[Nexus S Android Development] baolongn:
i ran the update package u posted and now my phone is soft bricked.

i cleared data and cache and flashed the zips in this order

stock zip

gapps

superuser

it wouldn't even get past the splash screen. Its stuck on the android flashing letters. it does it about half way then it repeats. boot loop? help please.

i wiped the whole phone through lock and unlock.

what did i doooooo???
[Nexus S Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
Can you still get to recovery, if so then you can try to flash another ROM. There is a stock ROM nandroid listed in this section, restore using that to at least have a functioning phone and then try again I suppose.
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
I apologize for this question if it is stupid, but I'm just trying to make sure I understand correctly, so the images listed are compiled from AOSP whereas the update.zip is just the stock OTA to 2.3.2 (IE: its based on the stock Nexus S ROM not AOSP)?
[Nexus S Android Development] kanttii:
Your Recovery may be broken - that's what has happened to me, so I thought this might be it.

Can you get to fastboot or even hboot?
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Everything I posted in the OP is compiled from aosp. The update.zip I posted was built from source. You can flash it, or fastboot the img's and notice there are no gapps.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
odd. Couple times I flashed it to go back to stock for a repair it flashed perfectly fine for me. Try flashing update.zip, let it boot and manually push the gapps to it's respective directories.. Forgot to mention the update.zip will take you back to stock recovery so i think gapps.zip won't flash. You can also fastboot the img's as an alternative. Root will have to be pushed manually as stated in OP

Tried every rom time to give this a go
[Nexus S Android Development] tCC:
pfff, thanks for the files, successfully restored the stock recovery :D

I have just rooted my xperia x10 running on Android 2.1 with z4 root. Whats next? I have superuser and just installed busybox via marketplace. Whats next?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
Install jit. Remove bloatware. Apply themes. Read forums for answers.

There its lots you can do.

Oh and you don't really do much with superuser and busybox. But they are needed so leave them alone.

Thx for the help but where do I dl the apps ?? On this site ?? I dl jit but how do I install it from my pc to my x10?? Thx
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_C:
Go to Market for apps, get some basic like Titanium Backup and Restore, APN backup and restore. Do a backup, include system settings. Just in case.

There are several threads on JIT, this is one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829660

Try just the JIT piece before trying optimization.

Read read read, then read some more, and don't be scared to play about with your phone! I'm all for helping people out, but what you want to know is quite basic stuff that you should be finding out by exploring your phone, and you should really have found out "what next" before actually rooting, and HERE is a good place to start.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sixpence1:
This is a great post. Particularly the bold part. The majority of phones functionality that I know of, I've learnt from sitting down and playing with it. Most of the questions on this site can be figured out by just looking through all menus, screen etc.

Not having a go at you, but I don't really understand the "I've rooted my phone, now what?" type posts. Why root if you don't know what it does? Especially given that this forum is all about development rather than "make my phone look cool".

As XperiaX10iUser said, it helps to read as much as you can to get a basic grasp on things. Not trying to deter you from asking questions! Just helps to know what you're actually asking when you do. :)

Thanks everyone! I will do some research and play with my phone more. One of the reasons why I'm kind of scared to really play with my phone is because i'm afraid I might "brick" it =/ what are some of the things a Noob should avoid doing so he doesn't brick his device?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:

seriously...is hard to break since the bootloader isn`t cracked...now you won`t ask me what is boot loader, dou you?!:p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sixpence1:
Props to SE, the X10 is pretty unbrickable. I haven't come across anyone who wasn't able to recover their phone. It can be a pain in the ass but do-able. If you do start playing with modding your phone, chances are you will get the yellow exclamation mark of doom at some point, but a little patience and some more reading and you'll be right! Chances are someone else has had the same issue too, so the search tool can be your friend.

The only tip I really have is don't "play" with it late at night when you know you're going to need your phone the next day!

