I'm leaving in a few months for another carrier as well.

For me

:

Sprint has terrible coverage both at home and at work (they had to install hardware just to get sprint to work out here when our company signed with them). But hey, it was cheap and %23 company discount. It can't be THAT bad right? I think even now the company wants out.

Price was nice until they axed employee discounts on extended lines (+$20 a month in bill, should have bailed back then but didn't)

Phones. Still no pure/near pure AOSP Android phones. All have custom bloatware on top (HTC Sense, Samsung whatever they call it). Sure I can root MY phone, but I have 4 lines... i'm not going to root them all and hear later that something doesn't work etc, please fix.

+$10 4G 'premium data' charge/line. I'm complaining about this 'just cuz' fee, and I (supposedly) do have 4g coverage at home.

T-mobile wasn't any better last time I had them, so it looks like I will have to get two lines on Verizon and push the other two to prepaid like Page Plus or another Verizon MVNO, or maybe Metro PCS.
[Hero CDMA General] Pyrot1c:
well for one sprints wimax isnt very good in my area, and t-mo's hspa+ is the strongest here. . I havent cancelled my sprint account . merely gave it to my brother. Im actually an employee for radioshack so i get to have my dealer lines on multiple carriers. So i figured for 20 bucks a month on t-mo i get my 4g access and such , while on sprint if i wanted the same id have to be paying 30 with a uglier phone. (imo the shift is pretty ugly) and no 4g access. So t-mo worked out better for me. But that doesnt mean everyone should switch to t-mo haha. Really depends on the situation

My personal favorite is Clockwork Mod Recovery. You can find the latest for our phone in the Andorid Development section, on the first page of the aospGBmod thread. Should be easy to find as it is right on top 99% of the time due to popularity.

I got it off of darch's website but it's been down as far as I know for a little while now.. Luckily I backed it up on my dropbox when I first downloaded it :D

I attached it so it'll be on XDA for everyone

Download the Darchstar_ra.zip and extract it onto the root of your sdcard.

Boot up into your rom

Open up terminal emulator and enter the following:

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
reboot

And yes, you can wipe data/cache, cache, davlik-cache, battery stats, and rotation settings in the wipe menu.

have you had any issues with wiping and flashing gingerbread because i didnt at first but lately it seems like its not a full wipe, then again im using a really old version of RA
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Thanx A lot Kyouko!!

I Downloaded It....

But I Wanted To Pick Your Brain A Bit, Before I Flashed It.... Lol!

As I'm Sure You Know,

*Rom Manager* Has The Option "Flash Alternate Recovery" Which Switches The Users Recovery From Clockwork, To Amon_Ra, Right?

So I Guess My Question To You Is, What's The Difference Between This Recovery & The Other Two?

Is There More Features??

Oh, One More Thing.... Sorry!!

I Have A **** Load Of Backups From *Rom Manager* Will The Still Be Compatible, Since I Made'em With Clockwork?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
That issue was fixed in the newer RA versions (which includes this one and godspeed) :)

There was a problem wiping with the older RA after the cache location got moved in newer rom versions or something along those lines

I'm not sure what the "flash alternate recovery" does because I only tried clockwork once and flashed over the recovery using terminal :p

As for features I took screens of each menu on the recovery

And I don't know what kind of backups rom manager does. If they're structured like nandroids it might work :confused: You may have to create a folder named "nandroid" and inside that folder create another and throw the backups in there. It'd be structured something like this:

/sdcard/nandroid/oldbackups/*folders go here*

And worst case scenario if they don't work but you really want all of them back you can just flash clockwork back to restore them.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Thanx For The Screenshots,

Now I'm Curious! And I Already Like The Way It Looks Better Than Clockwork! But To Be Honest Im A Little Nervous About Using ADB. Or Terminal Emulator!

Is It Easy/Hard?

I Heard You Can Brick Your Phone If You Enter A Command Wrong, Is That True?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
As long as you don't put "flash_image (BOOT or any other partition here)" you should be fine.

