[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stangri:
Hey, I've searched both here and on CM forums and even tho Firerat was the only person who gave coherent advice to the people with similar problems I figured I'd ask.

I have a Google Ion as my backup and I've been playing with the 2.2 T-Mobile OTA on it, but since it required non-engineering SPL I've decided to bring it back to CM side. I've made the goldcard and flashed the 1.5 Magic ROM using goldcard. The 1.5 booted fine on it and I've verified S-OFF in the fastboot.

I then downloaded the 1.6 OTA/recovery file for Ion from developer.htc.com and flashed it using built-in recovery (didn't flash custom recovery via fastboot first which I regret now).

Now the phone is stuck in the splash -- I've tried booting it in either recovery or fastboot and it doesn't work -- it goes into splash and stays there.

I've tried both back and Vol Down together with power to get into fastboot -- neither worked.

Did I brick it? Is there still a way to get into fastboot? Any advice/help you guys can lend?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cloths55:
If you turn on your phone and connect the usb to your computer to you see a red box pop up at the top saying fastboot usb?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stangri:
Nope, the phone stays in the splash screen, usb connected or not. I can get to a blue led but that's pretty much it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cloths55:
well your phone is probably bricked then. If you cannot get to fastboot, recovery, or boot up then your phone is pretty much dead (it has happened to me recently too)

since your radio works (blue led) you can use a jtag adapter if you want and shock device back to life.

I am pretty sure that is your only option at this point
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stangri:
I thought as much, but was hoping there's an easier way to trick it to take spl and run it in a fastboot.

What did you do with your phone? Is there anyone on this forum who has the jtag cables/software to bring it back to life?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cloths55:
My phone is still bricked. my plan is to use a jtag adapter to save it, eventually.

Many people I am sure have the necessary hardware to get your phone in working order, and the software is free.

I have too low of a post count to post links but there are tutorials around the forums to debrick your phone with jtag adapter.

look in the dream development forum for the thread on how to debrick your phone. Also look in the general tab on the sapphire forum for the wiki page which has a link at the bottom of the wiki page to bebrick your phone.

I've read from another user that you can buy cheap jtag adapters off ebay.

It's obviously a harder process to debrick your phone than to root it but maybe its worth it to you, idk.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
By the time I got 3116 downloaded, several other people had made varying comments so I didn't really know what to expect.

Here are my observations:

1. Update was flawless and no instability afterward that can see.

2. I wouldn't say it seems "fast" -- but I definitely would call it smoother and more polished.

3. I neither like nor dislike the TnT launcher, but I do appreciate that they put the Android-like option in there. I'll use that more than the stock launcher.

4. They should have put flash in. From a public perspective, it was hugely necessary. And it it was an Adobe holdup, they need to get their PR flacks on line making sure people know they tried!

5. All the apps I have added since the update seem to have loaded and are working fine.

6. I'm still exploring, but I put an SD card in /sdcard2 with a couple of albums on it. Told the music app to start -- it said it was searching -- it found my music and played!!! That was nice. Now will have to test photos, videos, etc.

7. It just runs and that helps!

Summary: Given what's in and not in the update, I suspect this is an effort by the TapNTap people to get out from under the whole situation. It looks to my eye (and I have done a fair amount of programming) like when the furor over the interface started, someone started working real hard to make TapNTap work well. I do agree with somebody that while I am not happy with what came in the package, I believe it probably will be enough to satisfy casual, non-tech users if the VS marketing people can get the word out and generate some interest.

I'd give it a thumbs up with the proviso that somebody better bring some meat and potatoes before long to go with the appetizer!

[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I agree.

The stock Android-like launcher is nice. The speed and stability is much improved. We are spoiled with the speed-fix that all the aftermarket roms have in them. I have used TNT lite and Vegan since I got the tab new. I have installed this update and have been usingit for the afternoon. I think it is nice and this can be a mainstream tablet now. The only thing it needs is the flash, which will be forthcoming.

I was one of the people that was very down on the stock firmware. This device is now able to compete head to head with any other android tablet and can go head to head against the Ipad. Once flash is added, this is much better than the Ipad.
[G Tablet General] switt:
It seemed very usable. Pretty nice for people who want something that just works rather than learning how to use Android. The only instability I experienced was some incompatibility with my Exchange mail crashing the mail app every time.
[G Tablet General] 2insane:
upgrade

Is this the so called 12 19 update??
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
2insane,

Yes, apparently Roebeet caught it early and D/Led it and posted the link for others who wanted to try it.

