had same problem. Unless its preventing you from installling market apps its not a big deal and nothing to worry about. If you absolutely want to modify it while on custom rom then the id changer should work. But in all most all instances ODIN one-clicks back to JF6 will restore your device id.

Want you to look at something first as you could have 2 problems. Most froyo roms will change your device id to a generic 004...#. Generally when you flash back to stock it will restore your original IMEI.

It wasn't until i had used an i9000 rom that i had the following problem. Not only was my IMEI changed....it changed my product code to a T-mobile code. What should have been SGH-I897kzaatt was showing as SGH-I897kzatmb. Even flashing stock was not restoring either IMEI or product code. Ended up having to edit binary file in efs folder but it gave me headaches. (can walk you through but want you to make sure your product code is ok first.

To check your product code the easister method is SHS Toolbox (not SGS Tools) from market.

You will need (Root Permission):

1. Install Busybox from Market

2. Install SGS Toolbox from Market.

3. Make sure you also download TERMINAL EMULATOR from market as you may need it to restore your voice and 3G connections later in process. There are 2 versions make sure you get the one with more stars.

Once you have done 1-3 run SGS Tools and select the CHECK PRODUCT CODE. Report the results back here.

I need to change my product code back... can you help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WandererTJ:
When I had 2.1, I was able to connect to my College's exchange account, but now that I flashed 2.2 on my phone, I can't get on my email. When I go to my email via laptop, and look under my mobile settings it shows 2 Androids listed, obviously 1 is when I had 2.1 and the other my 2.2.

My problem is that on the 2.2 one, exchange says:

Device ID: Validate

whereas for my 2.1 one, exchange says:

Device ID: droid(and then a bunch of numbers)

How do I "Validate" my device ID?

Is my device ID and my Android ID one in the same?

I dl'd the Android ID Changer, and the ID it shows is completely different from what I had before, can I change it back to what it showed for 2.1 in my exchange account?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarrellRaines:
Yes you can change it back, just type in the original id and hit save.

Although if you are having issues with it being recognized on your schools email, the tech support staff at your school most likely could fix the validate issue for you a heck of a lot faster than we could since we have no control over it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
Device ID does not = Android ID

Device ID = IMEI

and should match the imei on the label under your battery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
once you check your product code you are likely to see it is incorrect.

The link i am going to provide repairs the nv_data files with correct product code for your device (which in my case allowed the IMEI to be restored to original).

Your product code should be SGH-KZAATT (but is likely SGH-KZATOR or SGH-KZATMB).

Flash to stock JF6 2.1 eclair and try what worked for me if you find your product code to be incorrect.

wasn't being critical toward you sorry.

was just trying to make sure he was clear on the different ID's

but looks like he may have already used android id changer and possibly tried to modify his Android ID to his Device ID which could be a problem especially if he didn't write down his original Android ID that is used for the market/google.

I know we have made some raised "covers" for preventing the turning on and off of the power button, but has anyone looked into software changes that would require an extra long press on the button for activation? Now it only takes a quick pulse to turn it on in the case, but it it took, say a 5 second hold to activate, this might cure 90 % of the random starts or shut downs.

What do you think?

Or you need to get mac in your code?
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i saw somewhere on XDA:

1. turn off the Mac ID filter

2. connect the HD7 to your router

3. check the connected devices, u will find the new device and jot down the mac ID

4. now u can add the Mac ID on your router..

this is what i did, and HTC called me and told me there is no way at this moment i can get the Mac ID... kidding right..

<---- Idiot jus dropped his epic in sum water & of course it's not working!! I dried it out w/ a towel & blow dryer after it happened. When I connect the battery the keyboard keys still lights up, but when I press the power button all I hear is a ringing type noise (sounds like a fan spinning) and no bootup. I cannot boot into CWM or Download mode either. Has anyone experienced this or found a solution w/o having to replace the whole phone.

** Also, my battery has the red marking on the top of it stating it's been wet.

EDIT: If I plug in my usb the LED light comes on, but it's blue & my phone was @ 80% when I dropped it.

