[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Guys,

My Desire was running AuraxSense 8.0 and has been for months. It's also S-OFF so running a different bootloader. This morning, it froze up. I couldn't power it down so I took the battery out. When booting it stuck on the splash screen and went no further. Repeated, tried with SD card removed, no joy.

Couldn't get into fakeflash/clockwork recovery (or recovery at all for that matter).

When I was at work I downloaded the WWE RUU standard T-Mobile ROM but this fails with a 140 error (presumably due to the incompatible bootloader), although it seems to have wiped the phone anyway. It'll boot into the recovery menu or fastboot but nothing else.

I tried a generic WWE later ROM but this fails with error 130 - customer ID (presumably becauase it's not a T-Mob ROM).

I wiped the SD and put a fresh copy of fakeflash update.zip on the root - now when I try to boot into the clockwork mod conosle I get @failed to open /sdcard/d[date.zip (no such file or directory) and e:signature verification failed.

Have tried a factory reset and no joy either.

I can't recreate a goldcard I get the following error:

Rics-MacBook-Pro:~ Ric$ adb devices

List of devices attached

HT044PL01063	recovery

Rics-MacBook-Pro:~ Ric$ adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Running unrevoked gives me "-exec /system/bin/sh failed: no such file or directory".

I'm stumped as to what to do now. Please can someone help me?

Ric

How long have you had the Desire for? If it is an AMOLED screen you can follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256

But when you donwload the downgrade tool, replace the PB99IMG file in it with the one from a T-Mobile RUU before you run the tool. It should then allow you to downgrade to an earlier T-Mobile stock ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
It's AMOLED. However, I can't downgrade without a goldcard, I don't think? And I can't generate one of them...phone doesn't boot into Android either...!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The downgrade tool is to go back to a stock WWE ROM. If you replace the PB99IMG file in the downgrade tool with your T-Mobile one from 1.21.110.4 then you won't need a gold card as it'll work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Great, trying it now. Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Just checked the HBOOT on the T-Mobile 1.21.110.4 RUU and it's 0.80

I don't think it'll be an issue but thought I'd mention it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Thanks. Dumb question probably, but how do I extract the PB99IMG file from the .exe RUU image?

Read a post which suggested taking the downloaded RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe file, renaming it to pb99img.zip and placing in the downgrade folder.

I've done this and sudo ./downgrade.sh with phone in recovery and detected by ADB devices, but the script stops at "Checking for device...waitign for device. Ensure USB debugging is enabled".

I can't boot the phone into android to turn usb debugging on...Help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
To get the PB99IMG out of an RUU...

1. Start the RUU

2. Once the first screen comes up for the RUU, move it down to the bottom of your screen as otherwise it stays on top of new windows

3. Once moved, go to Start>Run and type

%temp%

And click on OK

4. Go to the newest folder in that temp folder

5. Copy the file called Rom to your Desktop

6. Close the RUU updater and all other open windows

7. Rename the Rom file to PB99IMG
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
OK, got that.

But still hangs on "checking for device" when I run the downgrade script, and I can't turn USB debugging on as the phone won't boot..help! Really appreciate this, by the way.

EDIT: wooo, hang on. May have sorted it. Downloaded the original kousch fake flash, renamed to update.zip, booted to recovery, managed to get into recovery console and launch clockwork mod, now installing custom rooted ROM. Fingers crossed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
My phone was running great until recently. Rooted the phone, etc, installed a lot of apps. The phone started running sporatically. When scrolling screens there are delays. When listening to scanner audio, it is choppy. My task switcher started acting up, the app that kills pocesses acting up, etc. I tried stopping apps to find what is causing this with no luck. I ran the one click lag fix still no change. The only thing i can think of is I restored system files with Titanium backup and read somewhere that was not a good thing to do. I am still on 2.1 maybe 2.2 will fix things if AT&T get around to it. Anyone have any ideas on where to look for the problem?

