[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknetgb:
Hey, I updated my phone last night to CM 6.1.1 from Oxygen by AdamG using ROM Manager. I chose the options to wipe the data/cache and to install google apps. When that finished and my phone rebooted it now doesn't start anymore and just stays on the cyanogenmod loading screen and that loops around every minute or so. I've looked at the output of adb logcat and that shows some dalvik vm errors about not enough free space but I don't know what its refering to.

I tried going into recovery by holding power + back and then going to bootloader=>recovery but that just brings up a red triangle with an exclamation mark in.

I've also tried flashing the HTC Desire RUU (RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28 U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe) to try get it working again, but that detects the phone (I started the RUU program while the phone was in fastboot.) and starts to flash the rom but fails.

I can't flash the recovery back with fastboot due to my device being S-ON (i assume thats the cause because i get signature verification fail)

How can I get this working again?

Thanks,

Jack.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
how was this device rooted?

flashing a rom cannot replace the recovery unless its an RUU but you said you had the exclamation mark which means unrevoked didnt replace the recovery

please tell me how this was rooted, did you use unrevoked?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknetgb:
Umm, it was with some goldcard method I think. It was ages ago when I first rooted it so I can't really remember what I did and i've done loads of ROM flashes since then and they've all been fine.

Heres some output from adb logcat while the phone is booting - pastebin.com/yfGJdRwe (can't post links yet :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
did you try and go into recovery before or after you ran the RUU?

us a gold card and try and do the pb99img.zip method
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknetgb:
the RUU didn't install. it detected the version but wouldn't install.

Which pb99img.zip do I flash?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Depends on the version of baserom you have now.

Safe bet is to go for an equal or higher version. If one isnt available, youd have to use goldcard and go for the latest WWE
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknetgb:
How would I find the baserom version?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
you would have hopefully made a note of it before rooting :)

if not, as Droidzone said, you would be best making a goldcard and flashing the latest WWE RUU from shipped roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultradestroyer:
well, acording to my experience .

your may got some problems in your ext portion of your SD card.

try to repair the ext portion with the recovery.

hope this would be helpful to you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknetgb:
Umm, well no I didn't :P

Right so if i make a goldcard and use this RUU (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869048) and take the .zip from it.

That should work with no major complications?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
yep, make a goldcard.

this is a direct link to the latest PB99IMG.zip you should use:

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip

should work ok :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknetgb:
Right its back to stock and im trying to root it again using unrevoked and everything is going fine but at the end it says "Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
what version of unrevoked are you using?

make sure you do not have any form of adb tools running on the machine like droidexplorer etc etc

[G Tablet General] ericgibson:
I know one of you masters out there surely have considered using an air card with the GTab. I have an ATT USB aircard and would dearly love to pop it in and have internet. I have a router that does it so I know there are simple drivers out there that maybe could be retasked.

The second, almost as important, would be using a USB WebCam. I've written several Apps that I use to collect inspection data for work and attaching a WebCam would allow simple picture import into those reports. Talk about a neat set up to use onsite at a customers location. It'd probably have to be set up as a replacement to the built in camera so apps sending a picture call would bring up the WebCam instead.

Its above me to provide these but I'm certain one of you code gods can wip it right out.

Thanks for all your hard work guys and gals. These tablets have some real potential and through your work its being brought to life.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92bubble:
flashing a rom on my evo was very successful. My issue was restoring my contacts and apps so i thought i had to recover them. FAIL! So i guess it put the stock rom on top of the flashed rom. Yes, FAIL again, i know. So the phone was running slow as ****. I backed up alllll my apps again on titanium and my contacts. My question is, how do i get my contacts and apps again? I know this is probably easy but im stressed and cant think right now. Worked 13 hours and thought i damaged my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
I have always just let Google sync my contacts so if I change devices I can just log into my Google account and they get transferred automatically. As for backing up apps I don't. I don't trust it. I like to start fresh everytime and install manually that way there is less of a chance of conflicts. If u have paid apps they always show back in the market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92bubble:
yea all im worried about are the contacts....i have no prob downloading those few apps over...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
For contacts using google sync, for app I just back up list of them using app list backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92bubble:
wow. so only 1 contact is showing up. does this mean i have to recover all my old stuff just to get the contacts
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
Were your contacts saved in your Gmail?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
Also did u make a nandroid before changing roms and losing everything?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92bubble:
yes they were synched with the gmail.....im on the gmail now trying to figure something out but i dont see anything......and yes i backed up everything before i cleared the phone up
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Hope you didn't "clean contacts" any other way but while flash rom of because that would sync as well and delete them from gmail. For example: someone believed his contacts are backed up at gmail and he chose to delete them from phone... then phone sync with gmail and "update " this "new phonebook".

