[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
I should be able to boot into recovery but it still goes to this install process that restarts indefinitely no matter how many ways I try to start it up. I tried Power+Home, Volume down+power, Home+back then power, but this installation screen comes up every time. When I plug it into the computer it's being charged, but it never recognizes it as being connected. So basically I can't flash or do a Nandroid backup (which I would usually do in this situation) because I can't access any of the tools to do it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
vol down and power doesn't get you to fastboot (NOT recovery) ?

did you read the second link? it says this:

Check if your phone is detected by ADB

Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)

Type in

Code:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter

adb devices === You should see your device listed

adb shell === you should see # in the next lineNow you are all set to run adb commands

Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd

CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
The device is showing up weird on the list, and none of the commands seem to be working. Here's what it looks like
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
Oops, not quite what I was trying to show there. I tried adb reboot recovery but after rebooting the phone still starts in this install process for Clockworkmod. I tried putting the update file on the SD card using adb but that didn't work either.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
download a different recovery like amon ra and try to install that thru adb, then reboot recovery

EDIT: if I read that post of your cmd box correctly it looks like you lost superuser, right? get the apk and push it thru adb, then get the recovery and then try to reboot into recovery.... report back.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
The installation of recovery files always needs me to boot into my current custom recovery, which I can't do. I have SU permissions, that post wasn't really what I wanted to show. I tried to reboot into recovery but the phone always reboots right back into the install that I'm stuck on.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
you really ought to read the threads I posted. these are not "recovery files" as you call them. It tells you how to do this with commands in fastboot, you do not need to boot into your recovery, it should work in fastboot, here is yet another link to a thread, I leave you to your reading, the answers are there, specifically how to to what you are trying to while in fastboot, not in recovery.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
Fastboot doesn't recognize the phone as plugged in, all the adb commands seem to work but when I try anything with fastboot it hangs at <waiting for devices>. I also checked the device list and it showed none.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Make sure Fastboot is working

Open up Command Prompt

type the following

Code:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools === Press Enter

fastboot devices === Press enter, your device should be listed

fastboot shell === You should see a # in the next line

type fastboot and press enter for general commands
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
Fastboot is definitely working, here's what it looks like (note how it doesn't detect any device)

But adb works fine with the phone:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explosivo98:
Oh sweet jesus I finally fixed it. Pushed the new recovery image to it and flashed it, then reboot recovery worked. Thanks for all the help!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Nice work! Now please post a detailed step by step of HOW you did it here, and then save this thread as a favorite so you can help the next person in a similar spot! Glad you finally got it.

[General Questions and Answers] pp99999:
Dear Masters!

I would like to ask for help. I've got a HP IPAQ 314-316 navigation system, it does not, it does not take up the charge, only one can enter into Engineering Mode. The computer does not recognize, so I can not even run the official ROM Update.

My question and my request would be that someone could not felrakni SD card ROM update for some solution to at least the USB connection meglegyen.

The Engineering Mode Nboot is possible to update, which should Nboot.bin

Engineering Mode is the option to update Eboot, which should Eboot.nb0

Perhaps if we had these two, you can identify the computer and I could put back the original state.

Thank you in advance for your help
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edward_g:
I wonder if eris was under promoted or under developed on purpose so that customers felt it necessary to move in to higher end devices. A marketing plan. It runs so sweet on froyo. Better than it ever did from the start. They had to know that it would. I thought for a long time that I bought the lesser phone much because of price. I looked forward and counted months so that I could upgrade. Now with a rooted eris running xda upgrades and other neat improvements there's nothing out there that is close to tempting me away. I'm sure a lot of people that had trouble with eris screwed it up themselves.

Vanilla Tazz, swype, latest market, great updated navigation, 3400 battery and more.

I even went to a verizon store and downloaded side by side to droid 2 and fascinate and eris was faster. I have no idea why but it did it time and time again.

Thanks XDA and all you eris fans.

Oh yea I'm keeping an eye on Kaos and his gingerbread progress and with ROM manager I'll be playing with that before long.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I seriously doubt it. The Eris is essentially the same hardware as the GSM Hero (and T-Mobile G2), which was released three months before the Eris, and is in fact only different from the G1 in the amount of internal RAM and storage. I don't think it's possible that HTC knew that an overclocked Eris could run Froyo acceptably (albeit without Flash, one of Froyo's selling points) at the time it was developed; Android 2.0 wasn't even out when the Hero first came out.

Comparing the speed of a rooted, overclocked Eris to a stock Fascinate and Droid 2 is a bit of an unfair comparison, IMHO.

