[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethal_NFS:
I have had my Vibrant for 4 days now I managed to root it and install a few roms. I know nothing about this but I found out how important it is to make backups of your phone. After I rooted the phone I installed clockwork mod and made a backup. Using clockwork you can boot to recovery mode with a press of a button. Some roms allow you to just drop the zip in the root of the phone and from recovery mode you can install them easily. Once you find a rom you want to try just follow the instruction provided by the dev. I screwed up a few times and even installed a rom that was not for my phone. If you can get to recovery mode you can fix your phone. Also, to manually get in to recovery mode you need to press and hold both volume buttons and then press and hold power. You will see the Vibrant screen then it will go away and return. When you see it return you need to let go of the power button. Eventually the recovery mode will appear.

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded the latest OTA update (1.7.405.2). The phone reboots and starts the update process but fails at some point by displaying the red triangle hazard.

Could some please tell me what's going on? I never had any problems installing OTAs before.

I have Visionary installed with PermRoot.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heffu:
I got the same problem, first OTA on my phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean2390:
It could be worth having a sticky mentioning that being permrooted stops the updates from performing with instructions to unroot the phone possibly?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djakhangir:
I have made an update without any problems. I had stock ROM (no root, nothing). Downloaded around 40 MB, installation process took about 5-10 minutes. I have noticed after update - during video rec camera became smoother (better), aslo before the update I had a problem with 3g internect connectivity. When I switched on the Router on my DHD, 3G connectivity used to went off (dissapear) from the bar. And I had to switch it off mannualy and on again to make it work. After update this is gone! Now router works perfect on DHD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SIRJEDI:
I had visionary+, permroot, all htc aps on stock. Update took a loooong time but my DHD turned on :)

I think PermRoot does not break the update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
That breaks the update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie1506:
Yes, permroot does not break the update because it does not change or remove anything on /system. It just adds su and Superuser.apk. As soon as you remove something stock, or change anything stock (like build.prop) it breaks.

Hi guys. I have a 1 week old DHD. Its not rooted, i dont even deleted any HTC software. I didnt use anything strange. I used launcher pro but doesnt matter...

I get the same red rectangle... Do you know why? And how can i solve it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Don't upgrade it the official way. Unless you are 200% sure you don't need root.

[Droid 2 Global General] Xyzkid13:
OK, so I finally got the system update for the D2G yesterday. I'm not new to this whole game, so I removed Clockworkmod, unrooted, and installed the update. The update downloads fine, but the with the little Android guy screen, I get an "!" in a triangle and then the phone reboots.

Maybe I didn't remove clockwork all the way? Don't you delete hijack and logwrapper, and then rename the logwrapper.bin to logwrapper?
[Droid 2 Global General] evilp8ntballer7:
well basiclly the phone needs to be untouch in terms of the file structure, in my case, I deleted a few of the stock apk files and when I tried to do the update it would fail because the stock apps were missing and the update is a patch not a full system OS so it cant install the default apps, I had to install them back to the system/app with root explorer and then set the permissions back to what they needed to be, unforchenitly a hard reset would not install the stock apps. Also make sure anything that the root touched has been set back to default
[Droid 2 Global General] eksempel_123:
I have the same problem too. I can't get the update to work at all after installing Fission ROM. I even restored from a nandroid from a fresh D2G. It worked fine on the untouched phone tho. I checked all the files in the /system/app and they were there. Is there any magical restore .zip perhaps? :)

[Droid 2 Global General] Xyzkid13:
I never touched anything... I stopped using Titanium Backup a long time ago when I uninstalled everything verizon and had the same OTA problem you described. I am at a loss for the problem that I have! All I ever did was root and put on clockwork, and I made sure they were gone when I updated.

Please, someone help!
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
did you uninstall of freeze any of the stock apps in /system/app? You need to restore them in order to successfully apply the OTA update. One file missing or modified in /system and checksums will fail/update fails.
[Droid 2 Global General] Xyzkid13:
the only time I touched anything in /system was when I removed clockwork by deleting hijack and renaming logwrapper.bin. Can anyone give me a number of files I'm supposed to have in /system, or maybe a way to go back to stock. Man, that SBF would be mighty helpful right now...
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
There is system dump laying around. I'll PM you the link (not sure if appropriate to post it here). You can use it to compare content and recover missing file(s).
[Droid 2 Global General] Currentweb:
Hi, I've been trying to find an answer, and I think you could help me.

I had the same problem as this person you were helping, but I already knew that I should look through the system dump and compare. I did that, and deleted one file called dbus.conf from /system/ect. Now, my phone just does the DROID animation over and over again! Please help, I made a copy of dbus.conf on my computer and did a nandroid backup. Please, you or someone else on here, HELP!
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
So you are in a boot loop. If you can't get the phone to boot into clockwork recovery, today is your lucky day! SBF was finally released!!! Get the SBF and reflash /system
[Droid 2 Global General] Currentweb:
Where is it? Isn't it only available to those with some app called TBH (or something like that)? And now I have to wait for a public release? And, if I'm wrong, can you give me a link to thee file? I can't find it anywhere...

