Sorry doesn't work for me! It gets about 1/4 updating and then goes to the red triangle icon and never turns off. I did everything the guide said. I have the original recovery and S-OFF. What do I do now as I simply want to update and not lose my data! :mad:

You know you can flash the rooted updates without losing your data right?

How? I want my phone to stay stock with root like it is now. I simply want my updates too.

Thanks,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Just flash a rooted copy of the stock ROM and only wipe the cache and dalvik. If you leave your data intact it will save all your settings.

I've been updating this way since I rooted about a month after the phone came out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fifth313ment:

Can you point me to a step by step guide xHausx? And this would keep my caller ids, apps, internet files, themes, preferences, etc?

1. Download a Rooted 3.70 Stock Rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=874251)

2. Copy Downloaded rom to your SDCard

3. Reboot to Recovery

4. Wipe Cache

5. Wipe Dalvik-Cache

6. Flash the Zip you copied to your SDCard

7. Reboot

8. Done

Do Not Wipe Data, or you will lose what you are trying to keep.

For some reason teshx set that ROM up to wipe data.. you'll have to open the zip and change it.

look in it for meta-inf\com\google\android\update-script file and open that, at the top you will see it say "format DATA:". Just delete that, save, zip and flash.

Why that is set up like that I have no idea

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
damn man you really like your phone stock, and i guess you dont have time to read all 9 stickys helping root people, so we'll just need to fill you in

the bottom line: flash a custom rom and you will never want to go back. NEVER OTA WITH ROOT OR YOU COULD GET SCREWED BADLY. even a stock-ish custom rom like mikfroyo is better than stock. titanium backup will backup all apk's and data. or you can just not wipe data.

flash myns.

just do it

you wont regret it

or just stick with stock.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
Hi,

I just got a Samsung Vibrant and I'm having trouble selecting an mp3 as a default tone for the calendar reminder. Here is what I've been doing step by step:

calendar - create - then I set up all the details (location, etc) and click on "Alarm" to set the Alarm and then "Alarm Tone" to try to select the mp3 but I can only select from a a pre-selected sounds list. I have 2 questions:

- Can I select an mp3 as my alarm tone?

- Can I set an mp3 as a DEFAULT alarm tone so that I don't have to do the same thing for ALL my calendar events? (I have A LOT of them)

I have found an app that does exactly what I want, so I'm thinking this is not a native function on the android calendar called Calendar Event Reminder (cannot post link here). I find this weir though because this is a simply function that even lower end smartphones have.

cheers

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmdied:
I've tried both new releases of Evervolv and WeDoDroid Gingerbread roms and find that my screen will not respond to auto-dim when unit is turned off then on (not reboot).

I've had this happen with a few other AOSP roms but not Sense roms.

Currently, I'm using Ruby 2.0 and do not have this issue so I am wondering if this is a build issue.

So here are my questions;

Is this a beta build issue?

Is anyone else having this issue with GB? Roms?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kukari:
I don't know about auto dimming, but I have mine set at a specific level and every so often mine will come out of lock with the screen on full brightness. I think this may be a driver issue in Gingerbread, at the moment.

[G1 Android Development] dalek1999:
1st post here.

Seems like basic problem but I cannot get adb connected to my G1.

I started off on process of upgrading to CM 6.1 but when I was about to put recovery image on phone I discovered flash_image program was not found. Then set off on the adb route but am now stuck. Tried searching but not found answer. Here is what I have done/tried so far:-

PC is XP Pro SP3

G1 V1.6 rooted via Universal method (su works ok via Term)

Downloaded and installed latest SDK in c:\Android-sdk

USB debugging is enabled on phone

SD card is not mounted

When I run "adb devices" (from C:\android-sdk\platform-tools) it fails with

msg "error: protocol fault (no status)"

The basic usb connection to PC is known to be working ok (have copied files to phone sd card etc. no problem if I mount it)

The installation of usb drivers seemed to go ok although I had to do it manually from folder \android-sdk\google-usb_driver

When I look at usb devices with USBDeview there are 3 related to Android phone (all enabled).

1. HTC Android phone usb device (connected)

2. USB Mass storage device (not connected)

3. Android composite ADB interface (not connected)

Further info...

I see other people have had the same problem (with other phones as well) but cannot find any specific reason or fix that works.

I have reinstalled latest sdk rev08

Unintsalled and reinstalled latest google usb drivers (ver 4) endless times

Usb driver install appears to all go ok

In XP Device Manager I get Android Phone device which expanded shows single Android Composite Interface Device which has staus enabled and working ok

I have no "Other" usb devices etc. showing up in Device Manager

USBDeview shows 3 usb devices for Android phone. The connected one shows the htc serial no. The ADB composite interface is not connected and has no serial number.

I have tried different usb ports, cables, and another standard G1 phone - all gives same results

I noticed the adb_usb.ini file had no device id in it, I ran "update adb" as per comment note at top of adb_usb.ini but still got not entries in file.

Someone surely must have solution to this. I cannot believe a G1 phone does not work/been tested with sdk adb.

Maybe some source code guru can tell me under what conditions adb gives the "protocol error: no status" msg.

Or could someone with a working G1 adb usb connection post their adb_usb.ini etc.

Have spent 2 days on and off fiddling with this sdk now. :-(

Thanks

It should give you 2 OK then do

After that disconnect your phone, turn it off then when its off push (home+power)

You should get your recovery.

I have a shell script that uses wget to regularly pull a gif file off of a server to check its status. This script worked fine when I was running Eugene's Vibrant9, but when I replaced that ROM with Bionix Fusion 1.2 the script stopped working. wget only pulls down a portion of the gif and stops.

I just installed Nero v3 and really like it. But the issue with wget remains. I would like to replace busybox with a version with a working wget.

So, with that in mind, is it possible to pull the busybox out of Eugene's Vibrant9 and push it onto my phone running Nero?

If not, I think that I have adequately explained the problem, so any other suggestions as to get a working wget would be well appreciated.