If future you can also backup phone using:

1. some apps

2. or simple way by - open your contacts > chose menu > Import / Export > Export to SD card (restore them same way while choosing Import).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
Hmm I would do a wipe then restore your nandroid backup you already have. Then make sure all your contacts are synchronized in your Google account. One thing i have always done is export contacts to a file and keep on pc just incase i lose them. After that do all your wipes and flash the rom of your choice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
Beat me to it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92bubble:
for some reason its only synching 1 contact....i tried it like 3 times...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Forget Sync now, looks like they are gone . Did you manually delete any of them while "cleaning" your phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theultimatev:
I would suggest booting into recovery flashing CALKULINS_FORMAT_ALL.zip & reflashing your rom. Contacts should be synced with google otherwise try mybackup pro. For apps I always suggest Titanium Backup. With the amount if rom flashing I do I find the donated version worthwhile. Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jambrous:
I rooted this cappy, and flashed darky's rom. A week later, got Launcher Pro fc issue. Was just gonna uninstall and reinstall LP, no biggie. But then TiBu started fc. Then I flashed back to stock and flashed the rom again this time with wipe.. When the phone booted up, multiple fc issues. So, I installed Serendipity rom...Two days later, all fc issues returned, cannot call, text, anything. Help please! I am going to flash back to stock for now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Are your fc from start, or are you restoring first? When you go to stock, are you doing s master clear?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jambrous:
No master clear, just wipe then flash with CWM. Ive done 5 cappys the exact same way, this one seems to not want to play well....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Are you restoring any system data with Tibu? If so don't do that. Only restore user apps.

That's the only idea I have right now, hope it helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jambrous:
I am not restoring system data, thanks for the help.
[Android Software Development] derrickonline:
Ok, I have a rom there's a system.img and boot.img. Previously I took someone else's update.zip deleted the boot.img and system.img from their update.zip, replaced it with my boot & system img and it worked.

Now I was given a new rom from a manufacturer and when I try swapping the boot & system this time, and applying the ROM it doesn't seem to work.

What am I missing here? If I up the system.img and boot.img can someone create the update.zip for me?

Or can you give me an update.zip file where I can just drop in my boot & system.img
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
Are you signing the update.zip afterwards?

What error does the logcat give you?
[Android Software Development] derrickonline:
hmm. Not familiar with log cat or signing.

Let me add some additional information that may help.

There's a tablet manufacturer that is testing their ROM. Unfortunately they didn't give it to me in update.zip format.

They gave me a bunch of files that include boot.img and system.img and there's a recovery.img (as well as a bunch of other files).

The device is a tegra 2 device.

Previously I loaded the VeganN rom which is designed for the Viewsonic G tab. Though my device isn't a Viewsonic G tab the rom worked (with the exception of certain things like camera etc).

The tablet I have, the manufacturer sent me a "recovery rom". Basically it was a stock Android rom, even that rom didn't really work all too great but I was able to install that rom installed using the following method:

Took the Vegan ROM's update.zip file, delete that system.img and boot.img and replaced it with the one sent to me by the manufacturer. That worked.

Now the manufacturer sent me an updated package which also includes a boot.img and system.img and this time the system doesn't boot.

I suspect it has something to do with my update.zip file. For whatever reason it worked before (replacing the files) but didn't work this time.

Still need signing? The manufacturer wanted me to use Ubuntu and run a script with a .sh extension and said that would flash the unit with the new ROM.

I'm not a Linux expert but I did install Ubuntu as a VM but I couldn't figure it out. I figured if I had an update.zip I'd be in business.