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

I would recommend you to approach the team black hat members and talk to them directly about how to get the sbf while your phone is non functional.

[Droid 2 General] tgrantjr:
Ok here goes. I decided to try my hand at rooting and then putting on custom roms. I tried fission and liked it, but for some reason it crashed and the phone would not come back on. I did the whole spiel of flashing it back to stock 2.3.20. Now it is a fully functional phone except for one thing. If the battery completely dies and i plug it into my computer to charge it come up in bootloader mode and says "low battery, cannot program". If i plug it into a wall charger it will start charging fine. Has anyone had this issue and know how to possibly fix it. Everything works fine. If i have to re-flash it again i can probably find the thread that had all the sbf info on it along with the programs. thanks all for reading.
[Droid 2 General] Renegade8100:
perhaps you should use the cracked bootloader to erase battery stats.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
you will have to restore your evo back to stock and then re root....this is how you do it:

download the 3.30 release from this site and put in root of sd card http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?ca...del=Supersonic

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/an...ndroid-backup/

once you are back to stock, check to see what hboot version you have...this will determine the root method you have to use to re root it...i would not use the root method you did in the first post...there are other methods that are more reliable...if you are hboot 2.02 or 2.10, follow this method... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

if you are a different hboot like .76 or something else..you can use the unrevoked 3.2.1 method

good luck

The kernel you flashed was the stock htc #17 as noted in the post. This is a kernel custom made for our phones so it will not work with google android builds.

You will need to wipe data/cache/dalvik and then restore to a nandroid that you made after you finished rooting. The only real purpose for that initial nandroid is to save your wimax partition since your phone was not usable when that was made.

Which is the best ROM for captivate IN YOUR OPINION, which means there is no wrong answer.

I am at Axura 2.5.1 right now but the developer halt its development, so I'm asking everyone which is the best ROM you have used whether it's I9000 based or Captivate or Gingerbread.

I know most of us wants the one with the best battery life and the most stable.

Axura 2.5.1

Perception Build 9.5

Ginger Clone 2.2 Final R5

Assonance v5.2

Cezar's ROM

Darky Port v7.0.1

Cognition v2.3b8

Cronus v.200

Doc's ROM JPY v6.1.3

Darky's v6 XXJPXA

Insanity Remixed v7

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKR.Dragan:
Well,

I've a problem with the synchronisation of my HD2 with my PC:

I synchronized my contacts etc from my mobile with thunderbird (with lightning) on my PC with Windows 7 using BirdieSync. Everything went fine.

Afterwards I flashed the HTC with an Energy ROM (incl. Hard SPL, Radio etc. as described in this forum) and even this went fine. Unfortunely all contacts were gone but that was not surprising...

Now I would like to synchronize my contacts back on my phone but somehow the BirdieSync keeps on telling me that it cannot establish a connection to the mobile. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with and without the phone connected (installation is only possible with connected mobile) but it still doesn't work.

Anyone some experience?

Thanks in advance

This is my first time visiting this site and so far it's awesome! Thanks for building an awesome site!

So, I bought the HTC Touch T8282 off Craigslist and I'm not sure what to do. It's all in Chinese (Traditional according to my buddy) and I don't understand it. I guess I just need to put English on there. The phone is already unlocked. I assume I need to flash my phone now...

I powered on the phone with the volume down button and see it's SPL 1.14.0liNex. I'm not really sure what else to do from here.

I came across this thread in the HD2 forum, it is an app for a software sidebar-styled soft keys for the hd2. Downloaded and tested on a rooted nook and it works brilliantly!

I'm using Zeam launcher. In landscape mode, the little arrow is directly on top of the dock icons. Really wish if we can configure the position separately between portrait and landscape mode.

I sent a pm to the dev asking if it would be possible to add an option to set the position of the dock. Maybe using sliders for horizontal and vertical positioning. The app is great though and is really streamlined with the rest of the interface imo. Glad I could help.

I have recently gotten into flashing custom roms, and am currently running Axura 2.5 with SetiroN's 1.4.3

After initial battery conditioning and what not, I have been having good life out of my phone.

I do every now and then wake up to a warm phone which has dropped nearly 40% battery in 6 hours of sleep.

The culprit as per OS Monitor is system/bin/mediaserver

It seems to use a constant cpu of 10%-20%

Trying to kill the process just results in it restarting and burning up cpu again.

Only way to kill it is to reboot the phone.

Since the Axura development thread has been closed and appears Adam is either upset with people complaining or maybe just taking a breather (love the rom) I am not able to get more information there, though when I did bring it up there, others also noticed similar findings.

Anyone know what this file is, what is causing it to go spastic and kill my battery, and how to make it behave?
