Noob to noob advice :)

New to android, and was stuck in a boot loop recently.

Yes, flashing a custom rom worked. First you need to unlock the phone and get root.

Then you need Android SDK installed on your PC, and adb drivers.

Then within the SDK/tools folder, is fastboot.exe

I did fastboot flashed a recovery.zip, and then using Volume down and Power on, with the touchpad pressed too, accessed Bootloader, then scrolled into recovery,

and flashed the Cyanogenmod.zip that was copied on to my microSD card (you might need to do this via an microsd reader on your pc at this point),

and boom.

custom rom, and boot loop over.

[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
Another scenario to consider:

I encountered an infinite boot loop once when my battery went bad. In this case the Nexus one won't power on when unplugged, but an infinite boot loop will occur when it is plugged in and powered on.

Hope that helps.
[Nexus One General] gejenn:
Thanks A lot!!!!

I was almost about to give up on this,ive been flashing windows mobile for quite some time now but Android is a totally new thing for me.It wasnt this hard for me on putting android on my HD2 lol.

You're welcome. Glad I could help :)

Hi,

I currently got a HTC HD2 SPL 2.08.HSPL and I was wondering if there is a way to unlock it, so I can use other carriers. I bought like 4 unlock codes and none of them worked... Is there any other method I can try to unlock it?

Thank you
[HD2 General] theunlock.ca:
from where you bought the code?
[HD2 General] Souyen:
Hey I got my phone from my relative in the US and it was locked with T-mobile as well. I can't post links since this is my 1st post but google "mobileincanada". It should be the 1st link on the list.

Its cost $20 which is the cheapest compared my local stores which charged me around $40-60 to unlock the service provider. Also I received my code within 20 minutes. If you want to be sure, you can email them your IMEI code and ask if they can unlock it. I know you probably skeptical at this point since you have already tried 4 codes from other site. People that have used this site before leave feedback, you can look for my name (Carter Nguyen) in the feedback.
[HD2 General] simon_66:
I bought the code from

freeyourhtc.com

cellunlocker.net

and 2 on ebay and none of them worked
[HD2 General] johnerz:
T Mobile or a local store that hooks it up tho there pc should be able to generate the code, but there is no cert here :(
[HD2 General] geereed:
I just got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net. It took just 5 minutes to get it. 20 bucks.
[HD2 General] huggs:
just call t-mobile. don't pay for that crap.

they emailed me my code, it took like an hour for the code to arrive.
[HD2 General] fost4real:
T-Mobile

i have been waiting for more than a week now. no news from T-mobile after calling them. You must be very luck to get the code in just an hr. hmmm. please can anyone recommend a good site?
[HD2 General] jothsha:
That is the problem with the network providers. They dont give the codes quickly. So the customers go in search of online providers for the codes. Even i was in the same situation when i wanted to unlock my mobile. I then unlocked my mobile at WickedUnlock.com within hours. You can trust this guy from whom i got the code. They provide genuine codes.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
Folks I'm new to the Z after my SGS blew up and I lost all faith in it.

With my SGS I was using ONLY the WCDMA 850 Band which was accessible via a dialer code (*#2263#) which doesn't work out of the box. I have tried *#*#4636#*#* but that doesn't get specific enough. I don't want to use Bell's WCDMA 1900 band.

So... is there a way to access such a menu? Is there a thread that I missed someplace with all the secret codes listed?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
Okay, either I asked a really stupid question or there is no answer...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I might have missed it but I don't recall seeing anything like that. I don't think that "INFO" menu (4636) that you mentioned really does what it implies it does, either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
I don't think there's any option to select individual bands. I remember seeing somewhere that you could set the bands by country... but that was as specific as it got.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] USDan:
I installed the Rogers Magic+ upgrade on my HTC Magic, then tried to use a much older RUU to restore my phone to original condition.

The downgrade failed (I don't recall what the error was unfortunately), but now I'm stuck with RUU recognizing my bootloader version as 3.54, and the perfected, SH-ON 0007 RUU.

Obviously I can't get into recovery, or access the Android OS.

Is there anything I can try? I've been working on this for a couple of weeks, and are starting to think it's a confirmed brick.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Just flash the same ruu once again(with the same version nr)... then you should be on stock os!