There are quite a few posts explaining people's opinions about it.

Rev
[G Tablet General] filterking:
A vast improvement.

I only used the new update shortly after install today. I believe for most people purchasing the tablet the update will be enough to keep them from returning the product. It's not going to show the potential of the Tegra processor, but the unit is usable.

The one glaring issue I think is when changing orientation. The gpad is slow and unsure, both the iPad and Samsung tab are instant.

Even though it is a vast improvement it should be more. How is that a few developers on this site can come up with much better software with limited resources and access to key information than the company selling the product?

I had given up my tablet and found the update looking for the stock flash to return the unit. It was fun tweaking it, but I was using time that I really couldn't spare trying to get it work. Not sure I would have followed through with returning yet.

I did a complete wipe and reformat of the system and partitioned the sd card. Installed the update then installed VEGAn Beta 3 without wiping and all I can say fantastic.. Not sure what changed, but VEGAn runs even better now. I have been using my tab for about 6 hours now trying to get it to act up, so far no problems. I have not attempted the Adobe Flash install. Flash would be nice to have, but really is not all that important for my use.

Some of you like numbers, here are some Quadrant scores. Viewsonic Gtablet 2538. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 976. I can assure you that in daily use the speed difference is not as dramatic as the numbers suggest.

To those of you who are frustrated and thinking of returning the unit, you might give it a few more tries. At least give the update a try, it won't run at full potential, but the update appears to make it a very usable device. Even with just the Viewsonic update I have trouble believing that this is the same piece of junk I brought home 7 days ago.

I believe I have a keeper now thanks to the people on this site that share there work and knowledge, with a little credit due to Viewsonic.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
Everytime I flash a new rom I see a file update.zip on my sd card. What is that?? I usually delete it cause I am not sure what it is or if it's something I need to flash after I flash the rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Not trying to be offensive, but you should read up on what you're doing to your phone before you do it. An update.zip on the root of your sd is what stock recovery flashes when you select "reinstall packages" from stock recovery. If you have rom manager installed and have clicked on "flash clockwork recovery" then it is more than likely that particular update.zip is the package to load clockwork if you boot into stock recovery and reinstall packages.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
^ this.

Don't delete it, i did once and my clockwork got stuck saying FINDING UPDATE.ZIP and then i couldn't flash a rom or anything >.< unless if i odined which i HAD to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Not clockwork, I am talking stock recovery, blue text not the green clockwork text. That is where that update.zip file is applicable. If you think its a bad copy, you can always delete it, and then within rom manager do the "flash clockwork recovery" to get a new copy of it. Although its my understanding that the flash was not working over the weekend, was sending a bad file or none at all. I can't attach mine, the app won't allow it,I know one was posted here at xda over the weekend, a little searching and you'll find it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
OP,

do you remember when you rooted your phone? There are two methods (the one click method when connected to your PC, or putting the update.zip file on the root of your internal SD card). Both methods require your phone to reboot to get to the stock OEM recovery (blue text as Br1cK'd pointed out). Each method they requires you to "reinstall packages" I think the SGS recovery does not call it "reinstall packages" but "apply sdcard:update.zip." You can not choose a zip file to flash with the stock recovery, it only looks for "update.zip".

Knowing the above you can start to understand the importance of the update.zip files. There are two very important update.zip files. The first is the root update.zip, the second is the clockwork recovery update.zip. I leave the clockwork update.zip in the root of my internal SD card. I also have a folder on my external SD card called "updates-zip", with update-root.zip and update-cwr.zip. Of course if I need to use either I would have to first move them to the root of the internal SD card and rename the to update.zip
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonH54:
Concerning the Clockwork recovery,my ROM Manager lists my current Recovery as 2.5.1.2. When I look under All Clockwork Recoveries it lists 2.5.1.0,2.5.1.1 2.5.1.3 and 2.5.1.4 what are theses?

