with playing games and watching sport events.

Have not tried playing action games on my HD7, but scroll "black" text seems better, but scroll colour/white text, the motion blur is a bit unbearable, makes me a little dizzy.
[HD7 General] bluegreenwhite:
i 've tried LG optimus7, HTC Mozart and Trophy - all have this motion blur (set with HIGH brightness on black screen). I think HD7 is just more obvious due to size of screen compared to the rest (3.7-3.8")

[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
wouldn't turning on both green and amber at the same time make a third color?
[myTouch 4G General] Sxyman815:
What im wondering is if we mix colors or take led files from another device and push. although the two diff colors green and amber mixed looks like when your charging the phone if you look close the green is on too... i think

anyone know how to add a color? or mix and match with the 2 colors we have?
[myTouch 4G General] hawaiian.monzta:
To add a color you would have to actually add on another led. You can't just add another color with a code because led only have colors that was originally put on them. If nobody put a green led for the full charge notification. No green led would be available. I'm pretty sure I'm accurate on my statement but if I'm wrong feel free to correct
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
Or maybe a green-amber....green,amber....green,amber blink pattern.
