Have you tried doing any of the three button combos to get into download mode and restore to stock possibly?..if none of the buttons work, you might have to make/use a jig to get it into download mode. Anyway, just try getting into download and try to restore to stock for now.

Your phone needs to be in "Download" mode to use Odin.

Scroll down to step 1 and try those "Key Combinations" until one of them gets you into download mode. Once you are in, flash back to stock with Odin. Hopefully that works and solves your problem.

Like the others stated you need to be in DOWNLOAD MODE to get Odin to work.

Also there is a specific method to get Odin to recognize your device and then flash it back to stock:

Turn on ODIN first.

Do NOT have your phone plugged in when Odin is started.

Make sure your phone is powered off.

Hold down the Volume +/- Buttons on your phone then plug in your USB cord. It should go directly into DOWNLOAD MODE and Odin should state that your phone is connected.

Click the Go button and watch Odin do it's magic.

If that didnt work....

Try the "Battery Trick"

Unplug the phone from USB - Power it off.

Pull the battery, SIM, and SDCard (if applicable) from your phone.

Turn on Odin

Plug in the phone to USB Cord (with everything still out of it)

Hold down the VOLUME +/- Buttons

Then while doing all this - pop the battery back in the back of your phone.

Rinse and repeat a few times if it doesn't go directly into DOWNLOAD MODE to make sure you are doing this correctly.

And if THAT doesn't work.

Do the jig :D (Build a jig - there are a ton of posts here in the Q&A and Q&A sticky on how to do this.)

Ok here is my situation: my phone is rooted and the rom installed is CM alpha build 51. somewhere along the line i think i messed up something and now im unable to backup the current rom w/ CWM to flash a new build/rom etc. when i try to backup current rom is restarts into recovery and when i try to backup there it says that its unable to mount system. Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.7 but in recovery mode it says 2.5.1.2 and when i try to flash a later version it just stays on 2.5.1.2. anyways

Q1. Anyone have a solution for this ?

if not

Q2. should i flash back to my original recovery and flash up again ?

Q3. What can i remove from the sd card ? its getting kinda full. can i completely wipe it ? I want to completely wipe it and flash CM7.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
You need to use clockwork 3 to backup any version of cm7. You need to fastboot flash that recovery back on, then make backup, then flash 2.5.1.2, then restore 2.2 rom.

2.2 roms = CWM 2.5.x

2.3 roms = CWM 3.x
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
I ported my ReelPortal video conference to Android recently. It's reported to be working on the Viewsonic G Tablet with certain ROMs. I believe it works on the Archos 70/101, but I don't know how well, since the G Tablet has the Tegra-2 dual-core CPU and the Archos don't.

Anyhow, my app is published on AppLibs, or you can get it from the G Tablet thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908613

Please provide feedback if you try it. Thanks.

Beware of firmware 2.1.3 (not sure if 2.1.4 is any better):

Kashban: I got word from one of my friends owning an Archos 101 (non rooted, latest firmware 2.1.3), that ReelPortal is very buggy and slow on it. I have no problems on UrukDroid based on FW 2.0.71 and still waiting for Uruk to move on to the new FW, so as soon as I migrated I will test again.

[Gen8 General] Kashban:
Feedback

First of all: Nicely done.

I tested it between my HTC Desire, the Archos 101it and my Netbook running Win7 32bit using Firefox 3.6.x.

A few Things which may be improved from my Perspective:

Exit function:

Not prominent enough on Android: If you just chose to back out of the App, it's still running, including Video and Audio broadcast. This is good if you want to bring another App to front without breaking the Conference, but if you intend to disconnect, you have to longpress on the Screen, which isn't obvious at first. You may accidently broadcast on and on without knowing.

Proposal: If leaving the app by the back button, ask the user what to do: Exit Application or put it in the background with running video/audio or put it in the background with video/audio stopped and muted. If the App is in background and still sending, it should show this by an Icon in the status bar of Android. Don't know if that's a goal possible to achieve with Adobe Air. Otherwise you may be sending video / audio without knowing and giving away your privacy.

Regarding privacy: Is there a way to encrypt the Streams? If not, even with your own Server someone might spoof on the Connection (I know it's P2P, but nevertheless routed through internet relays).