Any guidance you can provide is appreciated.
[Android Software Development] derrickonline:
Well, If I replace just the system.img from someone else's update.zip it boots but there seems to be some quirks so I'm guessing the issue I have is replacing the boot.img any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mellojoe:
I had an old phone that had 3 or 4 different styles of vibration that you could set to different forms of communication. This came in very handy as I could tell immediately if the vibration was for an incoming call or just a text.

I can't find that feature on the Streak anywhere. THere is only one vibrate style. Would someone (smarter than me) be willing to look into ways to create different vibrate settings?

ie:

loooooooong short looooooong.

constant.

short short short.

This way even if the phone is hanging out in your back pocket on vibrate all day (like mine mostly is) while you are talking to customers, you know if it is something you can leave alone or if it is something you should check immediately.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigruss:
You can this with Tasker, trigger it so that when a notification comes from another app then run a particular sequence of vibrations. I use it to give a vibrating alert to Bugme which has a sound and popup but no vibrating alert of it's own. If the app has a built in alert I guess you would just turn it off and use tasker to run the sequence you like. Tasker can look a little complicated at first but is very useful even to non-programmers like myself.
[Streak 5 Android Development] domin8:
Another option I use is to use handcent or chompsms you can customize your vibrate pattern for texts that way.

Hi,

i live near the border so my phone sometimes roam to another foreign network. I was wondering if there is any way or app that could help me block these foreign networks and just stay at 'limited service' if my local network is not available.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengork:
Set your phone network manually to one provider in settings. Also I think I saw some roaming on/off widgets around.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cattleprod:
just go in to wireless and networks>mobile network and uncheck the data roaming
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplained:
As in not data roaming but roaming itself. And is there any free apps? Cuz I can't find any.
[G Tablet Accessories] Deleted member 3303094:
Forgive my ignorance regarding GPS devices....

I live in the Middle East and I see the current thread regarding Bluetooth GPS devices for the G tablet. Before I buy one of the mentioned devices, has anyone been using them outside the US? Or better yet, if someone can tell me if they will work outside the US/Canada, I'd appreciate it.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
GPS signal can be picked up in the middle east without a problem.

The real problem is finding the maps, if you can be sure that whatever application you are going to use on the GTab for the GPS navigation will have maps for your location then you should be fine with any of these BT GPS's.

By the way, the ebay seller mentioned on the other thread wont ship internationally, your best bet is finding an Asian listing, there is tons of BT based GPS to be had there.

Best of luck,
[G Tablet Accessories] Deleted member 3303094:
A quick look at the Android market had some apps that said they were worldwide apps so I may be in luck. If anyone has used an app in Kuwait, please let me know.

Thanks for the info!
[HD2 General] Fa1n7:
While reading all the great threads about WP7 I found that there are quite a lot of people that are not able to get in touch with MS, and they keep on spaming, trying to find one. So here's my idea: do not do this. Just ask here and if there is someone who can help, he could PM you.

So I'll be the first one. Anybody could help me?
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
*tuts, shakes head and rolls eyes*
[HD2 General] bates_1974:
Just phone them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] Fa1n7:
I can't! It would cost me more than my monthly payment, and the skype connection so f***** up!
[HD2 General] TheOnly1:
Jesus. You DON'T need to call MS in the USA. Call your local MS support (should work in all countries where WP7 is officially launched by the local mobile operators!) and they will give you the code. I'm from Bulgaria and to my extreme surprise I got the code within 5 min from a very friendly customer support agent on Microsoft's toll free 0800 number. The agent didn't ask for anything more than my name and mail adress. He even mailed me the code afterwords for future reference :)
[HD2 General] xandercom:
UK ms are giving them out first time. give them a call through skype.

0844 800 2400 choose option 2 and then option 7
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Does anybody know how many times we can use this code to re-activate our phone?

Just asking as I like testing this but I want to go back to android soon but just worried about re-activation issues etc.
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
^ Till now I've used same code to Activate 4 different Live Accounts! So my guess is its Device dependant. You can activate it any no of times as far as its the same device. Thats my guess!
[HD2 General] TheOnly1:
Tou can activate 3 different live accounts with 1 code AFAIK. So you shouldn't be having any troubles with switching forth and back between Android and WP7 :)

A notice to bulgarian users. For Bulgaria the MS number is 08001555 (free from all networks!). Choose option 1 from the voice menu and then tell the operator that you need a WP7 code.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Well I was referring to the same live acount but I guess that sort of answers my question anyway. thnx.

