recovery.img

Possibly a terribly dumb question, but I have been reading about this subject for 2 days and am very frustrated, this thread is the closest I've come:

IS that recovery.img file to flash phone dependant????

OR is it a standard recovery file that all the android systems use. If so, I can get CW off FINALLY. Otherwise, I guess I would need this Recovery img file from my mfg.???

Thanks so much
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
any DHD recovery img will work
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upknotch:
I've done the steps as you gave, but the terminal emulator said 'flash_image not found'....

theres something wrong with my phone? thanks
[General Questions and Answers] beestes1s:
So, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes too this stuff.

Basically all I want to do is be able to sync my google contacts to my phone.

I'm running CyanogenMod on a HTC Hero.

I'm at the Server Settings screen where it asks for:

Domain/Username:

My Username Here

Password:

*******

Server:

gmail.com

EDIT:

Sorry, I figured it out.

That's how I have it set up and when I attempt to go to the next screen it says "Setup could not finish: Unable to open connection to the server."
[HD7 General] Megacamz:
Hi there, Set up my HD7 and everything seemed to be going fine.

Until I started getting texts at least 30 minutes late, sometimes much much longer.

The text would report it was sent at say 14:30 but I wouldn't get it until 15:00 or later.

what's going on here?
[HD7 General] z33dev33l:
I had the same issue, dont know why. I just cut off 3g and cut it back on and texts started working fine.... not a surefire fix but it did it for me

I tried to change system fonts, I replaced files in /system/fonts using adb and rebooted phone. Now it hangs on boot screen now, I have only fastboot and recovery access. How I can fix my phone?

I tried to run RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe but I get USB-connection error.

I thought about flashing from SDcard, but I don't know how to do it.

Can you help me?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
well this seams stupid but

few weeks ago i asked if i should wait to gingerbread to come out or buy galaxy S for now as Nexus s is here ,logically i should go for the nexus but for some unknown reason i feel to like the galaxy more than the nexus :confused:

so practically speaking as I'm ready to go buy 1 which 1 i should go for?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMaverick:
Ermm practically i'd say go for the Nexus S, because it's a pure Google phone, you will get any updates straight away, once they are released instead of waiting for carriers to do their testing.

Check out the review on Engadget.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
From what I hear they will stop making Galaxy S after Dec anyways. Also depends if you want to mess around to get stable device. The benefits is that the SGS has external mem card but crappy samsung software and rfs. While the Nexus S is a pure google dev phone which means you get everything first on it but since its almost same as SGS i expect xda to port over anything a lot easier. Myself I'd stick with the SGS as the nexus S isn't anything special. What you should be comparing is the un-announced Galaxy S 2 which I have a feeling will launch feb (due to new amoled factory going online). Then again the LG Star would have landed by then which has tegra 2 (dual core).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Is this a serious question?

It can't be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdcoast:
really, either not serious or the OP doesn't know what design faults the SGS has. Rom can fix a lot of it but nothing can fix the internal SD design. There's a reason why the Nexus S has a redesigned internal SD.

Personally I'd stay far away from both but if you must then the Nexus is the only choice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
At best that's an assumption, at worst, it's totally made up.

What's wrong with the internal SD design? If the Nexus S has a redesigned internal SD, it's more likely to be due to advances in technology which improve the performance and experience of the chips (maybe make them smaller too). Or do you think that the 400mhz processors were replaced simply because they were buggy? Furthermore, if there were serious flaws, Samsung could issue new revisions of the chips.

I severely doubt you have any proof to back up this claim with, other than a guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
well to make it more clear i'll tell you my worries about the nexus s

1-I don't like the pure android UI that the nexus s will have seems to like the touch wiz UI galaxy s have (strange huh?)

2-even both devices have 5 mp camera and the nexus s have flash (which galaxy s doesn't have) but from what i read the video recording quality in the nexus is lower and it does not have HD recording and they say it quite suck

for all other aspects they are almost identical and i think none of them is top over the other

P.S people keep saying that this phone will be completely outdated in like 3 months or so when dual core processors come out so is it better to wait again or just give it a shoot and buy one of these?

thanks

no swype on Nexus S
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azumihk:
so u be waiting for dual core and waiting for tripe and quadcore, so my guess is u will never buy a phone, first the galaxy s isnt that bad since there are more then 7million sold worldwide and samsung is now the nr1 android phone and in the usa alone with around 30%. second if use the lagfix the phone runs like a monster, even without it runs good.third we have the best gpu and same cpu as iphone 4 so shouldnt be so bad after all, all games running smooth.he should just buy a nexus if he wants more space then 16gb and wants to use a memcard then goto buy a galaxy s, both phones use the same chipset except the nand memory from nexus.