I"m trying to use superoneclick that came with the JIT v2 files, however, I'm having looping problem with shellroot, and i have spend like an hour re-doing it, but it is still looping. Is it because I rooted using z4root? should I re-root it with superoneclick? I tried the "allow non-market apps" and it works fine. It only loops when I try to shell root. I have not tried the rooting option in superoneclick yet..... my debug is checked, and I press "charge phone" when the option pop up, but superoneclick is just killing and starting ADB server. Please help!!

also, I did some search for the multi touch option, but I couldnt find it. How do I enable ( or get) the multi touch option that was otherwise unavailable to un-rooted x10? Thanks for all the helps!

Hello All,

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who contributed in helping me becoming a little less noob to the android device. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions!!

I had some time to read through some of the posts and played with the phone for a little bit more. I now have figured out how to install apk files from desktop!!! ( major step for me) However, I'm still baffled about the JIT installation and the loop in shell root. ( I tried everything but it refuses to stop looping!) Also, I'm still very confused on the multi touch part. Is it that its impossible for us to get the multi touch on x10 until we get an official release? Please provide me with a little more detailed hints. Thanks!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
hey man, from what i have read i think some of the guys trying to help you out may have missed something. you have already rooted with z4root yes? if so you dont really need to shell root (this wont give you much more functionality for the things you are trying to do - its for more advanced things). However, if you still wish to shell root using superoneclick (or whatever tool you are using) and are stuck in the root loop try this:

- start rooting process as normal

- when looping starts, disable USB debugging on handset

- re-enable USB debugging on handset (root process is still running in background)

- shell root should now complete :)

the MT component of the screen will not be enabled until one of two things happens - SE release it officially or the Bootloader is cracked which will allow us to install custom drivers for the hardware that we have. until either of these things are achieved will have to wait....

BTW, we will probably never have true Multi-Touch (MT), but more likely Dual Touch (DT) - a slightly more primitive version of MT.
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
I just updated my phone to DK28 using VIPERrom's DK28 version. While testing out VIPERrom I noticed that with some applications after shutting down that their icon in the taskbar would still be. I thought maybe they just didn't shut down, but when I would re open the app via the taskbar the apps would open from the beginning, not like they have been running in the background. I've downloaded 3 different task killers, all of which can see background running processes. None of them show the applications open.

Another example, I was working out and using my music player. After working out, I killed my music player via a task killer. The music stopped playing, but the icon was still in the task bar. A couple minutes later, it starts playing again and I can't shut it down because none of the task killers show it running? Ideas?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I've had a somewhat similar problem using the Nebula Rom. What I've learned, in my case, is that even though the icon is still there, it doesn't mean they aren't shut down. But, if you want to make sure the app is closed, simply go into the App Manager, click on the app that's bugging you, and press "Force Stop". It's always worked for me.

Hope this helps!
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
I'll have to try that. Just kinda sucks I have to spend an extra 5 seconds to shut it done vs using task manager :p

Also, I reinstalled DK28 using the official thread, instead of VIPER's, and after 10 minutes of testing, that seemed to fix the problem.
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
Scratch that, the icons still remain even after my update :(
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Seriously? Did you try my method?

If my method didn't work, then I'm not quite sure what's causing it.
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
No, your method did work, its just a hassle. Maybe I'll just go back to a stock phone and wait until the OTA update arrives with Dk11 in a couple days. This issue really annoys me. Is nobody else having his issue?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theowb4:
Hi guys, I helped my friend S-Off, root, and install Cyanogen on his G2. It hasn't been flawless though. His launcher has been reacting really strangely. Sometimes when he slides to unlock, the launcher doesn't load, and the screen is blank. He can hold down home to go to the multitask manager thing, but that's it. He went to his stock backup, and it didn't work there either. Does anybody know what might be causing this? This is the biggest problem he's suffering from.