I am sure that Verizon wanted a second phone to be available when the Droid was announced, priced lower, to help the ramp-up to Android sales. And, as far as I know, the Eris actually sold very well - not as well as the Droid, but it was still very successful.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebasuke:
I had the motor droid first, I guess the hype for to me.. soon found out that the keyboard sucked and I didn't like the bulky feel of the phone was still in my thirty days so I got the eris loved it since
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
they rebranded the hero for verizon, and just never bothered to do full testing on the trackball.

have you noticed that since the eris/nexus 1 htc hasnt put another trackball in any of their phones? yeah. htc sucks with trackballs, they found that out with the eris, and the nexus 1 was already too far into production to take it out before release some 7-8 months after the eris was released and they got word of the user complaints.

it was a half way there job, poor testing, and then HTC sense on top to slow everything down. just a corporate **** up to push a device out the door for a cheap buck (that and they were rushed on top of all that, verizon wanted to launch their droid line with or without HTC's little eris)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That question is sort of like asking "Is the Ford Fiesta purposely underdeveloped? The Ford Taurus is so much better!"

The Droid and the Eris were launched by Verizon on the same day, with different form factors and price points.

That's just modern marketeering - you segment your product offerings to appeal to people with different tastes or price preferences in order to maximize your return, rather than offering only a single product.

I have to believe that when Verizon had their first look at the Droid, the marketing folks probably said - "this thing is a brick, women are not going to buy it."

The other part of it has to do with Verizon's desire to control their supply chain: if they only had a single vendor for their first Android phone, they would have less leverage in price negotiations with Motorola. Remember that in the US market, the carriers are still trying to run the show.

So was it "purposely under developed"? Very doubtful. If you buy a Ford Fiesta and discover that it sucks, you probably are not going to say to yourself, "maybe I'll run out and buy a different Ford model" - you'll select a different maker first. Neither VZW nor HTC want people to think that their stuff stinks; brand perception is a huge deal in commodity products.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playpolo4life:
well said, bftb0. not so much underdeveloped, but rather sold as a lower cost alternative to appeal to those that didn't want to spend an extra $100+ for the moto droid.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edward_g:
I think the eris hardware is a great value. So I'm not expecting to turn a cheap device into something it's not capable of. That's the interesting question. As it stands it's extremely capable. With just a few software enhancements it meets or exceeds what I would expect out of so called higher end models. I guess that's the beauty of Android--even when the manufacturers put an end of life status on a unit that doesn't really end it at all thanks to folks at XDA and fellow enthusiasts that are satisfied and amazed at what they are able to do and wonder just how far this development can go. And it's actually more fun than opening something new out of the box.

Hear hear!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmxfelon420:
I think they stop coming out with software improvements as soon as the next hardware cycle comes out. The ones you do see after that (like when 2.0 came out for the eris) were probably still in the works when the phone was being sold. They want to use froyo (and gingerbread) as selling points on new phones, implying they wont be available on the older models. Of course, the eris has great froyo roms and even some preliminary gingerbread roms, so i guess the good people here at xda rendered that point moot. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnywells:
Ive had my new HTC desire from 3 UK for a couple days now and although i had read the battery life wasnt great on these things im shocked how bad it is!

For the first couple days the battery was not lasting the day from a full charge in the morning so i decided to try the new leedroid 2.3a on it.

Still no better. The phone does seem smoother with leedroids ROM but from a full charge this morning 8AM to now 2:15PM the battery is already down to 30!! I have not really been messing around with the phone alot, couple of txt and a phone call but thats it.

Any tips on what i can look into to see whats killing my battery so fast?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echohack:
Had same problem with sense roms untill i swapped to cyanogen mod. Running 6.1 with defrost kernel. Always have above 30% when i put it back on the charger, 15-20 hours. Used alot. Try a aosp rom. Guarantee better battery life.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
How much are you actually using the phone? I'd imagine you're on it quite a bit so of course battery will go down quicker

I also assume you didn't make a note of your original ROM version so you can go back to stock with an RUU if you decide you wanna send it back...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
battery sucks...get used to it. sorry.

I've had a desire since may and i can count on one hand how many days my phone has lasted till bed time from a full charge in the morning.

some tips for you

3g kills your battery, 2g and sync on will use less battery than 3g and sync off.

get some power widgets to controll your phone, ie 2g/3g, sync, wifi, brightness, gps and use them wisely.

a bright screen on an amoled desire will kill your battery...turn it down unless you cant see it.

+1 for cyanogenmod
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuke08:
That is not true in all cases. My battery lasts more on 3G compared to Edge,not sure why. I experience frequent overheating as well when on Edge. 3G+WIFI Hotspot tend to last more than 2G+Sync.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha232:
I've been using auraxtsense for a while now, with browsing the internet, texting, maybe 20 mins of phonecalls my battery would last around 36 hours on a full charge, however i've gotten into the habbit of charging phones when i go to bed anyway.

I've left it for 3 days before doing nothing on it other than getting the occasional text message on some days off from work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opticalc:
Is there something wierd about SGS/2.2 and dropbear? I used adb to get the binaries and keys loaded and set all the permissions for everything correctly, but when I run "dropbear" all I get is # with no hint as to whether it succeeded or failed. ps | grep dropbear indicates its not a running process.