Ok having an issue with my browser redirecting to different webpages when I click a link.

Basically when I go here and click " Click to go to host website"

http://www.surfthechannel.com/link/1/1289/6440184/0.html

To watch movies on my android it redirects me to some gaming website. When i go to this same link on any PC it goes straight to the megavideo link.

I remember this happening before when I was trying to watch videos and I got around it somehow. I think I just kept clicking the link until it got me there but not sure.

I've already tried using Opera Mini and Dolphin Browser plus the stock sense browser.

If someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it. Sometimes I get stuck in this office with nothing to do but watch these tv shows on my phone cause no PC is in the room.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] method115:
Did some more research on this turns out any megavideo link will redirect you to some games website.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] method115:
Just found out Skyfire isn't redirected. So if your trying to watch a megavideo link remember Skyfire will go to it and wont be redirected.

Dolphin HD, Sense browser, opera mini all redirected to some games website. Another reason I love having a choice with Android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perrito2000:
I installed Skyfire, but it redirectsme like Dolphin or stock browsers. Does it hapend to you?
[Desire HD General] aalwani:
so i was wondering, is there a windows mobile 7 ROM that can be installed on the Desire HD. and what about Dual boot Android / WM7? thanks.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Not a chance, Buy a HD7 if you want Windows Mobile.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
I just /facepalm when I see these threads... Everytime.
[Desire HD General] Scotchy49:
There's nothing to facepalm.

There wasn't less effort to port Android on Windows devices, but it happened, and we have Windows-based devices fully running Android.

But I don't this happening in the near future because there was a need to port Android to Windows devices, because Windows sucked balls.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
Not using the search function, and not Googling and making your fist post a question that has been asked before is most definatly a /facepalm.
[Legend General] ariaxu:
Hello,

I've just rooted my Legend for the first time. To do this, I downgraded to 1.31 via RUU, then rooted using the Modaco guide.

After the RUU downgrade, I noticed that the phone said "Emergency Calls Only". Being a complete noob, I continued along with the rooting process figuring that the root flash and later mod flash might fix the problem.

After the root, I still had emergency service only. Being excited that the root worked, I went ahead and installer Rom Manager, rebooted into Clockworkmod Recovery and installed Cyanogen 6.1.

Still "emergency calls only".

I looked in Network Operators to see if my provider (Bell Canada) was visible. Sure enough, it was there. I tried to join the mobile network but the device just sits there spinning until it times out. I set the correct APN settings, but of course that didn't help - I basic GSM service doesn't work, let alone 3G.

I then found an app called Secret Settings, which gives access to a bunch of nifty hidden configuration options. I worked my way through each of the preferred network types. None of them worked. :confused:

I assume that this has something to do with the radio firmware flashed during the downgrade, although it looked like radio was also flashed during root.

So here I sit with a fancy WiFi-only device that used to be a phone. Can this be fixed? What are my options?

Please help a very technical but new-to-android-modding noob out. Thanks in advance!
[Legend General] ariaxu:
Well, I seem to have fixed my own problem. Awesome!

Bell Canada HTC Legend users - if you've downgraded, rooted and are finding you have no service, or emergency only service...

Download "Secret Setting" from the market.

Tap Phone Information

Scroll down to "Set preferred network type"

Select "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"

Exit to the home screen

In your phone's Settings menu, select Wireless and Networks

Select Mobile Networks -> Network Operators

Make sure you're connected to Bell

Reboot
[Legend General] pfak:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your Phone, it does the same thing as "Secret Settings" and doesn't require you to install anything.

