i Copy contents of copytosdroot folder to the root of my sd.then i boot into magldr and go into USB Flasher whilst still connected to my laptop,Run DAF,when thats done i again boot into magldr and tap Boot AD SD but it keep failing to go into Clockwork,i keep getting soming like k:Music/zimage not found or failed to load kernal even tho ive fully formated my sd,its really anoying,i cant try out any new roms exept nand,Really frustrating
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Uvaavu:
I had problems running like this initially - what worked was putting the 'copytosd' files in a folder on the SD Card (I used 'ADSD'), then changing the Boot AD SD folder option in the Settings menu to that new folder ('ADSD').

Then try using 'Boot AD SD' option.

For some reason it did not like the root folder initially (though it now seems to work fine).

Use Panasonic SD Card formatter & re format the SD card & try again, I had the same issues but now its resolved..!!! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] waspsl:
Guys,

Mine works as well so not a UK issue

Did you follow the instructions using DAF and indicated that it was successful but when you try to 1: boot from sd nothing happens or it flashes and returns to the MAGLDR screen?

I had an issue with the root folder as well, create a folder \recovery and copy the 2 root files intrid.gz and zimage to the \recovery and goto services and change the boot to folder to \recovery.

Important reboot before trying as MAGLDR does not change the folder until after a reboot.

Boot from SD and should be OK

Or at least was for me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nokn956120:
Now Nand has came out it has inspired a lot to create their own Android builds and new chefs make mistakes. Not trying to blame chefs in general but some do make mistakes.

Also when we used to load up the builds from SD card, I would say 8 times out of 10 I would use a data.img which hasnt been used before. Now if you go from a Sense build to a non-Sense build, and you are using a data.img in app2sd, then they are not properly matched so a-b might go to a-c and miss b out if you know what I mean. What I do is use a data.img for Sense, another for Sense HD/Z, another one for Gingerbread and another for Miui and these are on my Desktop. When I load up a different builds like Sense to Miui, then I will move the data.img from .data or data2sd folder off the memory card and then overwrite the data.img I have on the Desktop for Sense and replace it for my Miui data.img.

I know it sounds tedious but I found it to help.

Also for the new App2SD+, I create the partition using ClockWorkMod instead of another application. I will use Partition Wizard for Windows to delete a partition and resize the fat32 partition back to the full use of the memory card but always partition and create EXT3 partition using ClockWorkMod.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] despy1989:
i have a slightly different problem: I can boot into clockwork recovery after copying the copy-to-sd files and use it as a partitioning tool. But cant actually complete the installation as I keep getting errors when i run the DAF file from CWM folder in USB flasher option of MAGDLR, so cant actually use it for recovery !!!! :(

Say I want to do the following:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/epub");

At the moment I'm having a tough time finding an app out there that has a filter setup for epub, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas.

My intent is to load an epub file in an external application, which will be initiated from mine. Tried using Aldiko, but it doesn't seem to have any filters setup for this.

Does anybody know if there is a known ROM (i.e. Cyanogen MOD) that works with the LG Vortex
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zorachus:
I have finally found my love :). The Case-Mate Tough case is hands down my favorite so far. The cases I have tried already, are;

- Body Glove case I bought the same time I picked up the EVO in the Summer, it looked so bad ass Sci/Fi cool in the box, but we all know this case blows, it cracks way too easy, and the plastic feel is not comfortable against face and too slippery, this case sucks.

- Otterbox - Commuter, I thought the quality was pretty good, but it was a very bulky and heavy case, and the back plastic not a good feel for holding the phone, too slick. The kickstand access is too tight, and phone wobbles when using it. Overall not impressed with the Commuter.

- Otterbox - Impact, my Brother has this case, and it feels great in the hand, and looks pretty good too, but can get a little lose around the sides of the phone, and is bulky. But I like this case #2, it feels good, and looks good, just a tad too thick.

- Case-Mate Tough, this is it baby :) This is easily, the best case of the ones I have tried. I was surprised at the slimness of this case for it being it a 2pc protection case, it is thinner than the Commuter + Impact, and my God the feel of the case is just perfect, I couldn't let go of the phone last night, it just feels so good in the hand, not slippery at all, but not too sticky either, just right. And it looks very professional, and just perfect. And great kickstand access. This case will really protect your phone well, but also look great, feel great, and is not crazy bulky/thick like other protection cases. Highly recommended.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
Well based on your review im gonna pick one up since sedio will not rma my active case even though they re designed it, buncha assholes

[EVO 4G Accessories] wmdunn:
Here you go ...

Reviews, photos, even a video. I've had this case for a couple of months, and it is as good as the OP stated. I also had the Seidio "Active" case, which began to come apart in just a few weeks, and tried the Otterbox "Impact", which is a lint magnet. The Tough Case is a keeper.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Zorachus:
Thanks for the link, I forgot to post those official pictures.

The best thing about this case, is the feel. It just fits in the hand so nicely, and just feels great.

