[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redlinux:
I came across this one but the picture is still Black and not the Slate Grey as describe. I was wondering if anyone has seen (even in picture) an actual colored grey HTC Desire HD.

Thanks!

i finally found it! it looks nice! LOL

Isn't that just the prototype?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Catch it in the correct lighting and screw with the colour balance (the hands not quite right) and mine looks not a million miles from that, but yeah from the date (and the writing on the back) I would assume that's a prototype
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaybachMan:
Where do you actually buy a non-Mocha one from? I'd much rather buy a black one, but I can't find them anywhere... I'm pretty sure they're not even producing them.
[G1 General] chdesign:
OK guys I got root and I went to load Danger SPL and on reboot it just stays at the G1 screen...I've tried all button combinations with no luck....I'm searched and found no solution...someone has to have a fix for this...please help guys!
[G1 General] traumatism:
so you cant get into bootloader or recovery??

if so i think your phone may be as useful as a doorstop (its bricked)
[G1 General] shadowch31:
Radio before spl, you have a brand new paperweight.

I was afraid of that...looks like a motherboard swap for me....you guys don't know anyone that does a JTAG restore on the g1's do you?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogkhaze:
What is the default CM6.1 kernel? Also, can someone link me to it? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I searched the CM6.1 Stable thread, but seems like the only answer is to reflash the ROM. Can't find a flashable version of it for some reason
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julesism:
I believe the kernel that comes baked in CM is one that koush compiled. I'll dig around for it and post if I find it. I'm pretty sure I have seen it buried somewhere...

*EDIT*

It used to be in ROM Manager -> Download ROM -> Koush but that option is empty now :/ still diggin.....

*EDIT #2*

I found a Koush kernel on my sdcard from October :/ Unfortunately it's looking bleak finding a stand alone zip of the current kernel. I would suggest just trying another kernel, perhaps invisiblek's.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Yeah, it's definitely one that Koush made. Unfortunately it looks like he's barely supporting CM6 for the inc anymore, so I don't know if we'll see much more from him in the Inc scene
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eppidemic:
I'm headed to bestbuy now. gonna pick up a nexus S. Just wanted to know if there are any issues, and what to check for when I have the new device in my hand?

Also a side note. I dont really need 4g, as I dont browse much on my phone. But rumor has it, people are seeing speed boosts on some 3g phones. is the NS seeing these boosts in 4g areas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knytphal:
Good choice! :)

I can't think of any issues that you need to be aware of from the onset, apart from some BB stores forcing purchasers to also buy one of their cases. I don't know if they are still trying to do that one, though.

The Nexus S isn't a 4G phone, but I do think it has an HSDPA/HSUPA radio so it can - theoretically - get 7.2 mbps down, which is more than you'll ever need in a handheld device as far as I'm concerned. ;) I can routinely get 4mps download, which is plenty for me.

Enjoy your new phone!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I personally would play around with the phone for 2-3 days as stock (rooting is fine) and see how it is. If everything is okay, then fully go into hacking mode and flash roms, clockwork recovery and do all that other stuff.

Just as a backup plan incase something is wrong with your phone and you need to exchange.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Open it, turn it on IN THE STORE.

Check the screen make sure the screen looks white and not tinted some other color.

Look at the soft buttons, make sure they're all lit up evenly. Test them, especially the back and home buttons. Make sure they work correctly.

Test the volume buttons up/down and also the power button.

That should be all the "hardware" issues people are seeing.

If any of these have issues, ask the person for a different one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Keep in mind that if you buy the phone at full price you have 30 days to return, but I believe it is only 14 days if you buy the phone subsidized.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The 14 days depends on your location. Many states, such as here in California, mandate that all cell phone purchases with service contracts can be cancelled/returned in 30 days.
[G2 and Desire Z General] awsrasool:
Hi everyone, I got my desireZ back in November and it has been working perfect ever since, i have it rooted using VISIONary and everything was perfect until today. The phone was in my pocket and i was lsning to music, i looked at my phone and all i saw was a white line going from the top of the screen to the bottom, i pressed the power button to turn of the screen, then i pressed it again and now all I see is a black screen with the back light on.

I have tried to soft reset the phone, took out the battery sim card and left the phone for a while, came back turned it on and still the same thing black screen with the back light on... The touch screen works fine i still hear the phone receiving txt msges and emails, i can even receive phone calls, and answer them by sliding my finger across the screen like usual.

I am trying to do a hard reset of the phone but i can't do that cause even when i turn on the phone while holding the volume down key i still dont see anything on the screen

any help would be appreciated.