Can I ask though why you used 4 different accounts?
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Well first when I activated using my Live account, Marketplace didn't work since that Account was created using India as locale.

2nd time I activated with a different ID, but that too turned out to be from India as initial Locale.

3rd time I created a totally new Live ID and this time everything worked perfectly. Marketplace and XBL worked just fine.

But then I thought of migrating my X360 XBL to this new ID and as soon as I did that, the Marketplace not available for your region error came up.

Finally created another account, activated it again and using it!
[HD2 General] rubikum:
Ok I called customer service and they needed my name etc, but then IMEI wtf!!!!!

Can anybody please pm me an activation code????

Thanks:)
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Actually I asked the Agent "If I hard-reset my HD7 (:p) can I reuse this code ?" And He said "Yes, whenever you format your phone and an error came up you can use this code again just don't give it to any other person" so i assume that the code is valid for My phone (or ID ?) to be used very multiple times but I'm not sure since he didn't mean it directly :D
[HD2 General] chrisjasper:
Worked perfectly, thanks

ok getting

on phone now with Microsoft getting # i will post the USA number in a second
[HD2 General] phoenixtraveller:
They do not ask you for any information - and even if they did there is ways to get around that.

PM me.

For all M$ ( MICROSOFT ) staff reading this: the fact is - we understand that you are a business and have goal of making money etc and locking down etc to ensure that BUT the simple truth is - really - WHATEVER security is EVER deployed = NEVER enough. SOMEONE will also hack it. Look at Xbox 1 and to quote Andrew Bunnie Huang (a friend of mine from MIT Artificial Intelligence)- security through obscurity never works. XBOX 1.1 security made things worse than 1.0. And the same goes for this: the REAL problem is that there is a LOT OF REAL HD7 PHONES AND OTHERS INCLUDING TELSTRA MOZARTS IN AUSTRALIA AND TMOUS AMERICANS which do have INVALID OEM DATA FLASH ONBOARD and the users legit require to bypass this error.

ps:

I am cracking/have almost cracked the formula (algorithm) for activation (using override method not per-live-address-guid-based) and thus far generated 2 new activation codes that work. Might release generator here if no prob with mods and devs.

Anyone know Microsoft official reaction to this all happening? HD2? LIVE?

$50 billion dollars= Windows Phone 7.

And the more overall critical issue is that Cotulla and DFT have just allowed a device to go onto the live services network in proper "xbox-live" protocol (tgs.xboxlive.com/as.xboxlive.com/nexus/passport/live) and thus - with hacks= anyone could play live games with UNLIMITED POWER/LIVES/MICROSOFT points.

Interesting.........

pps:

If you want to CLEAN your phone PROPERLY from WP7 etc then replace the data.zip file for LEO70 with 8 seperate part00-part07.bin files for all 8 partitions. You can also connect to the LEO1000 Secondary Program Loader simulacrum that Cotulla made - has contained in part03.bin I think from memory - and talk to it using debug commands, asserts, flags, symbols, code, as reverse engineered from dwi.exe/daf.exe and all the bins/layouts: note "wph" string in daf.exe and mtty commands that let you talk fully to this WP7 SPL - easily accessed by pressing vol down as per normal at 1234-5-6 point (not both) :)

Also intereted in/might begin working on the file-system for sd-card partition= truly unlock Windows7 forever and permanently. It is great to finally get this & LIVE!
[HD2 General] bnlf:
cool. give me one and ill beta test it for you :P
[HD2 General] kevinniven:
got a code

Ok got a code but it wont let me into my @live email??
[HD2 General] kevinniven:

PM me and i will tell you how to get code and number. took three min.
[HD2 General] makam:
The only way I know is to ring MS,they told me to ring my mobile operator

!!!

Would welcome your help
[HD2 General] kevinniven:
here ya go

Called Tmobile and they gave me this number to MS 800-642-7676 I then said my son purchased a used HD7 on craigslist but it didn't come with a product key. one min later she was giving me a new key.
[HD2 General] tin2404:
I have called Microsoft support in CROATIA and they said that I CAN NOT GET activation code because HD2 is not supposed to run Windows 7,so it is ILLEGAL.(?)

Any other ideas ?
