[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummer2780:
Hey my evo doesnt want to update it!!?? why??? it reboots.. then i get the loading thing that is starting to do it. but then i get the TRIANGLE WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK.. with the little Android bOY.. LOL.. Could it be because its rooted? :/

HOPE ITS NOT BECAUSE OF THAT!! :/ HELP PLEASE
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
You don't need to install the latest 3.70 release...it is just a maintenance upgrade and has no improved functionality ...I hope you made a nandroid bc you can restore that to get back to your previous state. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummer2780:
Im new to all this man.. i dont really know anything.. like whats nandroid?? sorry for a stupid question.. but it says is has the Swype typing thing..

One more question.. what happens if i reset the Whole phone? like with the option it has to reset it to its FACTORY DATA RESET.. WILL IT WORK? OR WILL IT JUST NOT BOOT ANYMORE? OR WILL I STILL BE ROOTED? TH \ANKS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
never accept a sprint upgrade with a rooted phone, it will mess your phone up...since you dont know what a nandroid is, im assuming you never made one..you are going to have to restore the phone back to original out of the box and a factory data reset is not the way to do it...

try this ...download the 3.30 release from this site and put in root of sd card http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic

EDIT...in order for your phone to see this ..boot into bootloader..when phone is off, hold the volume button down and then hold the power button...the phone will see it and flash and update it...you will be back to stock and not rooted...you will have to re root the phone and then create a nandroid...

read this for more info on nandroid backup http://www.simplemobilereview.com/android-rooted-what-is-nandroid-backup/

to recap..never accept a sprint ota upgrade with a rooted phone, you will mess your phone up (as you already know) and once rooted, always create a nandroid...if you ever mess something up, you can restore that nandroid and restore your phone to working condition

also..once you are rooted and you want to update to the latest sprint over the air updates, search this forums for rooted stock RUU and you can then flash the lastest rom from sprint which is rooted...instead of trying to accept the OTA like you did

good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummer2780:
oK.. I WILL DO THAT WHEN I HAVE TIME.. LUCKLY MY PHONE DIDNT MESS UP TRYING IT.. LOL..

oK so installing the ROOTED STOCK RUU.. it will already be rooted, and i can still install sprints updates and upgrades with no problem correct?

THANKS FOR THAT BUD! SOUNDS EASY TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE THANKS!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
Once you restore to factory non rooted and then re root...you have install the rooted ruu to get the latest sprint upgrades ...you don't accept any ota updates ever...just flash the most current rooted ruu and you will have the latest sprint updates
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummer2780:
Oooh ok ok.. i think i get it.. THANKS! I APPRECIATED!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbz:
Self confessed complete Android/Evo newbie here... I didn't even know how to access the settings on the phone until about 30 minutes ago. I've been working with iPhones since day one and have jailbroken many releases, so I get the general idea. It's actually my wife's "work" Android, and a co-worker of hers rooted the phone at some point. She tried to install the auto-download 3.70.651.1, it failed, and she gave it to me. Pulling the battery and resetting seemed to get things back to working, but now I'm taking over management of this phone and getting things right.

Here is where the phone is:

Nag screens about updated software seen. Update now selected. Update seemed to fail with a triangle/exclamation point, phone locked.

Pulling battery gets a normal reboot. Still get nag screen about "do you want to update"

Settings/aboutphone/software info shows "Software number 3.29.651.5" after failed update

Here's what I've done so far:

On software update screen, chose to "delete update". Rebooted. No more nag.

Turned off "scheduled check" for system software updates in Settings menu.

Figured out how to boot into the recovery menu. Looks like "Clockwork backup" was already installed. (ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1)

Created a nandroid backup using clockwork.

Rebooted phone

Mounted the SD card to my Mac, backed up the SD card including hidden files.

Verified creation of clockworkmod nandroid.md5 file

A few questions:

Once you restore to factory non rooted and then re root...you have install the rooted ruu to get the latest sprint upgrades Is this really necessary? Can I not just find a latest/greatest "rooted ruu" and overlay it on top of my current configuration?

I see some threads with titles like "[ROM] joeykrim-SDX-original-5.1 Odex *Stock Rooted 3.70.651.1* Dec 15th 2010". Is this an example of a "rooted ruu"?

This thread says I need to install "unrevoked 3.2.1" and "unrevoked forever". I'm guessing these are different tools than whatever was originally used to root my phone. Any chance installing them will conflict?