Login screen:

Sometimes when writing into the Nickname / Room Fields a leading Space is added and the Strings are not accepted. Better strip any leading and trailing Spaces from the input Strings without bothering the User.

Terms of Service: Should be gone once I clicked "save" and changable by Options Menu.

Would be nice if the App stores my Nickname and the Room I used before

Moving Windows are fancy but not needed on the login Screen. I was more irritated by it.

The Conference Room:

Paused Video Stream of Participant: No indication whether the Connection has been lost or the Participant paused the Stream. Perhaps putting a Message on Screen for Paused Streams (and Muted voice) would lead to more Confidence in the Robustness of the Software and the Connection.

Size of Conference Room Items: On small Screens like my 3.7 inch one of the Desire the Chat Window Controls are too small. Everything else seems to be ok.

Video Stream Quality. How is the initial setting calculated? Is it depending on the current kBit/s or just an overall Default?

Anyhow, this is a good Piece of Software you developed here. I'm not familiar with other Solutions on Android like Fring or Skype, but it looks very promising given the Fact it runs on all Devices with Flash Capacity (even iPhones and iPads with the Packager from Adobe)

Best regards,

Kashban
[Gen8 General] cajl:
have you the link for the netbook ?
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
If you press and hold on the main screen for 4 seconds, a pop up menu appears. It has the "Exit" and "Toggle Screen" buttons. The toggle screen suppose to toggle the screen between FullScreen and Normal (which is default to 800x480), but it doesn't work on Android because currently on Android, Normal equals FullScreen. I will look for other ways to get around it. Thanks for bringing it up.

For netbook, you can run it from a web browser at www.reelportal.com. Or you can install the AIR version via download link.

BTW, double-clicking on the main screen should also toggle the screen, but also not working on Android :(.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Thank you for the extensive feedback! I definitely like a fresh perspective. I will put your ideas on my to do list.

I also tried to install it on my stock 2.1 verizon facinate and the apk won't install using astro.....any ideas?

Thanks,

[Gen8 General] blazingwolf:
Works just fine on my 101. :) Shows how bad the camera is too. :(
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
it needs to have Android 2.2, and Adobe AIR 2.5.1, otherwise it won't function even if you manage to install it, because the API is not there to access the hardware....also, if your device have 2 cameras, the current API only allow access to 1 camera (most likely the back one). Android 2.3 would allow access to multiple cameras.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
thanks...well the camera resolution is currently set to low (320x240) just so the device won't bog down...my plan is to allow the user to select the resolution, in a future version...but i don't have an Archos, so i can't really tell its actual camera quality.
[Gen8 General] blazingwolf:
I think it is a VGA camera. Not very good to begin with. If you can let us change that though it would be great.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Definitely! Actually, the original settings was at 640x480, but when some Samsung Galaxy Tab user reported the device was crawling at 1 frame every 5 secs, I figured the tablet cpu may not able to handle it, so I reduced it for now. But I do want to make it a user adjustable control. Same with the frame rate.
[Gen8 General] njbreaker:
Roger that!

it worked on my 101 and i video chatted w/ my PC! I LIKE....lots of potential here!

[Gen8 General] reelportal:
can you describe your setup details, like:

- are you testing between the 101T and another PC or something else

- is there lag with audio only test (video turned off)

- is there lag with video only test

- and at which end (tablet or PC) do you see the lag

- are you using P2P mode (default), or client/server mode

thanks.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
New Version (1.0.1)

i just added a newer (experimental) version in the first post of the viewsonic thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908613

Changes:

- option to save nickname and room last used (you can clear it by set the fields to blank, then save).

- added new field to enter the Server ip address, in case you want to run your own server (if not set, it defaults to the last used server)

- hide that annoying red TOS box when you check it, and click Save.

- when you enable the webcam, you can set its resolution and frame rate.

the web client is running the new version also. feedback please.

http://www.reelportal.com/

The flash app is right there.
[Gen8 General] Kashban:
Tested on reelportal.com against my htc desire (wlan/T1 line), works quite good. The Desire's cam was set to 640x480@25fps.