Thanks in advance!!

UPDATE: [ I couldn't wait the 48 hours!! (36 Hours) -- LoL ] I just removed my phone/battery from the rice bags & everything is working!! Yes, even the battery is good @ 72%!! I can't believe it worked!! Thanks Matrix!! And thanks to everyone for your great suggestions!! This phone is truely EPIC!!
[Epic 4G General] thematrixkid17:
Turn it off and remove the battery now!!! Do not put the battery back in.

You're going to mess it up by turning it on when things are shorting out!

Take the battery and the phone. Put them (separately) in a zip lock bag full of rice. Wait a day or two. Then try it out.

PS: Everyone should ingrain themselves in this reflex: If your phone hits water, remove the battery NOW. Do the rice trick, and try it later. Resist the urge to see if it still works.
[Epic 4G General] crackem:
Thanks for your quick replay & suggestion matrix!!

I am currently trying your method, but I'm hoping I didn't further short anything on the circuit board by trying to get it to work earlier.. It sounds like a good plan because the rice will absorb the water and probably be ready for consumption in a day or two!! LoL
[Epic 4G General] hdnet1:
Forget the bag of rice, you need to take the phone apart immediately, to the last screw and board and wipe down everything with alcohol and blow it out and dry it with a hair dryer. Otherwise even if you get it to work in a couple of days, corrosion will start to build up on the contacts of various things inside and you'll end up having to get another phone.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
And this is why that extra $7.00 a month is worth it.
[Epic 4G General] icevapor:
Forget about taking it apart... you're garonteed t miss somthing and the corrosion will kill it anyways. I know for a fact :)
[Epic 4G General] crackem:
Soo .. which 1 should I do?? They both sound right to me!! I checked on YouTube & I seen a vid about using the rice technique, but no vid about completely taking it apart to dry off the components??

I do have the warranty -- Doesn't water damage void it?? They can tell by the red marking on the battery.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No, just means you gotta pay them whatever the current fee is for water damaged phones. Used to be 50 bucks, but I think the crooks doubled it. As for taking it apart, forget about that nonsense. Bag of rice for a couple days, take it out, if it boots up you are fine.
[Epic 4G General] crackem:
Cool .. I really didn't wanna take it apart. I would have prob did more damage to it!! LoL I will wait out the 2 days & post back w/ an update then.

Thank you all for your help!!

CRC Mass Air Sensor Cleaner

You can find it at auto parts stores, its an electrical component cleaner that displaces water, removes grime, grease, corrosion and dries with no residue.

You have to take it apart to use it and don't get it on plastic stuff. CRC makes several different electrical component cleaners and some of them will eat plastic so be careful with it.

Saved my Sprint Hero with this stuff after it landed in a puddle and spent about two minutes fully submerged in the water before I found where it landed. Luckily I was home, ran inside, took it apart and grabbed a can of CRC I had in the garage on a whim.

Granted, I never tried turning it back on while it was still wet, that is often the killer for wet electronics.

Just figure that its dead, whatever you do to it at this point isn't going to hurt it anymore but I would HIGHLY recommend taking it apart to make sure you get all the moisture out of it. I don't put much faith in the rice trick
[Epic 4G General] crackem:
True, it prob is near dead at this point. I will try this solution if the rice trick doesn't work tomorrow. Hopefully, one of these solutions work out!! Thanks for your input!!
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
It's def dead if u already tried to turn it on.

Just tell them you dropped it off the side of a boat.......then you wont have to show it to them

My buddy dropped his epic4g in the toilet bowl, he was paying insurance ($7.99 a month.) He did the samethings you did and did the rice trick and nope didn't work. Ended up calling sprint and spending 150 I think for a replacement phone.

What should I do??? I don't have warranty but could I take it to T-mobile or somethin?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Does the backlight turn on with a black screen or does the screen not even power on at all? If you rooted it then you technically voided your warranty. Unless you can find a way to unroot your phone.

However, if the screen really isn't working then tmobile probably won't be able to tell, they'll just give you a new one. Its worth a shot.