Is there a reboot widget that doesn't require you to be rooted to work? I can't believe something as simple as this isn't built-in to the Captivate. I'm really loving the phone, but I am starting to miss the nuts-and-bolts customizability of my WinMo Tilt 2.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] arabcamel:
I just recently rooted my phone after being a little worried about doing so. It's not so bad and you can always flash your phone back to stock (without root) if you need to return it or warranty service it. Rooting will allow you to do much more with the phone such as backuping the entire system and having a reboot application. Z4root is a one-click application that makes it VERY easy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Robi-K:
As far as I know you can reboot your phone by preasing and holding vol up+power for 5 seconds.

About rooting: I usually don't flash a firmware unless it can be rooted.

Ok try this. After deleting th livewallpaper.apk make sure you werent using a LWP. Then install using a file manger.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] peekeesh:
try this:

1. use root explorer and make a backup of existing livewallpapers.apk. (/system/app/)

2. replace the existing livewallpapers.apk with this new one.

3. still in root explorer, press and hold livewallpapers.apk and select permissions.

4. mark Read and Write for the first one and then Read for the rest.

5. Reboot and enjoy.

Don't bother with that wallpaper.

It uses over 50% cpu in system panel monitor, and it raises the power usage from 160 to 240 mA just having it on the screen.

Not to mention it will lag scrolling somewhat as well.

it's cool. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jkinnison90:
On SystemPanel its only used 1.2% of CPU usage over about 4 hours on my phone.

Works good for me and no above normal usage over other LWP's..

Here's a real simple way I installed the LiveWallpapers.apk for the Nexus S:

Download the LiveWallpapers.apk and move to your SDK TOOLS folder

Backup original LiveWallpapers.apk just in case, or for future reference.

Delete LiveWallpapers.apk from /system/app

CODESIEZ:

adb push LiveWallpapers.apk /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk

cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapers.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

adb reboot

BOOM! DONE!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kaanha:
It's no problem!

It's a pretty simple fix go to: Settings -> Applications and then check the option "Unknown Sources". That will allow you to install apk's from outside of the market.

===And now the Warning===

Please keep in mind that you are installing something that did not come from the android market, you could potentially get your phone infected by malware, spyware, viruses, etc. Be sure you pay close attention to the resources the software will be using before you install it. If it looks like it's using a resource it shouldn't be using then don't install it and if you need too ask someone here on XDA if they know anything about it.

Good luck and I hope that helps!

Hi folks.

I have a build of Forever for radio 2.15.00.11.19; it worked on my phone. So, for the adventurous amongst you who don't want to wait for the new unrevoked release (coming soon, I swear; we now all finally have a moment to breathe, so we're getting moving on this one), but are somehow stuck on the new radio, I have a new build for you -- get it at the usual place.

Quick question Joshua, Quite a while ago I Rooted my EVO with UnRevoked 3.21 and have S-Off and all is well. Back at that time should I have also flashed UnRevoked Forever, or does 3.21 also cover that?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
Same question here, I only ran 3.21 and it put me in S-OFF. I've even flashed a couple of RUU's in the past and re-rooted, and the phone never went back to S-ON.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
I had eng hboot with soff, but applied the new soff successfully to the radio after updating to the 2.15.00.11.19 radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
This works flawlessly

Just wanted to let everyone know how I achieved full root with the newest OTA.

1) download newest S-OFF Patch that works with new radio while still rooted on older SW version. Install S-OFF.zip through recovery.

2) Use 3.29 ruu to restore phone back to stock, s-off will still be on. Download OTA update directly to phone after you finish initial setup.

3) Install downloaded OTA immediately. Let it do its thing. Once you reboot, place clockwork recovery (Amon-RA probably works too but I haven't tried it yet) on the root of your sdcard and make sure it is named pc36img.zip.

4) power off phone, hold volume down and power... phone will turn on and ask if you want to apply update , press volume up for yes.

5) you now have root and nand unlock with all the newest radio versions and a custom recovery to flash zips as you wish. I installed a stock de-odexed version of the newest OTA already as I wait for devs to release custom ROMS based on 3.70...

Have fun!!

Everything I used was downloaded right from here.

If the phone says S-OFF, and it DOESN'T say "ENG" at the top, then you don't need to run Forever; you're already S-OFF. (It was included in all unrevoked releases since, I think, 3.2.)