From there you can root -> flash custom recovery -> enjoy yourself :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] USDan:
When I try this I get "ERROR[132]: SIGNARURE ERROR" (spelling error as quoted). I've read about trying the RUU on XP if this happens, that still did the same
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Try to get into fastboot mode.

Then type this:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then try to run the RUU again...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] USDan:
It reboots back into RUU with the feedback "...OKAY", but the RUU still gives the same error message (ERROR[132]: SIGNARURE ERROR)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] korterry:
Nothing u can do,unless the hight version RUU.My magic was stucked like this.

At last I use JTAG to repair it.

I am trying to decide on a new phone. The carrier is not an issue, I've had a rooted mytouch, a rooted nexus one, stock evo4g, and currently now have an epic 4g. Multimedia and apps are very important to me, the iphone4 looks good, but my current phone my be better. Am thinking about a windows phone but don't know anything about them. Any suggestions?
[General Topics] seriouslyjeff:
If you are looking to mod/play with your phone do not choose a winmo7 phone.. Not quite yet. It simply is what it is and they are so new the apps are not there yet. As far as apps the iPhone in sheer quantity has the most but Android is where the devs are turning to more and more. There are also a lot of apps on android that are not on an iPhone. The new Nexus S is an amazing fast device as I have been playing around with mine and the SAMOLED with its curves and anti smear screen IMO out plays the iPhone4s smaller not quite as bright seeming screen. I work at att and see the thing every day and still feel Samsung has really got the best screen (apps). Windows has done well with this new operating system but is still very new, Apple will be Apple, blackberry is great for non-Gmail email and Android will let people play with what they wanna play with. Depends totally what you plan on doing beyond media and apps ;)

where did it all go wrong????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurpreet3579:
You shold install amon ra recovery.

It has much more options than clockwork.

It can even fix sd card errors.

You can find img file using search.

Then install it using unrevoked custom recovery option.

Then go for installing a new rom

Or you can partician sd card easily with amon ra
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Seems that you may have a PVT4 device. I agree with the above poster, look for a newer version of ClockworkMod that will work with AmonRa 2.0.1 or flash the AmonRa 2.0.1 image with unrEVOked recovery and try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legayo:
I have just the same problem as you have!

Only that I didn't try to wipe, I tried to preform a backup (nandroid backup if I'm not wrong).

Does any one know how to fix that problem without flashing a new recovery image?

And if not, should I falsh Amon RA's recovery using the unlocker's method about flashing custom recoveries?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Not sure how to fix it but yeah, try Amon-Ra's recovery instead as a lot less seems to go wrong with it. I have used it in the past and it had not caused me any issues, although, i tend to stick with ClockworkMod just because fortunately enough for me, it has not caused any problems and i prefer the frequent updates.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Check your hboot screen if your pvt1 - 3 try reflashing stock ruu, it could just be a badly flashed misc partition, i had a simlar problem once

[Nexus S General] nxt:

[Nexus S General] Slapinfunk:
it will take you a couple of days...

this is a problem with Android devices... they all have different button order...
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
I understand that after spending so much money on a phone (many of us probably got it at the unlocked, no contract price - I did) it is easy to complain about problems a phone may have. However, no phone is ever perfect; Nexus S is not an exception to the rule: It has its fair share of issues.

I just wanted to create this thread to remind people the real advantage of the Nexus S and probably one of the biggest reasons why people are getting it. Nexus S may have its problems - like any other phone - but before you decide to moan about how terrible of a phone this is, how you are disappointed, how Google/Samsung cut corners in hardware, etc. keep in mind why you (probably) got it in the first place: Vanilla Android and fast updates. With new versions of Android bring new goodies, getting fast updates often beats out hardware. The original Nexus is testament to this; almost a year old and it still runs with the latest and greatest.

Who's with me?
[Nexus S General] Cheeze[iT]:
arg!!!! Ay! Matte ay!!!!
[Nexus S General] androidsjonnie:
Too bad the nexus one is getting outdated fast, mainly because it has dual touch and not multi. Google maps 5.0 is a good example of the limitations. I hope this won't happen to the nexus/galaxy s after 1 year.
[Nexus S General] crazifyngers:
It will, but then i have a new phone to play with.
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
The key is

getting

outdated one year later. Any smartphone that can still run with the newer models a year later is doing something right.