EDIT - after trying to open the keyboard a couple of times, now the screen turns on white... when i press the power button to turn of the screen and turn it back i see a fading effect where the screen slowly turn on from left to right (fades from black to white) and then stays white till i press the power button again....
[G2 and Desire Z General] awsrasool:
Since i have rooted my phone, i dont belive i can take it to bell to fix it the way it is... and since i can't see the screen to perform a hard reset to remove the root (i dont have s-off) ... does anyone know of another method for doing this? maybe with connecting to a computer?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
There is another thread on the forums about someone having the same issue. I believe there is a solution using adb on your PC to connect to the phone.

Not sure how 'tight' your service provider is, but if the screen is dead, and you are still under your warranty period, they may simply swap the device for you after doing some 'basic' tests and dump it into the bucket that goes back to the factory for refurb. The fact that it is rooted won't be discovered until much later, if ever, so it may not be an issue.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] steellam:
Any idea on the location of this thread, can't find it anywhere.

I am suffering the exact symptoms as the OP with my Desire Z which is rooted with visionary rom flashed - I would really like to know how to use adb to resolve this !

Hello there, i have a htc desire... a few hours ago i`ve tried rooting it. a few seconds after flashing started, everything stopped, the screen went black, and no response what so ever since. when i plug in usb cable, the led indicating charging doesn't turn on. when i press the power button 1 single vibrate then nothing, the screen remains black. the pc does recognize it. when i type adb devices in cmd i get :

List of devices attached

HT07TPL02170 recovery

any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
How long did you leave it before pulling the plug when rooting?

It should have been left for a good 5 minutes before getting worried....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
uh... whell about 2 minutes. didn't know that i've had to let it 5 minutes, doesn't say in the tutorial...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Ok, well id suggest running the root process again until it says its successful on your pc.

No guarantees this will work tho....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
i think the update.zip is not suitable for my version of htc, maybe that's why it didn't work. can u help me with a stock froyo 2.2 rom? and maybe a quick tutorial on how to flash it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
What is your current rom and is it branded.

Do you have the rom details, numbers etc..

The more info. The better.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
i don't think it's branded... my current rom, i have no idea :( i'm new to android.

32.43.00.32U --- does this help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
The easiest thing to do would be to run the 2.29.405.5 RUU or flash it as PB99IMG from your sdcard.

Do a search in this forum as it has been detailed a number of times.

HTH
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
okay... i've flashed with RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

worked. everything is ok now. but... how do I root the damn thing ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Nice one.

To root, you need to use unrevoked3.

Just follow the instructions on their website, don't miss anything and don't pull the pkug too early.

I'm assuming you used unrevoked earlier?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
i used r6-desire-root.zip

but first made an goldcard... on a 2gb sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
I've never heard of that.

Have a look at unrevoked, it is what the majority, if not all, use on here.

Just a heads up before you continue, make sure you install htc sync and then uninstall it before continuing. This leave a couple of drivers installed that the process uses.

Then follow the instructions to the letter!

Try not to pull the plug prematurely.....

Good luck :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
unrevoked gets stuck on "waiting for bootloader" altough the bootloader is on screen...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Have you enabled usb debugging?

Have you turned off any antivirus, firewalls on your pc?

Does it say 'fastboot usb' on your phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
ok.. let's take it step by step.

I've uninstalled HTC Sync, but left the htc usb driver installed.

i've started unrevoked, it rebooted the desire, then hangs at waiting for bootloader

On the phone i have the white screen with the following options

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

and a few info's on the device.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Have you installed the hboot drivers from unrevoked? There is a download link for them on their site.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
failed to get root, is your firmware to new?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Have a look at

http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/gen...esire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/

It might help...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
okay, done it. rooted. but the sd card wasn't in the phone, is that a big prb ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Nah, shouldn't be.

Unrevoked wont touch your sdcard.

Before you carry on with flasing roms etc, take a nand backup through clockworkmod. This will give you a point to restore back to if you have problems.

Make sure your sdcards in.

Go into recovery:

phone off then turn phone on while holding the volume down button. Wait...

Choose recovery using vol down then power. Wait...

Using trackpad, choose backups/restores then backup.

Wait then reboot when complete.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spd00:
okay. one more thing... how can i make android save apps on sd card by default... and i mean the whole app. cause i read that with setinstalllocation 2 ... the phone still saves some files from the app on the phone. i need the whole app on the sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
You need to look into apps2sd.

I couldn't really comment as I'm using the Oxygen rom that leaves lots of device storage free anyway :)

All id suggest is now that you're rooted and got your phone working again, don't rush into anything. Do lots of reading on this and other forums so you can make an educated decision.

Rushing in will only cause you problems, and there's god know how many threads on here to prove it!

