[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
While I believe you about higher HBOOT being ok for earlier versions I would feel safer having a copy of my current HBOOT as a flashable zip. Is it possible to revert simply by flashing a zip and does anyone know of a link to the older HBOOT?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Just so I know what you are trying to accomplish: why would you ever want to downgrade? Most Nexus One's now should have the 0.35 HBOOT (some came with it out of the box, most got updated with the latest OTA package, and some upgraded manually). The version of HBOOT you have doesn't make any difference, aside from one: the newer HBOOT is larger than the older one. Basically it takes some space away from the recovery partition and adds it to the misc (HBOOT) partition. Some recoveries (like Amon_RA 2.0) are quite large and may not fit in the recovery partition if you are on the latest HBOOT, however, Amon_RA's latest recover is smaller, and fits no problem. Aside from that, there is no real differences between the two HBOOTs, and no reason to ever downgrade. And besides, word on the street is that 0.35 will be a prerequisite from installing OTA Gingerbread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The new HBOOT isn't larger, it adds space to BOOT partition, not HBOOT. This allows to overcome a problem some Nexus Ones have - if a bad sector is present in BOOT partition, some kernels would fail to flash on the older HBOOT - not having enough space to write boot.img. New HBOOT solves it by making the recovery smaller and adding the space to BOOT partition instead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelol:
The link to that HBOOT ZIP is broken...anyone have an updated link ?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedy350z:
I just watched a mashable video about the streak 7 and a program to make your living room wireless. Is it possible when the streak 7 comes out or the rom is captured that the streak 5 owners can get this as well?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3ozBBB8dyc

seems like a really cool app.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogiewun:
nice! i would also like to know if this would be available for us mini 5 owners.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickshertzer:
Impressive enough. However, you can already do this. Search for a free app called Unified Remote.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedy350z:
Thanks i downloaded it to check it out. I like the GUI on the Dell one though. The rom hasnt been leaked yet I believe but it would be interesting if this could be stripped from it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickshertzer:
Maybe Dell will just play nice and give up the apk?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan2202:
Im an EVO guy with Sprint but my wife is on Verizon and currently on an old ass Blackberry Curve. Im trying to get her into the Android world, but like most chicks she is considering an IPhone now that they are going to be rolled out on Verizon. I know all about the IPhone, but nothing about the Incredible or other Android phones offered by Verizon (since Im on Sprint). I assume all or most of the good stuff (solid stable roms, tweaks, etc) available for the EVO are available for the Incredible as well?

Can you give me some pros and cons for the Incredible? Any issues with things like the screen, speakers, voice quality, battery life, or other quirkiness to know about? I did a few searches but didnt really find what I was looking for. Enlighten me. TIA
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
They only thing I complained about when I got my Incredible was the battery life. But then I rooted, flashed a cutom (Redemtion Rom 2.2) and Kernel (12/21 Incredikernal) and now nothing will make want to get a new phone. Fast as hell and does damn near everything you want it to do! Go with the Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paperecho:
There is no reason not to get an incredible. It is a great phone once you get an extended battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remy2501:
dude for your old lady.. get the incredible. or the thunderbolt.. there really is no reason not to get the phone.. everything is good..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
There is one main reason not to get the Incredible. Thunderbolt. IF this doesn't get you to wait. Incredible is the best phone Verizon offers. The Icrap is a mistake and sucks that we are sufficing the NE2 because of crapple.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yodes:
If she wants the iPhone just get her the iPhone. I went through this same thing with my GF who was on AT&T. She had a blackberry and wanted the iPhone. I convinced her that Android was better and to switch to Verizon once her contract was up. All she does is complain about how she hates her phone (incredible like me). She already had it made up in her mind that the iPhone was superior and nothing was going to change that. Much like that Evo vs iPhone video that came out a few months back. No matter what you say it'll just be, "I don't care I want an iPhone"

It's the sad truth but once someone is set on an iPhone it's nearly impossible to break that. I'm now going to get slammed with having to buy an iPhone outright for my girlfriend so that she can get off android :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patsfan1130:
My wife has an iPhone and she loves it. I've tried to turn her on to android but she won't hear of it. She's not a geek like me...she uses it for texts and calls with a bit of web browsing. A true smartphone is a waste on her regardless. She likes her iPhone and my Titanic dislike for it doesn't sway her in the least. Keep her happy...get her an iPhone now cuz you'll only be getting her one after you waste money on something else first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
I'm interested in the replies to the OP as well. I currently have an Evo also and have only run CM on it from day 1, but as much as I'd hate to lose a whole 0.6" of screen I get horrible service at work (we have a Verizon tower in the casino though!) and only 1 bar at home, so I'm thinking of switching to the Incredible since it's mostly (please don't flame me, I said mostly) a smaller Evo hardware-wise minus 4G and front camera of which I never use either one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMBosstones86:
ONLY complaint i have is the battery. Don't really want to HAVE to buy an extended battery to use the device as it should. HTC skimped on the bat

other than that, love it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan2202:
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. Thanks for everyone's opinion. At least I tried lol. If nothing else I learned a few things about a few other Android phones, especially some of those units coming out on Verizon soon. Hell of a line-up they are going to have. My EVO days could be numbered but I dont know if I could drop Sprint after about 15 yrs of service.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crizznaig:
from my understanding anyone looking to switch to verizon and thinking about getting an incredible... just wait for thunderbolt.. it's the EVO but for verizon....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
It pretty much is, in the same way that the Thinderbolt is the Verizon EVO.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
I agree with a few here... if your girlfriend wants and iphone you get her an iphone.