Of course, it is worth mentioning the Nexus One was released when 1 Ghz processors were just getting started. Nexus S was released with a 1 Ghz right at the eve of dual-cores...
[Nexus S General] seriouslyjeff:
I am SO with you!! The Nexus one is a year old and I STILL use it as my main phone. With Googles backing the phone will always have updates first which means we will have all the cool things to show off and use as others wait for their carriers/manufactures to push an update which can take at LEAST 8 months or longer (cough cough Galaxy S) It's hardware isn't anything to be super duper about but still.. what other phone is going to hit these quadrant scores and be this snappy right out of the box all while having Googles full support? The only thing keeping me away from me using this as my primary line is the lack of any sort of tri-color trackpad\led... My N1 has spoiled me lol

[G Tablet General] mspkash1:
The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger on the gtablet is the viewing angle issue that everyone is complaining about. Honestly I dont care how the screen looks if you are looking at it in an angle because one will always look straight into it anyways.. Other than this, what else is the issue with the screen?

Sears will be running a 10% off on this tomorrow AM bringing the price down to $342 and I need to make up my mind to grab it for that price.

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I'seen the comments about th screen, and while I'm not an expert on LCDs, I've never understood the complaints.

The screen on mine is bright, at 80%, and I don't notice much problem even at angles. I keep wondering if some Gtabs have different LCDs!

Jim
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Probably the biggest issue I have is the solarizing effect that occurs when the screen is tipped back, while in landscape. This is something that is noticeable if you have the tablet flat on a desk and you are trying to view the screen that way. You can work around it by flipping the screen, but that doesn't work with all applications.

I don't think portrait mode is so bad, as I usually look at that straight on (it might be slightly high in contrast but you can turn it slightly to fix that).
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
IMO, viewing angle is not an issue but .... a privacy feature! :)
[G Tablet General] xenx:
Definitely not a deal breaker for me. There are times where I wish I could get a wider angle, such as flat on a desk. However, it works fine for the majority of uses.
[G Tablet General] andygee:
Would be nice if they would run it at $349 again and the 10%. Let me know if they will give you the 10% on it as I will go get another.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Go check a Staples and see if they still have a demo unit out(they're apparently pulling it but some store might still have a demo unit out -- Sears just has a cheezy mockup...), or maybe an Office Depot...

The viewing angle really isn't so bad when you're using as I've found all the time that I'm holding or have it propped on my lap I have an almost dead view so the viewing angle limitation is not apparent.

As others have mentioned there have been a few times when I'd've liked a better viewing angle, such as when I have laying on the desktop while transferring files to it or having it do things and want a quick check of the screen status w/o have to crane over it...

My biggest remaining complaint is 10" form factor and weight, but mostly the 10" which makes it unwieldly which is why I'll eventually be adding a 7" to complement it, likely a Nook Color(NC) ATM although I'm resisting(strongly) running out and buying one any second now... (made it through Thursday & Friday w/o buying one... keep telling myself more tablets are on the way and to wait a bit although B&N seem to be the best at support so far, and given that they're still supporting the eInk Nook(Nook B&W? NBW?)...)

OTOH the 10" & weight allowed them to pack in a pretty decent battery, and I can manage a few days between charges which I'm sure no 7" will be able to manage, and especially not the NC... going to have to charge every night, and watch screen brightness & WiFi usage...

[EDIT]

Since I added in the Sears line above, it's funny I went to Sears to buy one of those crappy cases(VS $6 one), and the sales guy was laughing about how they have almost nothing in stock... He mentioned that because I asked if they had any other cases than that one, and he said that's it.. going on to mention of the two netbooks on display only the ASUS was in stock, they had 1 HDMI cable, 2 VGA cables(not sure what he meant by this one), a couple of ipods... pretty sad... I can't help but wonder if all Sears stores are like that or just that one... if they're all like that Sears is in trouble...

The Sylvania tablet display had disappeared too, since I was last there in mid-November... still had the white & black PDNs on display, along with a lone Sony eInk reader...