Hi,

I have disassembled my Folio 100.

Here are the pictures of the internal:

http://www.makhutov.org/downloads/folio100/pix
[Folio 100 General] statsminister:
But, why?! :)

Is there a simcard slot inside? Im wondering if our Folio is hardware, or software limited to use a simcard.

Regards
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
There is just a place on the PCB for a sim-card slot and also a mini-pcie connector for a mini-pcie datacard, but the parts are not soldered to it.

I don't know if it is possible just to solder the connectors to make it work...
[Folio 100 General] Draken Korin:

Best, DK
[Folio 100 General] Nemo0815:
Interessting, do you think it would be possible to mount the LCD upside down? Because i think viewing angles would be better then (like holding the Folio upside down)?
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
Where's the RAM memory slot?
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
The RAM is soldered directly on the PCB next to the CPU. You can see it for example on picture BILD2363.JPG. On the other side of the PCB (Picture BILD2387.JPG) is space to solder additional RAM chips.
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
I don't know if the LCD cables are long enough. But even if so you must then adjust the software. Otherwise the picture will also always be upside down. The better way would be to replace the LCD completely with a different one.
[Folio 100 General] fenixxx:
it´s posible to change the camera??
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
The one think i will change is the LCD and possible add some ram! I don't think it will work though.

Regards,

[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
I don't think that adding RAM is possible. There might be not all parts soldered to be able to solder additional RAM. Even if so soldering so small pins is really hard.....
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
This should be possible. It looks like it is a standard USB UVC webcam. But you will also have to adjust the software in order to get the new webcam working.
[Folio 100 General] Nemo0815:
Do you have some images of the connector of the LCD controller? Also, the Touch panel and LCD should be separated, right? (Can't see that on your pictures)
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
I have not done a dedicated photo of the connector but you can see it on BILD2355. The brown "box" is the touch screen controller and the cable below is for the LCD. It looks like a LVDS interface.
[Folio 100 General] Doumaster:
I think it's a great idea to dismount the device. I'd actually dismount the back cover to see the battery and the sim card slot. :D

[Folio 100 General] Mark Majoor:
Hi DerArtem

Is you device still working after you opened it and made all these pictures?

I did them same so my Folio 100 to see what's inside, but after assembling it again, the display didsn't work anymore. The device still boots up, I can use it on an external TV (via HDMI) and also the touch screen still works, it just doesn't display anything anymore. Any idea what this could be (and if I could get it repaired somewhere)?

regards,

Mark (NL)
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
Sure you connect everythink in place? I don't see how it could be broken if you just open the plastic case and remove same screws.
[Folio 100 General] Mark Majoor:
I am afraid that one of the cables that connecto the display with the mainboard was jammed and maybe damaged. It could also be the FFC-cable which has been under some stress (not the cable itself, but the side that entered the connector).

The screen is being connected to the mainboard by 3 cables. A round cable with a board-to-board connector (I'm afraid one of the wires of this one has been damaged), a small FPC connector (flexible PCB) connected with FPC-connector (this one is ok) and a FFC(foil) cable, where I saw that the copper on the edge was damaged. I cut of 1mm of the cable to let the connector grip a little further on the cable, but this didn't help.

So... either the electronics on the display is damaged, but I think it probably is one of the cables connecting the display with the PCB.

Just hope I can get it to work again...
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
Try to re-fit the cables, if it doesn't work pull the cables one by one and test it against a multimeter. Be carefull not to damage it even further.

Allways connect yourselt to the ground (touch a piece o metal will do the trick ) to avoid static discharges on components.

You can try to send it back to Toshiba, but I am not sure it they will aceppted under guaranty.

If you don't have spares it could be real hard to do troubleshooting. Toshiba (and other manufactures too) will replace the entire parts suspected to be faulty and will charge for it, so if you could do it on your own you will save some bucks.

