[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
It's true that there's nothing in the gps navigation area that touches Garmin XT, and that thing is like 10 years old but it still have great navigation with fresh maps.

SPB mobile shell is as good as any android launcher, with multiple desktops and interactive widgets. It's lean, fast and stable. Had Microsoft bought it from SPB and slapped it on every windows mobile phone sold they wouldn't have given away the market to ios and Android.

It's all too late though, everyday I lean more toward Android for the apps. Opera Mobile is already on Android, someday somebody will hack that navigation software out of that garmin phone :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
Since Garmin XT is so reliable and clean to use I'm going to add that to the list of nav apps. Garmin is on my q9h and it runs in a 6meg ram space, and I can have other apps open at same time (on a q9h). I love winmo, but I too lean towards Android now. I think it is appropriate to say that android is a superior os, because "Microsoft Has Said So Itself" by scrapping 6.5 and moving on to a new os.

Android Version 2.2

Baseband Version 2.15.00

Kernal Version 2.6.32.15-ge2f608

Build number 3.29.651.5

Software number 3.29.651.5

HBoot 0.97

Tried rooting with unrevoked 3.21. At the end of the process is says "Failed to flash recovery image." Recovery image clockwordMod Recovery.

I had rooted previously and then updated and lost root. I still have superuser permission app.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have gone through many of the previous threads, but have not been able to figure out why the unrevoked method would not work for me considering my HBoot is not 2.02.

Thanks!!!

Maybe try downloading and running an official 3.29.651.5 RUU and then try unrevoked3 again to root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
yes if you do not have a custom recovery download a RUU from this link...http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic

after downloading the ruu...plug your phone in and run it and then it will revert your phone back to stock...then you can try agian to root

good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanrs1:
My phone is running stock. I have never flashed a ROM. I had used unrevoked previously. I did not save any of the settings. When I updated, I lost root. My HBoot is 0.97, so I am unsure why unrevoked will not work for me. I do not have the ability to change ROMs or for a custom recovery. I do not have ClockworkMod recovery. So I do not think I can use unrevoked forever, or use any other ROMs.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuregeek:
Hello all - I have an Evo 4g on the Sprint network with a rooted 2.2 rom details are as follows:

Baseband 2.15.00.09.01

Build 3.29.651.5 CL252548 release-keys

PRI 1.77_003

PRL 60669

First and foremost, it was a pain in the ass to re-root my replacement Evo (first one had charging issues - new one had 2.2). I work in IT management and with Microsoft Enterprise technolgies so I don't care about geeking out my phone or dealing with technical **** that I already deal with all day.

Bottom line here, I get OTA notifications all the time - WiMAX performance sucks in North Dallas/Irving area in Texas. Battery life is crap. I also must completely reset the device to remove a Google Account that I made on a whim when I got the first phone so I can use a secondary account I created as primary which has my Google Voice (thanks for the simplicity here Google). My visual voicemail prompts me to update and refuses to function otherwise without the OTA. I would just use a stock ROM from Sprint but need root so I could install bootlegged apps from others, run my phone as an access point on demand and spam the individual not answering my texts with EliteBomb.

1. What apps and features can I update OTA (not the ROM I know about this and it's sucks should be three clicks and done - not type all this and recovery blah blah)? Can I update this visual voicemail and if not why?

2. There must be an easier way to quickly reflash any stock ROM of my choice, root it and get rid of that damn startup video that is so stupid. I don't want to spend more than one minute of my time dealing with this matter and just want to use a phone and get back to life (wish the Windows phone really did that). Is there an EXTREMELY FAST WAY TO ROOT ANY STOCK 2.2 PHONE and then do upgrades without repetition and if not why? Also, what is the fastest way to kill the startup video and sounds without geeking out here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Whtas holding you back from flashing a custom rom? Its not hard, just find one you want. then connect your phone as a disk drive and on the screen that comes up ( its the root of your SD card ) drag and drop your file there. Then reboot in recovery ( hold VOL down and power ) and then on the screen that comes up select flash zip ( select your own ) and then find it and then your good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuregeek:
RE

:)This is a good point and will be done from here out, however I am not inclined to work with custom ROM's as I do not know what modifications the developer has made to the privacy of the device. With client sensitve data (I do mean sensitive to a legal standpoint) I find it best to use a stock ROM and then root it.

In addition, I don't want to be bothered with boo-boos that exist with custom ROM's and compatibility with various apps, functions and features. Not that I don't admire many of the custom ROM's - they are simply not for businesses as ours which need the phone to make money.

All I care about is having a stock ROM with root and taking out things I don't want or care about such as the startup junk, HTC Sense (FriendStream and nonsense lol) and the evil limitations of running non-market apps.

HATS OFF TO THE AWESOME WORK OF CUSTOM ROM DEVELOPERS AS I AM ON XDA OF COURSE!:D

I am new to this site in terms of posting. I appreciate the hard work that all of you put in to filling the community with all your knowlegde and helping those of us with very minimal understanding of programming accomplish things we would otherwise not be able to.