Good luck :)

My brother was out last night and out of nowhere his phone screen went blank. The LCD is displaying the color black but will not show anything else. The touch screen is responsive but you can't see what you're touching. I've tried entering the bootloader and recovery mode, and I'm pretty positive it's working but there is still nothing displayed on the screen.

You should ask this in the correct area for your phone. I have no knowledge of any other phones but Magic.

Still, see if this helps. When I change my boot animation I put it to system/media/bootanimation.zip.

Why can't you get to recovery?
[Android Themes] CrazyKnight122:
I checked there i couldnt find anything.

There is no recovery for my phone yet.

Yeah ill ask in the correct forums.
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
It's either /system/media, /system/customize/resource or /data/local, or more than one of them.
[Android Themes] KillaHurtz:
1st off I love how you bump your own thread lol.

2nd, If you phone is rooted install 'root explorer' or simular and search for bootanimation.zip, this will show you where your current animation is stored.

3rd. Remember the directory & copy the bootanimation.zip you want into that folder & overwrite, reboot.

4th. Hope that helps, enjoy !

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoCatharsis:
I was hoping some of you could decisively wrap up these issues for an Android newb...

ClockworkMod - What is it and what exactly does it do?

Amon RA - How is it different than ClockworkMod?

In ROM Manager, the "Flash Latest Recovery" option shows CWM v3.0.0.4 as my current and v2.6.0.1 as the latest. Why has the version been reverted?

What is a NANDROID backup? I gather that Amon RA makes a NANDROID backup, but CWM does not. Does this mean CWM backups are less thorough?

In the Amon RA recovery console, there is an option for "Nand backup" and another for "Nand + ext backup". What's the difference?

Following up with the previous question: I understand ext is a partition on my phone (I understand that much from using Linux a little). I have not changed the partition since buying the phone - is it recommended that I re-partition? What would be the ideal setup?

That's it for now. I appreciate all the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoCatharsis:
I never received any feedback on this post and I think it was because the title was very generic. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
1. CWM is a custom recovery. It allows you to flash new roms and kernels and make backups of your current setup.

2. Ra is also a custom recovery. I prefer it over CWM. In the old days, if I remember correctly, RA backed up your wimax keys while CWM didn't. Also it was rumored that CWM didn't wipe correctly. Now I think they're pretty much the same. I just like the yellow words over the horrible green that CWM uses.

3. It may have been reverted because of the differences between the partitions on different evos.

4. CWM makes nandroid backups too. They both backup everything. A nandroid backup will back up everything on your phone. It is highly recommended to make a nandroid before you flash anything onto your phone. If it breaks something or bootloops your phone then you can restore that backup and go back to how you were.

5. The nand backs up the phone, the nand+ext backs up the phone and the ext partition on your sd card where your apps are installed.

6. The ext partition is on your sdcard. (IMO) No need for apps2sd unless you have a crazy amount of apps on your phone or you have a bunch of huge games.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Clockwork is a recovery. It does many different things ex. Flashing, Wiping, Partitioning etc.

RA use to be the only one to back up wimax now clockwork has this feature and with RA you was not able to navigate through folders like clockwork but now you can with the new update.

I'm not sure about the 3rd question.

A nandroid is backing up your entire phone so that you can restore if you run into any problems it backs up everything except your splashscreen or ext partition unless you choose to back that up. RA & Clockwork can perform a nandroid Clockwork didn't have the ability to backup wimax keys(4g).

Nand is everything except your partition you use the ext if you use darktremor a2sd it backs up everything and your partition.

Only repartition if you want to install apps to sd, cache, or dalvik to your sd card saves internal space on the phone.

Hope I helped
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Buff nailed it great, I'll explain #3.

Clockworkmod team jumped the gun with their 3.0 recoveries betting that all the developers had switched to the newer edify scripts which appeared with Froyo and are required to script a Gigngerbread rom. The older scripting used ammend which is what 90% of the developers are still using. This made the 3.0 based recovery incompatible with 90% of the roms out there so Cloockwork team had to come up with a backward compatible release and numbered it 2.6.01. This is the version you need unless you are going to install the CM7 roms. 2.6.0.1 is compatible with all hboots, all partitions, and backs up and wipes everything Aman RA does so they are pretty much equal. The difference is if you flash the clockworkmod recovery all the features of rom manager will still work, if you flash aman ra, rom manager is useless.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucf.elk:
So then at this stage is one better than the other?

I'm still new to "daily" ROM flashing and liked the ROM Manager but heard that RA was better (have that now)

I'd like the ease of switching between ROMs to figure out likes/dislikes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
About the same now. I actually prefer coming here and reading threads and manually downloading and flashing my roms over rom manager. I like to see screenies and see changelogs and read feedback.