Good luck!

When I seperated the actual display from the touch-screen, I found another (micro-coax) connector, which was not fully 'mated' anymore... When I pushed this one back in position, everything worked fine again...

Every one is talking about an SSD of 16GB inside, is this a real HDD, or NAND Flash soldered?

It could be fine to put a larger SSD inside?
[Folio 100 General] mizreh:
SSD in FOLIO

I looked at the photos.

I could see a SANDISK Flash on a kind of module. It was stamped as made by PEGATRON. I checked on the web and they are ODM (Design House + Manufacturing), and sdeeing the module itself, I don"t think we could increase the storage capacity.

Connector seems very standard, but definitely not a SATA one...
[Folio 100 General] olipheus:
It sure would be awesome if a nice screen turns out to fit the Folio. Tbh, it's not great, eventho I don't mind it that much anymore, I'd still want a better one.
[Folio 100 General] tshoulihane:
My guess is that pegatron built this tablet, not just the ssd board inside. Probably they make a standard design and customise it for anyone who wants to re-brand it.
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
Yes, the board is form pegatron.
[Folio 100 General] Trumpfz:
It seems that the unresponsive Touchscreen on some Folios is mainly because the touchscreen doesn't fit in the plastic frame perfectly.

When the screen is pushed back a little bit the Touchscreen is perfectly responsive afterwards for a period of time until the screen is being pushed out again.

I wonder if this is because of a loose screw, or maybe because a screw is too long or something so the screw pushes the screen out of the frame.

Anyone of the guys who disassembled their Folio can remember if this problem can maybe fixed by owners so they don't have to send back their Folio to Toshiba for a maybe 5 minute self-repair ?

Perhaps there are photos that show how the screen is fixed inside the frame ?

I'm a little bit afraid to open the case by myself without knowing what I can damage inside and loosing warranty if this cannot be repaired.
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
@DerArtem: Did you note down the part number of the lcd panel? I would like to look around for a nice replacement. Maybe this could fit in? Seems to have good viewing angles and a better resolution (I know this has to be accounted for in the software).
[Folio 100 General] oddbubble:
@DerArtem do you recon there is enough space in there to fit a striped down mifi unit in there, only had mine a few days but i dont want to take it apart only to find i cant fit it in
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
sorry, what do you mean?
[Folio 100 General] oddbubble:
i saw a mod when the first ipad came out were some one had fitted a verizon(sorry if i spelt it wrong) mifi potable hot spot in side it but it took a fair amount of modding to the houseing, but now mifis have got alot smaller and if i took one apart to the bare minimum i was thinking if it might squeeze in someware, getting power to it would be the easy part(sort of).

ive done various mods before but nothing with such confined space

i will probably still take mine apart for a look, im just trying to think of a way to bring 3g to it without having to keep plugging in a usb modem
[Folio 100 General] DerArtem:
Hi,

I don't know what mifi is ...

If you remove the cover from a 3G modem then it might fit in. You could - in theory - also insert a usb hub and connect it instead of the camera. And then connect the camera and the UMTS modem to to the hub...
[Folio 100 General] oddbubble:
mifi is like a portable 3g wifi hotspot there about the size of a nokia 3310.

you have just given me an idea, think im going to have to take the plunge and take mine apart to see what space i have to to play with.

looking at your pics it looks like a 3g modem would fit in(with some help from a dremel), it would be a tight but possable

edit: it just hit me, it might be possable to solder an internal port to the usb host that way it should defantly work and would save haveing to use a usb hub
[Folio 100 General] giuaig:

have a look on the capsensors board - disabling the buttons by cutting some tracks ?

After trying CM 7, CM9 and CM10 I found I got issues with wifi with CM 9 and CM 10. I decided to stay on CM 7.

I disassembled my folio 100 to disconnect the sensitive buttons because my tab is affected by the crazy buttons since day one.

However the power LED is also disabled and I need it to see the tab enter in sleep mode : it needs several seconds to the led to go from white to orange. If I don't wait the LED to go orange before pressing the power button I got a black screen, and I must press the power button again to re enter into sleep mode, before trying again.

I also tried to edit a file to disable the capsensors when the tab boots up, but after a sleep and wake up cycle, these buttons are enabled again. This not a suitable way to disable these buttons.