Which brings me to why I am here; I am in the US Military and currently stationed in south korea, i have a samsung captivate that i would love to use on the SK telecom rather than buy a brand new smart phone. I have a prepaid sim but after doing some reading SK blocks all IMEI's that are not in their database (a.k.a. foreign phones). I was wondering if there was a way to spoof my IMEI to say a cheap prepaid phone I get here in order to use my phone on something other than WIFI.

Again I appreciate any input you guys have and solution would be great but I don't expect you guys to break your backs over something that you may never use yourselves.

try plugging in usb with the battery out and then holding vol+- and inserting the battery while holding the volume buttons if not you need to make a jig.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
I've had success with this method to get into Download Mode:

1. Remove battery, SIM and microSD from phone (if you have one)

2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone in this state

3. Plug your phone into your computer (this step has always been optional for me)

4. Hold Volume Up/Down, don't let go!

5. While holding both volume keys, insert the battery

If it worked, you should almost instantly be in Download Mode. I've omitted step 3 and still had success using those steps on my batch 1007 phone. In general, I get my phone into Download Mode first, and then plug it into the computer.
[Captivate General] aggielover:
I'm probably just going to go to AT&T tomorrow and get them to exchange it if I can't get it to get into download mode tonight.
[Captivate General] aggielover:
Didn't work, this used to work for me but now no luck. I don't know why it just stopped going into download mode.
[Captivate General] kalex12:
Could you usb connect to PC on debug mode? Is this connecton visible from your PC?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
That's a semi-bricked screen. No, normal method to go into download mode won't work in this state.

There are instructions to recover from this state into download mode. I have posted a few links in the past but don't have it right now. IIRC, you need to hold both vol buttons and Power button and wait until screen goes blank twice before release the power button so that your phone could go into download mode.

The other way is to rig a microUSB plug with a 301k resistor connected between pin5 and one of the data pin. This will put your phone instantly into download mode. There is a thread dedicated for this. Search.
[Captivate General] xrCore:
Thank you, this worked for me!
[Captivate General] darthdave:
I've been having the same issue and none of the methods mentioned on the forums have worked. I recently updated to a custom 2.2.1 rom (Paragon) and when I tried to flash back to stock with odin (afterwards), it gave me the finger (got stuck in the process). I tried to unplug and plug back in the usb, restart odin, pc, reinstall drivers (none of which helped). So my dumbarse decided to take the battery out to reboot the phone. Usually after doing so in the past, I've been able to manually get into download mode using the 3 button combo, but haven't been able to so far. I haven't tried making a jig yet, knowing me, I might seriously break something that way.

I was reading somewhere that 2.2.1 breaks the 3 button combo (along with 1 click root for that matter). Just wondering if there is anything else I can try or should I just make a jig? Should I take it in to AT&T and see if they can do something or should I call them? Just wanting some advice from the Gurus here.

edit: and "no, I can't do it through ADB or I would've already".
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
jig it up
[Captivate General] bames:
was going to suggest the same....thats only happened once (after install of gingerbread alpha) but that was the only thing that worked....the download screen literally jolted on the instant the battery connectors touched.
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
2.2.1 puts the 3-button setup to whatever the i9000 uses, which is different from the Captivate. Nobody's made a fix yet AFAIK.
[Captivate General] Lawliet L Ryuzaki:
for me i managed to get it into download mode, BUT, when i try running Odin it's stuck at "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"

any thoughts?

What build is your phone, located under battery. Something like 1010

Search for Sparkfun in the dev forum for Captivate. Easy to make jig (that's been mentioned before) that will get you out of the woods.
[Captivate General] irishvandal:
I am having issues getting into download mode myself. Samsung Captivate SGH-I897. I just got it less than two weeks ago. Played with some of the features. Did the root. Did the ROM manager. Everything I needed to do to have Serendipity 5.12 installed. Did it. worked great. Was missing some of the apps I enjoyed from the gate(Samsung EMail). So i read up that u could make a custom Serendipity in the kitchen.

Put the phone to JH6 from Odin. Also did the master clear. So now I am at 2.1 update 1 from Odin.

However, Now I cant get Clockwork Recovery at all ( when option is selected it goes to default recovery every single time ). I did try to re-install the correct flash for Clockwork, same results.

So, i thought maybe something didnt copy or flash or clear correctly and was going to do an Odin procedure again, cant get into download mode now. NOT AT ALL.

The phone will just re-boot into JH6. It operates normally, however I can shake JH6. No download mode. No Clockwork recovery.

I am noob, I am a quick hands on learner though. Not even sure if this will get the response desired.