Yeah it is one of those "thicker" cases, but with the protection it delivers, it is one of the thinnest of the thick cases, if that makes sense. Meaning the Otterbox and other dual layer heavy duty cases, this is the slimmest in that category.

Now if you want, super model, waif thin, Case-Mate also makes a really pretty case, the "Barely There Case", I plan to buy this too, and just use on the weekends, or when going out to dinner or black tie event :)

[EVO 4G Accessories] wmdunn:
I have one of the "Barely There" cases as well, and you are right ... it is very elegant ... really feels like there isn't a case on at all. It covers the back (especially the camera lens) and all four corners ... and is very nice for those who keep there phone in their pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gqukyo:
My first Active case had the outer layer peeling so I RMA'd it and they sent me a replacement one which was much much better than the original one I had, even the silicone part was better. Less prone to picking up dust. Though for the price I probably would've just gotten the Tough case especially since it's only 20 bones on newegg... but I don't believe it was out when I ordered the Seidio one... =T
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zorachus:
Having this Tough case most of the week now I am in love :) Mainly due to the feel in hand, this case has the best materials for holding the phone comfortably, it just sits in your hand perfectly with not being too slippery nor too rubber sticky, it is just right. I can't put the phone down it is too sexy with this case.

well i ordered 2 cases...

The casemate and the new sedio active hybrid....we will see which one sucks less then one is going back
[EVO 4G Accessories] TigerBait1127:
Would you say it is worth replacing the Otterbox with the Case-mate or are they pretty comparable?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zorachus:
I had the Otterbox Commuter for a week, was not happy with it, it felt too plasticy, and slick, and was very thick/bulging case. I went into to Sprint store to check on some stuff, and the guy there had the Case Mate Tough on his EVO, I was like, wow that is cool looking, and looked to be a bit thinner than my Otterbox.

Bought it on the spot, and wow instant love, the feel of the case it what gets me, it just feels soooooo nice in your hand, and the back has a cool design, and the best kickstand cutout of any case I have seen. The Otterbox will never be back on my phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Case is adds too much thickness to the EVO....
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zorachus:
I agree, it does, but it feels so nice in the hand, and offer great protection. I wish the case was thinner, but that would be impossible with the nice cushion it has.

What case do you like ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
I don't like the camera area on the case mate, ill stick with the commuter aka best evo case on the market :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zorachus:
Has anyone else tried this awesome case out yet ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
Well I had the sedio active (now named the active X)

I ordered the new sedio active x (hybrid) from here on reffered to as "the x" and the case mate from here on reffered to as the "CM"

Ill tell you this they are damn near identical. They both have a rubbery type feel to the plastic piece that wraps around the silicon case. There is no actual plastic that touches your phone its silicon with a plastic over wrap. The cm has more texure to its plastic outer shell than the X

They fit the phone about the same the volume and power I think are easier to hit on the x vs the cm

the pricing is about the same but the cm comes with a static type screen protector, cloth and application card. The x comes with nothing.

The x comes in a myriad of colors and holsters are availaible. the cm comes in two colors and there does not appear to be any type of holster availaible, however the cases are so close Id bet to say the sedio one would fit

cm offers a 90 day warranty (3 month)

x offers a 180 day warranty (6 month)

sedio generally has pretty good customer service (except in my case)

case-mate had been in business a zillion years

I think with everything being as it is, I have to say Id prolly go with the x

its not that the cm isnt a great case because it is, im going simply based off the accessory options and the warranty.

however with that being said....I should go with the cm because im mad at sedio now.

US Cellular Tab Question

I have the same question. I have a Tab for the US Cellular network. It says it's an SCH-i800 for CDMA. Isn't that the same model as the Verizon? Would "stuff" for Verizon work on this Tab??

Thanks for listening!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevieraveon:
Ugh, I thought I'd read enough before going today to buy a used US Cellular tab from someone (I'm only using it in WIFI mode, have no need for data connection). Got rooted fine via z4Root but now don't know what else I can do.

I flashed ClockworkMod for Verizon as saw another post that said since both CDMA should work. It flashed but when boot into recovery goes into normal Samsung recovery.

Is rooting as far as you can get w/ US Cellular or can I flash ROMs somehow?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3luSi0n4L:
I'm not sure if this is the same as the Samsung Transform, but when I flashed a custom recovery, you have to make it stick somehow, i believe by flashing a custom rom. I'm not 100% so keep reading around the forums but thats how I had to do it for the Samsung Transform.

Sincerely,

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ilendemli:
when i put my phone on no sound mode, there is no sound, thats logical.

i mean, where the bootanimation is, there is a black screen for about 5 seconds (bootsound length) and i want that it should go direct to the android boot logo you ported from the sdk emu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] salonluden:
Ok, so here are the boot screens and splash screens that I made. The GIF file should be named animated.gif in the windows folder (on some custom ROMs it is removed - enable through BSB tweaks or a registry editor or just select the file using Advanced Configuration Tool) The pngs should be named welcomehead.192.png and welcomehead.png (just double the file and rename) and placed in the windows folder or just select the files in Advanced Configuration Tool.