If you input it incorrectly it won't flash,

example: flashimage recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img

How to flash it via ADB:

adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
reboot
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
followed the code lines for terminal emu and adb both times got Flash_img: not found even tried entering Darchstar_ra.img same error
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Weird.. Do this for me, open up terminal emulator and type:

su
flash_image

you should get a return line saying:

usage: flash_image partition file.img

*see attached picture for example*

Make sure you're inputing it exactly the way I had it in the previous post - underscores and all. If the recovery.img name is different make sure whatever you type is exactly what the img is called.

If it's not in the /sdcard/ directory enter the correct one.

Example) /sdcard/downloads/oldrecovery.img

On my second attached picture you can see that the command worked, but since I already have that recovery flashed it aborts.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab

[Galaxy Tab General] Hanson68:
It's probably a bug with Touchwiz and froyo. If your app is installed on the SD card,(which happens automatically if the program has the api) the homescreen shortcut disappears after a reboot. My initial workaround was to move the apps back to phone, but I noticed that the problem went away when I installed LauncherPro. I suggest you install a different homescreen launcher as a fix. You're not going to miss anything from Touchwiz anyway.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
Im baffled by the lack of a one-click odin for the 1010 builds. Is it not possible to do? Im worried if I brick my replacement 1010 build, I wont be able to recover it.

I found a 20 step process to doing this, but was wondering if there is a far easier way I am missing?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I believe that samsung is responsible leaking and making the one-click odin. I think the only way we are getting a new one is if that happens again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatcat31:
You have to remember 1010 contains newer, different hardware. Using ooc will brick it. They need to release a new one especially for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
This is less than 20 steps: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

If it really bothers you, say it has random shutdown issues and have AT&T or the store you bought it from replace it. I had a batch 1010 phone with random shutdown issues, swapped for a newer batch 1009 phone without any issues (these batch numbers make no sense to me).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
Would your phone shutdown when plugged in or just anytime ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
1009 is newer than 1010?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
No. Boxes obviously sit on the shelf for undetermined amounts of time before they're sold, the 1009 may just have been aging longer. ;)

I'm at work right now, we have 6 brand new boxed captivates, and all of them are 1010.

Late edit; we also have 2 returns, which are both 1010. Both had rebooting problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
I have build 1010 and followed the mobiletech videos to a T. No problems at all using serendipity 2.0.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
Only when not plugged in. Captivate KeepAlive worked fine, but drained my battery too much.

Weird. The batch 1009 phone (according to Samsung's registration page) has a newer manufacturing date than the batch 1010 phone. It has a much higher IMEI number, and a newer screen revision (one of the smoother, warmer-looking screens as opposed to the grainy, blue-tinted ones).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
I stand corrected then. I've yet to see any of the 1009's out of the store though. We've had nothing but 1010's recently. Since I offer to flash over 2.2 when I sell the phones, it's really putting a lock on things not being able to flash back to stock easily.

is it possible to make a lockscreen and put it in like the android, epic, glass, lockscreen option????
[Galaxy Tab General] silky28:
hey,

I am trying to do the WPA suplicant file swap but I cannot get swap to stick. I paste the new file over the original but nothing changes. The file still reads Oct 14th when the new one should read nov 28.

The problem seems to be the inability to change mount r/o to mount r/w/. I can only click the Mount rab when I am in the first folder. As soon as I click on the System folder the Mount button greys out and does nothing.

When I try to delete the original WPA file it comes back as soon as I leave the folder, if I copy the new one over the old one the old one remains.

any ideas?

btw: sprint Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] webvan:
Exact same problem here, Root Explorer had served me well on other Android devices but this time, no go. There must be some extra protection on the tab, not sure how to defeat it...
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I presume you are rooted, and the Superuser app shows that Root Explorer has been granted root privileges?

Regards,

[Galaxy Tab General] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Thanks for for tip.

I have been experiencing the same problems with my Captivate...couldn't get Root Explorer to mount as R/W. Took a look at Superuser and sure enough Root Explorer was not being granted the permissions. So went into recovery and re-rooted and after reboot it was good to go...Root Explorer was listed as one of the apps in Superuser that had been granted permissions and I was able to mount as R/W.