Other problems:

Battery life a little less then a day

unable to change led color in handcent

[HD2 General] HyperNode:
WTF HD2 is now selling for 400-500, and its like 1years old the hell is going on. So I lost my HD2 and now these pricks are asking for more than it is worth as TMobile is out of it also. Some dude on craiglist selling me for $350 which I think is overpriced still. I need help ASAP :(

Desire HD < No US 3G

Any other phones? What about HD7? I heard you can change the mSD card?
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
So I decided to not to get the HD2 even tho it maybe been the best phone I have ever used, I think its time to put it down R.I.P. as I am not welling to pay $400 for a phone that is 1 years old as I paid the original one $750 months before it came out in USA. Even tho with my custom tweaks I still think my HD2 could have owned all yours :P

So ATM I am down to 2 phones as I do need GSM based which is both under TMobile the G2 (Desire Z) and myTouch 4G. But I am still surprised they still didn't have the HD2 standard (HD2 had it 1st so F the Evo fanboys) with 4.3" display. myTouch 4G does however beats down the Evo 4G with 1ghz 2nd gen snapdragon proc with Adreno 205 GPU which is what is under the hood in Desire HD which is what I wanted but in USA no 3G/HSPA+ support so it was a turnoff.
[HD2 General] JesusFreak316:
Uh, I got one off Craigslist for $150. USA T-Mobile right? Just patiently watch Craigslist and you should be able to find one.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
you get what you pay for........

this phone is still worth the money.
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Well JF316 I did see some offers on Craiglist but mostly all was around 300 and those that was below it are mostly used. ATM I am not welling to pay for HD2 when its old as I had my for over 10-11months and paid $750 for the Leo1024 (TMoUS Unlocked) model. But I have to say this phone was revolutionary. So when I can pay 300-350 and get better phone the MT4G why should I get HD2.

But the only thing I am disappointed at is that even now there are no GSM based phone following the full HD2 standard with 4.3" screen as the MT4G is 3.8". I know MT4G won't be something revolutionary :( as its already been out. I like to get my hands on things before it comes out. Also only reason I am getting it cuz I lost my HD2 which I wouldn't have replaced until there were dual core mobile processors.

But I can't also ignore the quadrant benchmarks for Evo 4G, Vibrant against MT4G. As the MSM8255 CPU and Adreno 205 GPU blows away the Snapdragon(1st gen)/Hummingbird CPU and Adreno 200/SGX 540 GPU. Also head to head with Epic/Evo/G2 this owns it in terms of speed also. Only downside I see ATM is 3.8" screen, guess we will have to see if bigger is better. Also it has no FM radio, but I can live with that as I don't listen to radio.
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:

[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Dude did you check the Desire HD? Do not confuse it with Desire Z, As HTC-DHD is superior compared to HD2. I am in USA and there is no 3G/HSPA support as TMo use 1700mhz so I am taking what they do have which is HTC MT4G.
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
some builds on HD2 are FASTER than DHD, believe me, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. But if I were you, I would go with the DHD, for the fastboot <3
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The hd2 may be faster than a stock desire HD, but that's not a fair comparison as the hd2 builds are rooted and tweaked... once you root and tweak the desire HD, it will definitely be faster than any hd2 build.

Everyone always is trying to compare a hd2 running a rooted and modified android build to stock native android phones and says the hd2 is faster than native android phones, but those are not fair comparisons.
[HD2 General] samizad:
The SuperRAM version of the HD2 Froyo by Darkstone is really rediculously fast. I have done simple comparisons against my colleague's Desire HD and neither of us can believe that a one year old phone (admittedly, modded to the hilt by some genious developers here on XDA) can outperform a brand new phone running its native ROM.

I would have replaced my HD2 long ago as I always get bored. But this phone is amazing because when I get bored, I just change the ROM and it's like a brand new device.

I just love it. Sorry for going on.
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Hmmm I hope you are not talking about the quadrant benchmark on HD2. First of all the hardware speak for itself and if you OC the CPU just remember it can also be done in other device as normally so match to match it will beat it down. Also havent we already ruled out the quadrant benchmark under HD2 has glitch for high scores?

Trust me I am fully aware of the HD2 as I had cpu scaled on 998mhz native and 1036mhz on heavy load. But lets not fool ourselves here if HTC wasn't dumb and did support 3G in USA most of us would have upgraded to it. IDK why HTC make dumb decisions as even till today there is no viable alternative to HD2 (CDMA device does not count) for GSM based phones.