OUCH. Keep us updated if you fix it.
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
I was at the car stereo place and found nearly every headunit with a USB port in the front saying that it is compatible with an iPod or iPhone. Question is, have any of you guys tried hooking it up to a Android device? Does it charge? Will it fry my cellphone? I'm leaning towards a Kenwood headunit but just wondering if there are any precautions. Thank you
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
You should be fine. I doubt it would damage the phone as most smart phones have similar power requirements/charging methods these days. The iPhone's cables are just normal USB cables with a special plug on one end and an Apple logo so they can charge more. :) Most things labelled "For iPhone/iPod" work just fine on Android devices.
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
Anyone with a USB port on their headunit using a Android phone?
[Nexus S General] mmas0n:
My Honda has a USB port for the stereo. It does not allow the me to use the phone to control audio through USB as this is not supported like it is on iPod (same with any Android phone, has nothing to do with Nexus S in particular) but it does work in Mass Storage Mode and allows me to control audio through the head unit.

All of this is moot anyway as the best solution is to use a car mount and connect through the 3.5m stereo out to the AUX input. I can then not only use Last.fm and Navigation sounds through the stereo, but also phone call audio gets passed through. It's pretty much awesome and makes me glad I did not spend the extra $1200 on the in dash GPS/touchscreen head unit with bluetooth.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Hello guys, as the title says..

I am unable to access a Custom Recovery Image, even though I'm rooted and have been for some time. I use ROM Manager, and recently attempted to flash a new Recovery (updated Clockwork) which didn't install, and then I tried to access the Custom Recovery to update a ROM, which didn't work, as it just went to the normal Android Recovery, highly annoying.

So I thought I'd try to access HBOOT screen, that also didn't work (when I did the button combinations), and then thought I'd access ClockwordMod Recovery via the button combination, that also didn't work.

I originally rooted my phone before Unrevoked was available for the Desire, which, I must've done it in a way in which CMR was never available when using the Recovery Image button combination from Hardboot, so I always used ROM Manager, which worked perfectly fine until today.

Any advice on how to do this? Is it possible to ADB Push the Custom Recovery Image and always have it there? It's quite frustrating in all fairness.

I'm now running Oxygen 2.0 RC3.

Dan
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
What happens exactly when you fail to access your custom recovery via the bootloader screen? Do you receive any errors? Have you tried re-installing ROM Manager or tried an older recovery image?

If all else fails, try flashing AmonRa recovery with unrEVOked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
I've tried to push AmonRa with Unrevoked, and that didn't work either.

I've tried to uninstall ROM Manager and reinstall it and that didn't work, and tried to flash Clockworkmod Recovery, that also didn't work.

I don't get any errors, I just get to the Android Recovery Screen, with the Red Triangle.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
from what i understand is that you are fake flashing everytrime that you use your recovery. i would recommend that you backup all your data and keep them in safe place. as long as you cannot boot into fastboot i cannot recommend you to do s-off(if fastboot was working you could try for s-off and after try to fkash recovery through fastboot). the only thing is to use an unbranded RUU and start over by using unrevoked to root and flash custom recovery(i suggest AmonRa's for the Desire) than you can restore your backed apps after flashing the desireable rom.

for the record if you boot into fastboot by pressing back button+Power on, does it go there? and if it does not go can you tell me what it say?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Yes, I can only use fake-flash to do everything now which gets quite annoying. I was thinking about doing that, just installing an unbranded RUU and kind of sorting my phone out fresh, which gives me a chance to partition my SD card again without having the "Format SD Card" option every time I plug my phone in.

Hi, sorry to ask again, i've run through a lot of tread and still cant find the answer...

i have almost similar problem, i

can get access to HBOOT menu if i connect the phone through PC and removed the battery

, but it only said RUU, not hboot, fastboot, recovery and usual menu... why...???

if i didnt removed the battery or start normally, i only get grey HTC logo with black background and /!\ on all the corner...

so now i can't get access to HBOOT, recovery or os, i've try to get a gold card, but adb cannot read my phone (maybe because i cant access fastboot)... GoldCardTool also didnt work...

i've ask several people, but they keep asking me to look again into all the tread available... at lease tell me what should i look for please... its been a week already... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you just flashed the wrong RUU and now your phone is in RUU mode (can access it through "adb shell reboot oem-78" if anyones interested), all you need to do is flash the correct RUU.

If you don't know which RUU is right for you, then you will need to make a goldcard so you can just flash the latest WWE RUU

to make a goldcard, turn on your phone and plug into usb (yes I know your phone shows triangles, ignore them, you're still in fastboot)

then type:

fastboot oem gencheckpt

This will boot you into recovery if it's there

wait for about 20 seconds, and type:

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1*/cid

NOTE: if this command doesn't work, then I can't help you.. I'd suggest trying again, maybe you didn't wait long enough for recovery to start.. or maybe recovery isn't even there anymore.

this will give you a series of letters and numbers. Copy them down VERY CAREFULLY. Once you've got that, follow this guide on making a goldcard.

Once you've done that. Flash this RUU, and you should be done.