I know that I have a Captivate and not a Galaxy Tab, but this is subject related and just wanted to share my learning experience and appreciation for the help from others even when searching outside of my device forum. :D
[Nook Color General] hamachiaddict:
hey guys, hopefully someone can help me.

I've successfully rooted my nook color, but I want to revert back to the factory state. There are instructions in nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM on how to do it. But I can't for the life of me, interrupt the boot eight times. At most it's only once and no matter what I do, on the second time around it shows the boot screen.

I tap the the power button, once I see the "future of reading" words, I hold on the power button and it blinks and show me the words again. Which is good right? Then I release and hold the pwr button again ( I tried keeping my finger holding it), both ways on the 2nd time it would show the splash screen.

What am I doing wrong? thanks!
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I'm a little confused by what you're describing, but you don't have to interrupt the first splash screen (touch the future...). Interrupting the "n" screen, and, I believe, the following boot animation will also do the trick. Unless you're bootlooping, just keep powering down before it boots all the way up, and it should restore.
[Nook Color General] nookroot:
or use this script here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879922
[Nook Color General] hamachiaddict:
Thanks for the replies guys! The reason I go with the script is cause I lost my microSD card and I can't boot off of it to run adb so I'm stuck using the manual method.

Maybe I'm mis-interpreting the instructions on nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM incorrectly ...

1. Power off the nook.

2. Tap the power button.

3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.

-If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count.

-If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset to zero. Start over.

Steps 1 and 2 I gots, thankfully :) For step 3, when do I press and hold the power button, when the words come up or when the "n" shows up? And when do I release and hold the power button again for the 2nd boot count?

thanks again!
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I think you're making it more complicated than it needs to be. As soon as you see it powering on, start powering it off. Repeat 8x. Unless you're bootlooping or did something crazy to your boot partition, it oughta work.
[Nook Color General] hamachiaddict:
Thanks wvcachi. But it is complicated!! :(

I'm having problems power it off, one the second time around, when I press and hold the power button, nothing happens and it boots all the way. I've tried different times hitting the power button, earlier, and all the time it boots through all the way.

maybe you can try and see if you can do it 3-4 times, and let me know when you start pressing the button and release for each iteration? I know it sounds stupid but seriously I can't get it :(
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
You have to hold the power button for nearly ten seconds. As soon as you see it powering on, start holding power again (to power it off) and don't let go until it's off.
[Nook Color General] jleecong:
Agreed...

1. Power off the nook.

2. Tap the power button.

3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.

Repeat...

I don't understand though... If you are looping it should reset itself. If it will boot use adb and just set the counter to reset or terminal on the device and type...

echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
1. HOLD POWER UNTIL IT COMES ON

2. LET OFF POWER BUTTON 3 SECONDS

3. HOLD POWER BUTTON UNTIL OFF

4.REPEAT 8 TIMES!

simple enough, for most humans.:D
[Nook Color General] Musicman247:
I just press the power button and keep holding it down while it starts booting. Works for me.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
An even faster way is the 3 fingers of salute.

Hold down power button, fractions after hold down volume up and fractions after the n button. Keep those 3 down until you see the reset screen. Worked for me.
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
When you do it that way it only clears /data but the root program is still on /system

[Nook Color General] Wranglersm:
So is that a no?
[Nook Color General] d00med:
I tried it over and over for about half an hour and couldn't get it to shut down after the third boot. It seemed to ignore the power button after the first or second time I rebooted. I tried many different variations on timing, but nothing worked. People are saying to wait for the N, instead of "the future of reading," which I didn't try.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kjliew:
I have searched high and low and concluded that HTC Diamond unlocked US version (DIAM110) does not have any aftermarket official ROM update. The one and only one ROM is the one that loaded on the device. It is WM6.1 build 19965.

Did anyone try to load the latest Euro WWE version of official ROM update (WM6.1 build 20764) onto DIAM110? I understand that this requires the device to be HardSPL'ed 1st.

I am still hesitated to try cooked ROM, unless I know I can go back to the true official ROM image originally intended for DIAM110.

In the past, HTC support had the shipped ROM available for download, but now I can't seem to get hold of the DIAM110 shipped ROM.
