[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chicago Ben:
Pre-question summary: I had an eris for about a year. Trackball took a ****, got a refurb at verizon yesterday and like a big idiot didn't even check to make sure the microphone worked before rooting? (how dumb am I?)

so here I am, on a rooted refurb with just the "eris21official-root.zip" running (not the leak)

1) I tried running the ruu but got the error 140 / bootloader version error

- ok , so I found that I need to follow jcase's flash any ruu steps here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726885&highlight=unroot

2) I get stuck like everyone else at point cmd promt 4 which attempts to flash the misc.img to the phone, I get a not found error, wtf!!!!! Am I supposed to be unzipping this misc.img.zip file or leaving as is? I feel like I have tried everything

3) I just tried running the last PB00IMG.zip (v3) through bootloader and got the error stating my current getup is newer than what I'm trying to 'update' it with

***my bootloader = HBOOT-1.49.0000

***error = Main Version is Older! Update Fail!

please help me

anybody

last thing, I am using the ruu from shipped-roms website

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Try reading the post a little further - jcase had a typo in his instructions which he never fixed. It was subsequently corrected in post # (lucky) 13

the original typo was

adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img

which should have been

adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc.img

As to the question about "img.zip" versus ".img", the answer is obvious from looking at the (now corrected) instructions - you push "misc.img" to /data/local/misc.img, not misc.img.zip to /data/local/misc.img.zip

bftb0

[ Edit ] PS: I just looked through that post ("HowTo: Flash Any Ruu") :o :) :D

What a friggen comedy of errors!

Poster #1 gives some almost correct instructions

Poster #13 tries to correct the fault in instructions given in #1, and in so doing, introduces a new mistake in the same line he corrected

Posters thereafter repeat different variations of #1 or #13 variously claiming $hit like "you need to keep trying it until it works".

LOL.

The correction that I gave above to line #4 should work. When you do an "adb shell" the current directory of the shell is "/", and

- "flash_image" is not in the shell's $PATH

- misc.img is not stored at /misc.img - it is not in the current directory (namely, "/")

So, you need to explicitly give the full path to both the program you are trying to execute ("flash_image"), as well as the full path of the file that program is supposed to read ("misc.img"), as in:

adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc.img

.

[G Tablet General] fasteddie58:
Is anti virus protection needed for g tablet? I saw AVG has a app for this and was wondering if viruses are a treat to the android tablets.

Thanks!

Ed
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Probably not yet. I read somewhere that the first Android virus had been seen but I don't think it is a big deal for now.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
The way Android (and Linux) are structured, you normally wouldn't need an anti-virus. A virus would need root permissions to be able to do much system damage. By default, users do not have root permissions, so this would not normally be a concern. Where as in windows, everybody has administrative (root) permissions, and viruses have a field day.

That being said, the first thing most of us do is root the tablet. This could provide an easy access route for any virus or RootKit. I wonder if our tablets would work as well if we only temporarily rooted them.
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
Right now they are not needed, but I'm one who doesn't see the harm in having one. I use Lookout on my phone mainly for the gps locating feature.
[G Tablet General] Ronin916:
Agreed. My thought process is that it's better to have something in place before you actually need it. No harm done by running AV now, especially if you root.
[G Tablet General] Virtual Pariah:
Wouldn't av degrade the performance of the Tablet?

Seems like for now, were still at the making things run reliably stage. I'd be afraid that AV would break something else.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
That is a very legitimate concern. With the low resources that most Android tablets have, an anti-virus app could significantly affect performance. I know that they did in Windows (when I used to use Windows).
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I use Lookout. It works fine... at least it leads you to believe it does. I am ready to spring for the pro version where they claim you can wipe the tablet if it is lost or stolen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krntehknik303:
Okay, so my friend accidently flashed a captivate rom onto the vibrant... and almost bricked his phone.. only a soft brick... My question is how do I remove the At&t quick load up? seems that is the only thing that won't go away. The thing that I have tried for my friend is Odin back to stock, but that doesn't delete anything. should I try unrooting and re-rooting??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
bootanimation.zip? system/media

unless they use .qmg then its just a matter of pulling the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files from a rom and replacing them. Same for a bootanimation.zip
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krntehknik303:
Where would I find that bootanimation? From the original rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
I think there is a flashable version of JFD. You can dl it to your pc and use winrar to extract it.

bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg are in the system/media folder and the same place on the phone.

You have to be rooted then just use Astro file manager or root explorer to delete those files on the phone, copy the extracted ones to your phone from your pc and move them to system/media.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
All of the information in this thread is incorrect. Yes, the samsungboot.qmg files are the stock boot animation, these files will not fix the initial ATT World Phone Logo.

You will need to flash the Vibrant SBL.bin located here:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Recently flash a new rom (done many before) and after rebooting the phone just vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green. It does this going into recovery or normal boot. I can boot into hboot. I updated with latest RUU and it flashed successfully, still does same thing, cant get in recovery or normal, only hboot. Now heres weird thing, I was s-off and now I'm s-on. Soon as i went into hboot to apply ruu i noticed it.

So any thoughts on helping me? Thanks for any help you can give.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Have you pulled the battery and tried turning your phone on? I think this is some sort of diagnostic mode that you're in.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
If it were me, think I'd try to run unrevoked3 to make sure I had a good recovery in place, then run unrevoked forever again to get back to s-off. Then flash another ROM.