The screen doesn't power on at all XO, only the front lights and the vibration turn on when the power button is pressed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
My guess with my limited knowledge on how the Slide is actually built on the inside would be that a connector became loose or broken or something, but it could be numerous things.

Anyway, if it doesn't turn on at all, chances are T-mobile won't think twice about it and just send you a new one, as long as you are within the one year warranty period. If they figure out that you voided your warranty they won't charge you for it unless you authorize them to, so it's worth a shot, you've got nothing to lose since your phone doesn't work anyway at the moment. I would just send it in if I were you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whubbard:
So I'm thinking of trying out the Cyanogen 6-1 for my Vibrant and it says under the instructions to flash an "initial kernel" with ODIN. Only problem is that I've only ever flashed full builds in ODIN and I'm not sure what to do.

Do I just place the 7mb kernel in the PDA slot and put the 512 file in the PIT slot?

(can't imagine this would work)

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chupacabra613:
I was under the impression that you didn't use a pit, just the kernel file in the pda. Odin will display kernel in the upper left status box. I tried it after flashing the JAC kernel and had to revert back to stock. Couldn't verify that it worked as I had to load up JFD to fix my problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgs991099a:
I'm in the same boat as you. Enough to be dangerous, but not smart enough to recover from the brick without hours of searching. If I were to write this procedure, I'd write it out in very simple terms that anyone can understand (not "flash this", but more like "put this file here, this file there, etc"). Maybe someone who has CM on their phone could be kind enough to do that. Help out the people who haven't had a chance to spend hundreds of hours doing this...

You can try this, I personally did it with adb so I honestly have no idea how well it works. Hell I'm I can't even say it works for sure.

Well good luck
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
You obviously did not read through that thread, it was shown to not work. That root method doesn't involve the flashing of the engineering bootloader, which is required to be able to flash self signed update packages in recovery, such as clockwork recovery. People ran into errors because they couldn't flash clockwork. They also couldn't flash the engineering build because they were not rooted.

So, in short, to the OP, no, you cannot root without ADB. You CAN download an app that will give you temporary root, but that will only allow you to use applications that require root, it won't allow you to actually flash a custom ROM. For that you need to follow nbetcher's root method, which is in the android dev section, it's a fairly obvious thread in capital letters near the top

my market is not working and i have tried clearing market data and download manager

[Fascinate General] soba49:
Sorry Chuban7,

Usually it is a data issue, so you are on the right track. Unfortunately, I do not know of a comprehensive writeup on the topic of cleaning out data. I am too lazy to post my own because of all the testing involved coupled with an ignorance of the topic. However, here is a list of things you can try (with duplicates)

* Adrynalyne's Market Fix:

1. go to settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ and Clear Data for Checkin Service, Market, and Market Updater

2. use adb shell or buy root explorer to navigate to /data/data and delete all com.android.vending.* folders

3. Reboot. 4. Send check to Adrynalyne

* wipe data in rom manager before installing a zip update

* clear cache in regular recovery

* clear cache in ClockWorkRecovery

* factory reset / clear data in either of these.

* wipe dalvik in CWR or Titanium

* factory reset in settings/privacy

* *228 or *22800, then option 1 to activate (if you can't login to google account or market)

* applying another rom or kernel via CWR

* flashing system or kernel with odin (see fallingup's stickied back to stock guide) [whoever owns 'angel12' on XDA... tell us what encouragement you need to give that up]

* applying kernel and mbr by hand or running adrynalyne's script in 'how to completely remove voodoo' (if, say you are getting 0.0 errors)

Note you can also use Jack Palevich's Terminal Emulator (and su) if you want to mess around in /data/data

[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
lol. No dice on all. Next?
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Your specific problem is market installs will start, but never actually download any data at all.

Is that correct?

I'd really like to see a proper solution for this one as it has hit a lot of people at one time or another. Besides that, Daswolven knows his way around better than many of us here (certainly myself), so it could be me next time. Only fix that worked personally is pre-voodoo nandroid (cwr) restore... which is hardly ideal. Especially since it didn't work for Daswolven.