If I go back to a stock 3.3 ruu, what happens to all the applications and info already on the phone? Does it just overlay the software, or wipe everything clean?

TIA for helping an Android/Evo newbie out!

I have just put android on my hd2 & want to add new wallpapers & ring tons.

I put ring tones in the media folder as you would a normal android - but I cannot see them astro on the hd2 & cannot apply them in settings.

I made a folder for wallpapers but same goes for them.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Did you restart the phone? Anyway, try Zedge. It's VERY good!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] @home:
Sorry I don't get you - I have wallpapers on my phone - Why do I need to go to zedge?

No I didn't restart my phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
you forgot the most important quastion: HOW did you put it on your hd2?

without any info none can help you...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] @home:
I installed a cooked rom for the windows mobile part.

Then copied an android rom in to the android folder on my SD card & ran it as per the instructions on the net.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
I am not sure why you dont tell HOW you put the files on your sd card :( is it a secret? ;) btw. no need for winmo custom roms, last official (3.14) is fine.

Did you use a cardreader? Or Winmo? or Android? I mean, if you used Android in usb-storage mode to put the ringtones on sd card, there might be a problem with mounting, unmounting the sdcard. Usually this gets fixed by repluging the usb cable choosing the "only charge" option (if asked of course) or just by rebooting. If you still cant see your wall and ringtones, you probably messed something up ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] @home:
I used a cardreader - I put them in a wall paper folder inside the android folder, no joy, so I put the on the sd card ouside the android folder no joy.

Can you tell me, where, how & what to do?

I did try with the phone attached to pc using android & that was no good either.

Thanks for your patience.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronald_delgeano:
try this one

Create folder named "Ringtones" on your storage card for ringtone

Create folder named "Notifications" on your storage card for notification sound

and maybe it works too if you create folder named "wallpapers" ( i haven't tried this one :D )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I was suggesting Zedge, the application (available on the market), as it is very useful for wallpapers and ringtones/notifications, and you can set them directly from the app.

There is a known issue when copying files to the phone, with ported Android builds. I wasn't just asking as a matter of fact whether you had restarted your phone. Try it and see if it fixes your problem.

[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
I'm loving my rooted Nook color, but was wondering if there's a way to get emulators, like Nesoid and Snesoid, to work on it? That would be sweet to say the least, and may even make on screen controls somewhat manageable for me.

I searched the forum but didn't see any threads about it.
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
just download them from market and put roms either on sd or interal media. easy as pie. to fix full screen install spare parts from market and disable compatibility mode. snes plays perfect. everything else should as well
[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
Thanks. I tried putting them on my sd card, but I can't find them from the NC. I'll fiddle a bit though. I must be placing the roms in the wrong folder.

Edit: Still can't find the files on my sd card from within the NC. I have two folders, labeled SNES and NES, and I can't find either one. I tried placing them in the "My Files" folder, and nothing. Then tried putting them in the root of the sd card, and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] plariers:
go all the way backwards in folders.

then

/sdcard/FOLDER or whereever you put it

you can check if your stuff is there easiest with root explorer

i have four emus running perfectly
[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
Got it to work. Thanks
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
What emulators are working for yall?

I have FPse working with Bluetooth but not at full speed. Snesiod and Nesiod both work at full speed.
[Nook Color General] jzh797s:
Has anyone successfully gotten the Wiimote to work w/ an emulator? I am currently trying to get it working with Nesoid, but no go. I can see that the keys are correctly polling on WiimoteControl, but once I set up Nesoid to accept bluetooth it will not actually recognize the keys under key mapping.
[Nook Color General] jzh797s:
Got it, I didnt enable the correct keyboard (ie button 2) from within WiimoteControl.
[Nook Color General] MNMichael:
Emulators

If you have SNESoid and NESoid, be sure to get ROM Gripper as well. You can go into ROM gripper from the emulators, and you can launch games from ROM gripper. ROM gripper will place the game ROMs in the correct folder.

Don't mind these guys. I like ur threads man. What's the xda blue app? I downloded it but couldn't install it unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] PMGRANDS:
1st Of All Thank You For All Your Appreciation Man!!

2nd Of All... It Didn't Install? That Sux!! I'll Try My Best To Hopefully Get It Installed For You!!

Do You Have...