I even tried with -F to prevent it from dropping to the background as I though I may get some debugging that way but still just got #

Is there a particular compiled binary that must be used on the i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jodue:
you need a version compiled for arm. if you can run it on you pc it's in the wrong version :D. i had it running on sgs 2.1 and i'm pretty sure it still works on 2.2. if you search for posts by me and dropbear on xda you should find some more info :)

[Nook Color General] bbtheory:
So I am not sure what just happened to my NC. It was rooted, market enabled, apps installed etc.

I (by accident) hit the B&N shop icon in my apps drawer. There was a brief message and then the nook factory reset itself. So I am back to square one, need to re-root and re-enable everything.

Is there a way to avoid this happening again? Are there others out there brave enough to try the shop app and see if it happens? I am not sure if it was just a fluke or if I should really watch out for the B&N shop, etc.

Any wisdom on the matter would be appreciated!!!
[Nook Color General] pezhore:
Shop works for me (Fully rooted, market, gmail, etc). Not sure why yours reset itself.
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
Same here, Shop has been working now for over a week rooted
[Nook Color General] bbtheory:
OK, so I rerooted and re enabled market, etc... shop works now, loaded with no problems.

Not sure what happened before, I had enabled market the first time using an earlier method, pehaps that had something to do with it?

[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
Given the number of rooted nooks that are likely to be out here, it would be unfortunate for B&N if NONE of them could actually buy books from them.;)
[Nook Color General] axe2:
I had this happen to me, but I was running from and external sdcard, so the reset failed. My theory was that I re-authorized the internal version and and external sdcard was still using the previous authorization.
[Nook Color General] thecalip:
Their book is way over priced. And they have tax at every states, while Amazon has no tax for most of the states. Even if they are able to match Amazon, the buyers still have to pay tax.

Another thing, their search engine sucks. Cannot find anything there.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
I rooted my NC within minutes of purchase and have not had this issue. It would be flat-out nefarious for them to be doing this intentionally so, I'm hoping this is just a fluke that some have run into.
[Nook Color General] long2know:
I just run the Kindle app, FBReader, Miren browser, Pulse Reader, and Google Reader for all my reading needs. I have ADW Launcher installed, so I don't bother with the Nooks built in apps.

Hopefully, that is enough to prevent me from having this problem. :)
[Nook Color General] zappaziz:
Exactly. When are B&N and Amazon going to realize that customers know that it doesnt cost them the same to sell an ebook that it does a paper book. There is no printing, storing, transporting, manual labor to put it on the shelf so how the hell can they justify charging the same price for an ebook as a paper one? Their magazines are priced well, why not the books? Im hoping that with the competition that the prices will drop. Sorry BS&N, I love the tablet, but Im not buying squat from you. as soon as a complete rom is available this puppy is getting wiped!
[Nook Color General] tokyomonster:
I've had this happen after screwing with the Nook. If I'm using it normally after it's been rooted, and not poking around, it's fine.

Specifically, I was able to recreate it by adding a shortcut via Desktop Visualizer that pointed to one of the accounts and sync manager intents(can't recall which one). Trying to launch that shortcut failed, but after doing so and trying to return to my B&N library, the nook said the account had an issue authorizing and was resetting.
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
it'll probably happen when ever the general consumer complains. as long as people are fine with overpaying for services, they'll continue inflating the prices. plus i think there's some kind of conflict where they don't want to hurt hard copy sales.
[Nook Color General] Bigjohn_S:
The costs to the publisher are reduced, but the AUTHOR does not get any of the extra margin... this is why a lot of authors are re-negotiating with publishers if they can (stephen King, for example) Just like any "new media" the price point will eventually come down.
[Nook Color General] Ben74:
this sudden reset has happened to myself and others on the forum. in my case, it was triggered by opening the BN library. however, after rerooting and reinstalling my apps, i haven't been able to replicate the problem.

i have one book that i'm reading from BN, but after that, i'll just stay away from the BN apps, and use the Kindle software instead. sorry BN, i hope you learn a lesson from this :)

Chalk up another one for a "spontaneous reset" ! Not sure what happened exactly, I tried to recharge it with a standard USB adapter and since I'd read it took longer I just let it sit...a few minutes later I noticed it had restarted and upon restart I was presented with the "Robot sign-up", not sure if it was from autonook or the script since I had run both a couple of days ago, but it's timing out...looks I'm good for a full reset, fortunately I did a Titanium backup ealier today.

Oh, I had a notification saying "updated to 1.0.0" ! Thanks B&N ;-)

I thought I'd seen a thread called "Prevent NC from calling home and updating itself" but can't see it right now.
[Nook Color General] webvan:
Dang, another spontaneous hard reset! This time I saw the whole process:

1. YouTube stops working, no video

2. A little later : authorization problem, your device needs to be reset!

3. Back to square one...

Either B&N are onto something or the market/gmail/youtube scripts are creating some problems. I'm going back to nooter to see if it's as rock solid as it was last week.
[Nook Color General] drwohl:
They have to add tax because they have a physical presence. Amazon exists only in the cloud (and Washington State, where it does add tax). It's not BN's fault.