[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Any idea what this means? Never seen it before and I don't see it in the manual.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
According to this HD2 thread you should try a battery pull
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
With my evo it meant it was overheated and needed to cool down and sometimes a battery pull to reset it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
Evo's overheated? Wow. Were you o/c'ing?
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
No. That's Florida in the summer. Hot as balls. The heat of charging while driving with no AC really pissed off the evo.

I installed 4.1 today and when I plug the phone in to the computer it doesn't give me the option to mount it.

The computer finds the phone but will not read from it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Are you using a generic usb cable or the one that came with your Eris.

When I use a generic usb cable, 95% of the time I can see the phone install but it is completely unaccessible as a drive. This happens with every rom including the htc stock 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

I've never had a problem mounting my phone with my monoprice or ebay usb cables. I was about to flash celbfroyo 4.1 though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] amfetamine:
What OS are you using?

When you say the computer finds the phone, is that just a notification? Or is it listed with your drives or your devices? Does the phone recognize that it was USB connected in your notification shade?
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I am running CELB 4.1. I just connected using a cable I have used before for this. Two notifications were added - one telling me that USB debugging is connected, and another telling me that "USB is connected - Select to copy files to/from your computer". Tapping that notification brings up the USB connected screen, with a button to turn on USB storage. Tapping the button mounts the SD card to my computer.

This is pretty much the way that CELB has always worked for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] maddog1500:
Thanks Doogald

Must have missed seeing that when I plugged it in.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kasaweb:
Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way (maybe a kernel patch) to reduce the time the screen remains on, when we try to unlock the phone.

I frequently push the power button just to see the current time, so I only need the screen to remain on for 2 seconds, instead of the default 6.

It will save battery and avoid loosing the unlock button by pressing it too many times.

I searched on this forums and on the net and found nothing.

Thank you

[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
I don't see a point to having 900 different ROMs...unless the devs are coming up with **** that's not been done yet, all I can see that could possibly be different is the applications, themes, etc. that they include in the ROM.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbourg87:
I have tried many times to flash to new rom and cannot get it to go into cwm. I have been going through many posts and tried many different ways. I did flash back to stock using ODIN and that puts froyo 2.2 on my phone so i dont know if that has something to do with flashing to another rom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If you flashed back to stock then it would not be 2.2 it should be 2.1. 2.2 will not allow for unsighned files to be loaded up. Flash to 2.1 and then grab one of the CWM update.zips floating around and you will be good to go.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbourg87:
Odin3Excution V1.00

Model: SGH-I897

Yes can use 3 button combo

Where is the build number?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok so you have the ATT version. The build number is under the battery it will be something like 1008, 1009 ext. Make sure it is not a 1010 model as I hear those have something changed in them. The odin you are looking for is the odin one click (jf6 I think). That will take you to 2.1 eclair. there is no stock 2.2 for the ATT captivate as they have not released it yet. Grab that odin and flash to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbourg87:
Build number is 1008
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok some of those dont have the 3 button combo by default so be careful. Mine is the same build but has the combo.

Alright, you all are amazing. I have a nootered nookcolor running launcherpro, and all of your help has been so appreciated. I am now at a wall. I did not use super or autonooter so I am comfortable in terminal. I have a few apps I bought and want to install to my nook.

I used titanium backup, and no matter what I do, it seems I need market to get them to work properly on my Nook.

I have tried:

adb (and throwing them into the system/app folder)

titanium backup (I installed SU titanium and busybox)

and root explorer.

The apps are...

Docs to go (full version key) says key is outdated

Gottodo (says it is not licensed)

sketchbook mobile (please ensure you are connected to a network and try again:Error code:UNKOWN) I am.

I am trying to keep my install as lightweight as possible so I avoided autonooter, but I may have to actually install the market. Arggghh

So, after all this help, does anyone have any ideas?

-Bought mytouch brand new with T-Mobile

-Flashed clockwork mod and rooted previously successfully creating a gold card, recovery, and flashing ROMs

-Factory reset for clean wipe and froze

-I could get into hboot and fastboot no problem and even get my computer to recognize the device

-A "friend" tried his luck and gave it back to me resulting in the bootup screen being Rogers and unable to be recognized by my computer

-I can still flash SAPPIMG however results in "Main Version is Older" update failed. From the tutorials I read I needed to create the gold card. I did that after formatting fat32 with a kensington 2GB card.

-I have tried to flash the Engineering SAPPIMG also, but it gives me the same response.

As of now I still have access on the phone to hboot and fastboot but am stuck as to how to get the phone to take an update file.

Help! Please!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
So you've got the myTouch with the 3.5mm jack, correct? If so, go smack your "friend" for being an idiot and tell him to be glad he didn't brick your phone. If your getting "Main Version is Older" there's something up with your goldcard. You don't have the goldcard you created when you originally rooted?

At either rate, once you get your goldcard squared away, just use my guide to essentially re-root, but in your case get your phone fixed too. Here's my guide to follow. Since you already know how to flash ROM's and such, you of course can opt out of installing CM 6.1 and use whatever ROM you want. Just use the guide up to step #9.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
DonJuan, are you sure the goldcard fixes the Main version is older problem? I thought it only fools hboot into thinking you have SuperCID (can install ROMs for any region).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
AFAIK, it's suppose to also force the phone to bypass the version check as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] supamas:
Thank you for the quick response. I thought that I had the gold card equipped. I used the goldcard.img from when I had previously made a gold card with the same phone and memory card so I assumed that nothing would have changed. I opened the HEX editor and changed the lines 00 to 170 with the gold card image and saved it.

With my phone being the way it is, would the gold card have changed at all? Or is it device specific?

I'm going through the process carefully this time to make sure I do it right. I appreciate it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Sounds like your good. The goldcard.img is specific to the SD card, so as long as its the same one you should be good.