I join 2 shots of the capsensors board. I located 4 tracks connected to the surfaces used as capacitive sensors (I am right ?).

Did someone tried tu cut these 4 tracks to disable only the buttons ? Or is there a better way to get rid of the crazy buttons ?
[Folio 100 General] dethegeek:

has anyone figured out how to open ebooks in it?
[Nook Color General] Hypntick:
You need your ebooks (pdf) to be on your SD card I believe on the top level directory. I usually just find mine in Astro and it'll ask if you want to use Adobe to open them then it'll save them as documents you've opened.
[Nook Color General] vmarcano718:
Thanks, I just need to find a current version of ASTRO.
[Nook Color General] vmarcano718:
Aight, i have adobe reader 10. it does everything i need but can't find the reflow option (make fonts bigger). I dont want to have to downgrade to 9. too slow and choppy. Any help?
[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
So far, the best pdf reader I have found is ezPDF. I use it on my Archos tablet. Has anyone tried this on the NC?.
[Nook Color General] vmarcano718:
Works w/ bugs. Getting Special Characters on screen, making the book un readable at times.
[Nook Color General] sin7:
ezPDF, Adobe, RepliGo.

Since I bought it as a reader, first thing I did was check a bunch of pdf reading apps. From experience RepliGo works, Adobe works, and ezPDF works. The best of the three is ezPDF, but you need an SD card for the cache. The next best is Adobe.

I don't think any of them have an open feature that allows you to browse for the file you want to open, so they all require a file manager. Adobe and ezPDF both have a recent feature that remembers what pdfs you have opened recently, so that kinda helps.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Could anyone comment on the native PDF app? Does it work in landscape mode? And how well do panning and zooming work? I know in the original nook that zooming didn't really work, but it looks like reviews of the NC say that PDF handling is much better.

I've got a whole of math class notes as PDFs, and trying to reflow on those would be a pretty epic failure.

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color General] vmarcano718:
What do you mean i need an sd card for cache? Will that fix the problems with the special characters? if so, can i just sotore the pdf on the card and u can view it normally, without those secial characters coming up?
[Nook Color General] sin7:
Perhaps, I am wrong, but I could not get ezPDF to work without an SD card. ezPDF creates a folder on the SD card where it keeps information on the opened pdfs, configurations and settings. It also has a temp folder which I just assumed to be for memory purposes.

I have tried many pdfs and they look no different than on a computer, save for the occasional LN, which stands for a link. Those special characters don't really interfere with anything since they reside at the bottom.

The native PDF is QuickOffice. There a few things that bother me about it. One, there are certain formats that it does not like for pdfs and will just display a giant x. Two, it does not save the page where you left off. Three, to switch the page, you must swipe down to up as opposed to right to left or tapping the right side. Four, it does not have an indicator to display whether the page is loading or completely loaded. I sometimes find myself waiting on blank pages to do something. Or used to, since I use ezPDF which has an indicator and fixes all the mentioned problems.

To answer your questions about the native app: It works in landscape. You can fit the pdf to width or zoom in and out by using the pinch gesture or tapping the (- +) that shows up on screen. The pdf handling is much much better. The native app does not give you many options, so text reflow is out of the question, which I presume is not a bad thing in your case.

[Nook Color General] Nooter:
+1 for ezPDF with an SDcard.

Night mode with reflow is great, but I have problems tapping the bookmark button successfully.
[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
Maybe my version of ezPDF is different than yours. I am running it on an Archos 101, not an NC. I am here because I am looking for a smaller tablet and deciding between the Archos 70 and the NC.

My ezPDF has a tab across the top that allows me to select either "recently viewed PDFs" or "all PDFs". The "all PDFs" tab lists directories and can expand the directories individually to select PDF files.

In my experience, ezPDF is way better than Adobe's reader for Android. Adobe's works pretty well, but is pretty basic. There are many, many features in ezPDF that are not in Adobe's.

OTOH, from what I have read in this and the B&N forums, the built-in QuickOffice PDF reader is less than basic. It has no reflow, for example, which I think is required for this type of device. It also seems to not support some common image types or compressions, or at-least folks are reporting pages with red x's across them. The feature set has been reduced from what QuickOffice offers in the actual product.