Root Explorer? If So, Try To Change The Permissions On The

Blue XDA App... If Your Unsure As To What To Change Them To, Go To A App That You Have Successfully Installed & Just Click It!

You Should Then See Options To Install, View, & Whatever Else??

From There Click View, Then Permissions, Then Try To Remember All The Boxes Checked, & Try To Do The Same Check/Uncheck Boxes Until Every Box Is The Same As The Successfully Installed Apps!!

Then Try To Install.... It Still Might Say Unsuccessful, If It Does, Try The Rom Manager Selection To Fix Permissions!!

Next Try Rebooting & See If It Installed Successfully In Your App Drawer!!

Hopefully This Helps...Good-Luck!!!

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Anyone know how to configure a windows cmd prompt window to function properly with curses in busybox, when connected via the 'adb shell' command?

It seems to mostly work, with one annoying exception: Every command line is repeated (echoed) when I hit return, before it runs. This makes vi unusable, which is extremely crippling.

Also, related: Anyone know the magic config steps to get ConnectBot to work with command history in busybox? Ironically, this all works perfectly with the U/D/L/R kbd arrow keys in a WinXP cmd window, but from ConnectBot it sends the wrong escape sequences, and just echoes some junk.

So, when I want vi, I have to do it in ConnectBot (slow typing!). When I want to test stuff, where command history comes in very handy, I have to do it on the PC (which is okay, if I'm near it!).

[G Tablet General] bmasephol:
I'm no electronics expert but I dabble. I'd be interested in internal GPS and a memory boost. I'm pretty confident in my soldering skills and would try something if directed by someone smarter than me.
[G Tablet General] ihaveathumb:
This is something I am very interested in. Any new info on this?
[G Tablet General] mystkrh:
I sadly no longer own a G tablet, wife thought it was to heavy to read books, and hated the screen. I cant argue with her on either of those points, so we returned it. However I got the ok to buy a referb on if i can find one, but when I did at my local store i showed them the paper and they told me they dont sell that stuff there and send me away. I talked to 3 different people too basically all told me to go f off. I even tried another time with the 7" they sell same results. I dont know why it gets listed on the website if they wont sell it.

Not to get sidetracked, but i even did by the proper bga fittings to solder the ram chips too lol..

So no its probably not going to go any farther from my stand point, if anyone wants my help I still read the forums everyday.

I'm just gonna wait and see what comes out in the future that XDA gets behind, because I'de never buy anything that didnt have an active community here.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
IF you were looking for a reader fo rher mainly, you should've really gone with the Nook Color... eInk devices are good too IF you don't really need good PDF support and/or need it to read more complexly formatted documents, e.g. technical manual, mathematics texts, etc. i.e. eInk is best suited for ficiton and other simply formatted documents, but it VERY readable except in poorly lit conditions where you'd need external lighting of some sort.
[G Tablet General] mystkrh:
Very true I should have bought her a nook, but now she doesnt want it because its not powerful enough for her needs imo. She also wants to login to her school (blackboard) and be able to use overdrive. Plus she likes dungeon defenders and I dont think that can handle it. We are just gonna wait it out and see what comes along, mostly cause we have our first due next month, so trying to be frugal.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Yep, you'll want a full blown tablet then and I suspect that the NC would be too much of a bother to get setup for her for what she wants it for...

All the 10" tablets are fairly heavy too, so you'll probably have to stick to looking for 7/8" tablets and I suspect Tegra 2 or multi-core cortex-a9 SoCs from other mfgs... not much in the way of 7" ATM other than the elocity a7 (was c. $300 around xmas), but it's not very hacker friendly and I don't know if they ever got the USB port to run in non-host mode... probably best to not even look at it...
[G Tablet General] jmbach:
The g Tablet would, as many have already said, be a great tablet if it had gps mainly and increased memory. Adding pci-e would be even better. I would be extremely happy with the addition of gps. I would be very tempted to allow somebody with expertise and high level of confidence of success to experiment on my tablet. :D
[G Tablet General] Dadeeo:
GPS+

Just bought my Gtab yesterday. As you know the stock Roman/UI sucks big time. I installed Clockwork followed by CyanogenMod 7 and what a difference. Anyway I looked on the web for a dock and it seems there is a Chinese version of the Gtab that has higher spec's including GPS. It would seem logical to assume the U.S. motherboard has the same circuits built in. Who knows what's possible....