It's been listed a number of times on the forums. You also don't need to reboot to change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL, although you probably want to select WCDMA only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicacapo:
My phone isnt going well,i'm on JPO and since i make OCLF the battery drains completly in about 5 or 6 hours of moderate use...i disabled the OCLF and the problem didnt go away...the phone shows me that 99% of battery use is the screen...and when i connect the wall charger and use the mobile at same time, it dindnt get any charge...and sometimes it gets hotter...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Korshar:
I have the same problem.. battery drains 4% per 2 minutes of playing angrybirds or surfing the web.. also on jpo with OCLF =/

With android 2.1 and taskkiller the battery held much longer!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicacapo:
But mate its very wear,because when i installed froyo at a first time, my battery last about 2 days without problem, but when i started to install aps, the phone become very laggy...and i dont know i feel the phone different.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rubber84:
I had the same problem with oclf. Uninstall it and unroot your phone then get z4 root and z4 mod! Its by the same developers I think, it works slightly differently and doesnt batter your battery. You wont get the huge quadrant scores but it will be above the average galaxy s.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rubber84:
Also when you say 5-6 hours of moderate use- how long has the screen been on in that time?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drsantoshms:
One way to increase ur battery performance significantly is by deactivating data network mode. Long press power button in SGS froyo and deactivate Data transfer mode. Whenever you need to use internet do the reverse. With this technique i am getting battery for more than 2 days. Hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicacapo:
thank you all guys,i disabled the lagfix,i did the trick of charging several times with the mobile on and of and my battery time improved sightly,but with use the mobile is like a whale sucking water,i start game boy advance emulator with full charge and 1 hour later the phone is for example 60%,and surfing it altmost the same....i updated today the gallery app with sgstools,and lets see if that cures this sickness,because my battery doesnt last half a day.i know i make a hard use of it,but in the past it last a lot more,n
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicacapo:
look,i'm on hollidays in my girlfriends house,here in here house ,there are stupit laws abouts using the netbook,so i'm all the day doing things with the mobile phone.the screen could be turned on about 4 o 5 hours a day...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rubber84:
Tbh mate that sounds about right. I get about 5 hours screen time...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rubber84:
Its all about z4 mod/root
[Galaxy S I9000 General] diehard2222:
i get 1 hour out of every 20% with heavy use (music, browsing, wifi or 3g gaming) and screen on. i think that is the normal amount a battery should last you. speedmod kernel k9 and voodoo enabled btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Midnight_Rambler:
Same here: JPO, OCLF v. 2 + z4root => high battery drain, 1,5% per four on idle with no apps running. I will undo the lagfix in the evening and see what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oversim:
Try this .. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Midnight_Rambler:
it is not the issue, i have all data connections turned off, running on gsm only.

Hi there,

My T-Touch Tab (Huawei S7) cannot boot up after I replaced its default framework-res.apk with the stock one.

I guess the apk file was corrupted somehow while copying. Now the tablet is stuck at welcome screen.

I have tried to re-copy the framework-res.apk again but "su" did not work (error: [1] Segmentation fault su), so I could not remount /system.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

Hi there,

Today i decided to install android Froyo 2.2 to my galaxy s(dutch). I did this using samsung KIES, everything worked fine and i was told my phone would restart. It turned itself down but after the samsunglogo (the blinking one) the screen turned black while the bottom 2 buttens are lighted, it doesn't go passed this stage.. Also it vibrates ones in a while, sometimes 1 time, sometimes 3 short bursts of vibration. I still have the phone connected to my computer, what should i do? Jank battery out and pray for startup? Or are there any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help in advance..

You don't need to do anything for app2sd in CM because it is built in. but if you want app2ext flash darktremor patch.

You can easily change, modify partitions, using Ubuntu 10.1 Live:

Make example a bootable USB stick, and you can do anything, with your partitions :P

My Wildfire with Cyangenmod works great...with Fat32 + Ext2 partitions

I made it with gParted

Both are excellent Kernels. What I m personnaly doing is putting the voodoo first so that all partitions including /System get converted to Ext4 then put Hardcorer's K10i over it. this way I get the best out of both ;) (hardcore doesn't convert /system and you have to ignore the conversion request when you first start your phone following Hardcore's kernel flash)