But that's just me. I'm not a dev. So proceed at your own risk. I'd check some of the precautions on the unrevoked website to be sure I had compatible hboot and radio versions.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Phone wont boot into recovery so I can't flash any roms. I had phone s-off with unrevoked forever but somehow it went back to s-on. I never ran the s-on update. I did reflash the stock RUU 2.2 and it still wont boot. Flashed fine but goes to black screen after the splash screen and just vibrates and greed led blinks.

Does the same thing trying to get into recovery. I can only get into hboot.

You can download a new recovery image at the link below. The link is in the third or fourth post.

Rename it to PB31IMG.zip so you can load thru hboot.

I've got an AMOLED screen so the regular recovery works fine. But since I'm not s-off anymore I don't think I can flash a recovery. I tried the 2.5.0.5 on crack one. I was using 2.5.1.2 before.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
I think you only need root to flash a signed recovery image. S-off allows you to flash unsigned images.

The original unrevoked tool just gave us root and recovery, right? Wonder if you can run unrevoked while the phone is at the hboot screen? Maybe you can pm one of the unrevoked devs.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I've had this problem with two phones now... The only savior is to flash s-on while still rooted. Then run the pb31img.zip of the most recent ruu since it is signed you can use it with s-on and you'll be stock, and call for a replacement, you'll get amoled since you bought it with it. I've gone through 7 lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Well think I figured it out. Turned it on with the usb-data connected and it booted fine. Pulled usb cable and it rebooted. Testing further it went to a black screen with the 5 vibrates when pulling the usb once. Looks like the usb port is fried.

It boots fine if you dont hookup the usb cable now.

this same thing happened to me twice.. you can sometimes even get it to fully boot and pull power cord and sue the phone, if your lucky. mine was a three vibrate though not 5

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealtorRod:
So here I am, 5 yrs a RIM BB client, now holding in my hand a beautiful device called the dell streak. When I was with BB, I always had the most up to date firmware, months before Telus would drop them. I modded my system first to look like an iphone and then to look 'androidy' and 'linuxy'...

well, now I begin my search to perfect this device. I have a few questions and I hope I don't offend the 'experts' as a noob but I have an unlocked Streak running Froyo. While playing with it I have noticed that the page that is set as my home page when I click my home button is a series of apps recently opened. I would much rather have this be set to programs that do not refresh, call it my top 10 list.

I would also like to view, add and test themes, skins etc... that add more functionality to this phablet, tabone, or whatever the word is for this giant AND AWESOME device.

I want to create backgrounds with my daughter, my bike, my logo all my things...

I have tried to go through the 'settings' but honestly, it seems really limited.

I have read around the forums here, but most of this stuff seems advanced (which I will get to) but is there a noob guide somewhere?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
The apps list you describe sounds like a Stage widget. Long press on it and it will change shape and a trash can will appear, without letting up on it drag it to the trash can. That's how you remove the stuff you don't want to make room for what you do. Some not Streak specific info.

You can add shortcuts and widgets to an empty area of a screen by holding your finger on that area until a menu pops up.

You can also put a shortcut to an app on the screen by opening the app tray and long pressing on the app icon you want on the screen. The app tray will disappear and you can drop the icon where you want.

When in doubt tap the menu key again. There may be another layer of options.

The Home key takes you back to the home screen from an app, but in some apps what happens in the background is different than what happens if you leave the app by pressing the back key. Leaving with the home key usually means that when you go back to the app you'll be at the same place.

Long pressing the Home key brings up a list of recently used apps. You can use this to quickly switch between apps or to get back to an app after a phone call or other activity.

A home replacement app changes the way your phone looks and the way you interact with it. The two favorites for the Streak are LauncherPro and ADW launcher.

to set wallpapers all you need to do is transfer or take a picture of your daughter or bike etc and go into your menu, gallery, open the image then click on menu and Set As wallpaper

i prefer to call my streak perfection because it does everythign i ever wanted and more
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbone:
if you have the ADW launcher you can download some themes from the android market you might be able to find more on the web using google not 100% sure if the dell UI does themes yet

the launcher pro for ssome of its features you have to pay so i dont really use that one myself
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krad:
I suggest launcherpro

I have mine set so when I hit home, it opens apparently drawer and in apparently drawer I hit home it goes back to default home screen.

Also like it because you can have 5 shortcuts and make them also a swipe gesture to do something else.. making them 10 items....

Example....

Normal click- direct dial wife cell phone

Swipe- direct dial wife work phone

You can have multiple docks as well by swiping.

Other recommendation is to download and install dialer one..

That has a t9 dial keys which guesses your contact list.. kinda like the bb

Same thing happened to me. Immediately after I called *228, and did the press Menu to get the keypad up and hit 2 and that time it took the proper length of time and I guess it worked, I'm on that PRL - but I didn't pay attention what PRL I was on before.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
mine and my wife's updated to 52169. we are in sc. i think i have read before it does depend on where you live.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Probably also depends on the subscriber's plan as well, now that I give it a little more thought.

After I made my prior post above, I did a nandroid restore of a stock 2.1 ROM, and did both a *228 option 2, and a *22899. Same result - 52167. (I can't get the dialpad to come up in CELB4.1 when dialing *228; perversely, it does come up if you dial *22899... when it isn't needed, lol)

After you get the connection, press and hold menu when you dial *228 to get the dialpad.

I'm at 52169 as well here in snowy MA.

So please, anyone has a 1024 LEO and want to be a betatester send me a PM. I will send the link to the first 10 people. You will have to flash it and let me know if it works.

Be advised: since this is a beta test request, could happen also that you have to reflash back a supposed working version after a couple of hours.. so I need people that will not give up after a one not working flash.