I recommend using Advanced Configuration Tool to set up and select - it is really simple! (Make sure the files are saved on the device!)

Here are the pictures (just right click and click save as to save them):

Animated Boot Screens: (Don't worry both boot screens stop for a second at the end - so in the second one you can actually read HTC HD2: Quietly Brilliant)

Splash Screens: (Depending on if you use / like android or not)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskwith:
Two quick questions about the insurance terms an conditions.

1. If you report it stolen or lost or whatever, do they send you a brand new phone after you pay the deductible or is it a refurbbed one?

2. If report it lost and order a new one, and you find the lost one(or you never actually lost it) do they deactivate the original one somehow?..or track it somehow?....or do they just accept your deductible and let you do whatever you want with them?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Fanatic:
They send you what they have in stock at the moment. The longer a phone has been out the more likely you are to get a refurbished one.

The insurance company can't track it or do anything with it, you can do what you want with it and T-mobile won't care.

I advise reporting it lost, if you say it's stolen you have to submit to them a police report.

Good luck, let us know your results.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskwith:
Thank you. Helpful information. Have you personally reported lost phone before?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
I'm not sure but I'd be surprised if T-Mobile didn't blacklist lost /stolen phones.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Fanatic:
I have not personally, but I worked at T-mobile up until a couple of weeks ago.

Your insurance isn't through t-mobile, so they don't care if you now have another one all of the sudden. Your insurance will only allow two phone replacements in a year because they can't actually blacklist or stop the phones.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk337sk337:
Wrong! The phones can be blacklisted. Honestly if you do find its best to report it BC if you start using that old one or sell it then asurion can and will prosecute for insurance fraud.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyendqh:
I just have a question, cause I'd like people to be clear about what they're saying.

How would Ausrion even know if you sold it?

I mean, I could understand you finding the phone and using it again..cause maybe that could be tracked. (Maybe.)

But what could be done about selling it? That makes no sense.

Unless you try to sell it by posting "Selling my supposedly lost phone" on the TMobile forums.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
I am not sure what they actually do, but in theory it's pretty easy.

You claim the phone is lost

TMobile blacklists the phone's IMEI

Someone tries to register the phone on the TMobile network

TMobile and/or Asurion go after the account holder for the associated SIM

They show they bought it from you

No profit
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyendqh:
The phone can be unlocked to use on any provider.

So...wouldn't selling it as an unlocked phone give you a better chance?

And you could sell it to a friend and have them say they bought it from off the internet or at a pawn shop or anything.

I just don't think it's that precise. (Who knows maybe it is.)

Anyway. I'm not trying to prove there's ways around it. I just wanted to understand the statement better.

And is blacklisting a phone's IMEI a new thing? Cause I've had phones stolen in the past that ended being in use by other people. Nothing ever happened there. (And I know that because I found out who stole the phone.)

*Just curious by the way, not trying to start a heated conversation or anything.

Thank for the info!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
The insurance companies are NOT as dumb as you think they are. Insurance fraud is a booming business and companies are always looking to minimize their losses against fraud.

I know this because one of my specialty fields includes loss prevention and fraud. They can and will blacklist your IMEI number and despite your noble efforts to sell to a friend who magically ends up buying that very same phone off craigslist [unbeknownst to you :rolleyes::rolleyes:] will get you in trouble.

Do the smart thing and heed the advice given here by people who know. Don't try to fool businesses or people who have been around the block way longer than your ingenious plan of trying to net an extra phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moto211:
I'm not advocating fraud, but last time I checked the two big US GSM providers (AT&T and T-Mobile) don't utilize an IMEI blacklist. I checked because I had a phone stolen from me and I asked T-Mobile to blacklist the IMEI and they told me that they can't (or won't) do that. They said the best they could do was deactivate the SIM card to prevent the thief from running up my bill. After doing some digging, I discovered reports of many AT&T customers with the same experience.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthulion:
that is absolutely true. USA gsm carriers have 0 interest in blacklisting for obvious reasons = more money in their pocket. You get to buy a new phone for more money and whoever steals/find the phone gets to pay the company even more money.

I have no idea what insurance companies will do, though, but I've reported a lost phone, which I'm sure someone is still using, got a replacement and never heard word of it being tracked down or something.

Best advice I have is call assurion and ask if, in case your phone gets lost, if they'll do anything to retrieve it. My guess would be a resounding NO unless you have a police report, a subpoena and a lot of time to waste on this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keverline:
They don't blacklist IMEI's. I've worked for T-mo customer support as well as a third party retailer. We get this question all the time from customers who have had their phone stolen and want to try and track it down. The answer is always no. To assuage those who will say they just won't do it for customers: When I sold T-mo phones, our store was robbed. We tryed to get the IMEI's blocked and they said that it couldn't be done. For the icing on the cake, my ex-wife has been using my Behold that was reported lost (then subsequently found 7 months later in my winter coat) for over a year with no problems or lawsuits. I still wouldn't recomend doing it just to get a cheapish phone ($7x24 month+$130 copay=$298 for a refurb) 'cus that's pretty shistery.