Works on the Archos too but I had some problems with the video streams between the Desire, the Archos and the laptops of two of my collegues. Not all videos came through or dropped later on. Not sure how to test this properly.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Wow 640x480@25fps would eat a lot of bandwidth. It also depends on the quality the video was set at (from viewer's control). Were you using P2P mode? I'm guessing the issue is bandwidth and CPU usage. Perhaps you can throttle it down and see if the problem persist. I hope Adobe implement WebM codec soon, which suppose to improve quality and reduce bandwidth usage.
[Gen8 General] munkiii:
I'll give this a test and see how it is. Sounds ok though.
[Gen8 General] Kashban:
P2P, but the other modes also worked, alas with a much bigger lag.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
From my limited testing, P2P Assist mode initially lags (sometimes bad), but after a few minutes of figuring out what's the optimum path, it's just as fast as regular P2P. Client/Server mode depends on your distance to the server. So if you run your own server (which is free to download) nearby, the lag would probably be minimal.

[Gen8 General] njbreaker:
What is a frequently used chat room I can join to test with other people?

Also is it case sensitive? When i joined room Xda it was a different room then XDA or xda. Can that be changed? My tablet keyboard automatically CAPS the first letter. Not a big deal, but thought i'd mention it.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
I suggest use lower case "xda". Currently, all user text entry are case sensitive (including nickname/room/key). Is there a way to change your tablet's default behavior?

I'm not sure about the pros and cons of forcing the text to be case insensitive, which would limit the number of variations. For example, someone may create a common room name (e.g. "friends") and lock it with a key. Others who desire to have the same room name can vary it slightly to "Friends", or "FRIENDS", or "FrIeNdS", etc, without interfering with the original "friends" room.
[Gen8 General] Kashban:
Well, it is best practice to keep everything but passwords case insensitive.

Several Reasons: String will bare less typos and are easier to memorize without having to struggle with capitals in unusual spots.

For a developer it's easy to think case sensitive, for the common user it's not.

There is no harm in having rooms like friends4711 if friends is already taken. It's better to qualify "friends" even more like "JonDoesFriends".
[Gen8 General] tiki1217:
Dear All

[Gen8 General] krowwf:
Everything works well on my Archos70 except the microphone. I thought maybe it was because I have the speech to text microphone in my on screen keyboard, so I turned it off and it still doesn't work, even though the Reelportal mic icon is green. Other than that, great app! I'm very excited about this! These tablets are advertised to be video chat capable but nothing I've tried seems to work other than this. Thanks and keep up the good work!
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Thanks for the feedback. I wonder if the mic would work if you reset the tablet. My guess is Adobe AIR may have problem accessing the mic, if it was taken by another app previously.

njbreaker: I've updated the software to be case insensitive for nickname and room fields. You just need to rerun the app, no need for reinstalling. Please report any bugs.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Kashban:

Did your friend with Archos firmware 2.1.3 determine what was causing the buggy/slowdown? Is the difference between yours and his is just the firmware? Does he have AIR 2.5.1 (not 2.5)?

Unfortunately, I don't have the device myself to do the testing. Any Archos representative here willing to lend me one? ;)

Also, the ratings for my app at AppsLib is on the low side. So I wonder if there's some major issues that I'm not aware of? Since AppsLib is geared toward Archos devices, I hope folks with problems speak up in this thread. If you resolved some issues, please note it here also, so others can learn from it. Thanks.
[Gen8 General] njbreaker:
Thx

Will Do! this should lead to making it easier to join rooms and hopefully have more people in each room.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
I can certainly add code to display all the current rooms which are not locked with a "key", so other people can join in. It'd be similar to public channels on IRC (yes, I'm old school). But the major concern is inappropriate user content. How would the software protect minors/children from joining a room with adult content, etc. I was made aware of this issue when submitting my app for the Blackberry Playbook. So for now, to play it safe, users basically have to coordinate with each other through other means to meet up.

If you have any ideas/suggestions, I'm all ears :).
[Gen8 General] njbreaker:
Maybe have the ability to ban....3 strikes and your out?

I would like to see occupied rooms as I currently only use the app to show off with no one to talk too. :(
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Okay, I just updated the software: if you did not join a room, you'd get a list of people who did not join a room as well. This is just a quick fix, while I figure out if there's a better approach.

If you joined a room, you'd get a list of ppl in that room. To see the list, just click one of the side window on the right, and a "Make Video Call" window pops up, then click on the ">" and the list appears. Click on any nick to place the call.

Banning requires some kind of moderation, which the current server doesn't have any mechanism to do so. Also, since the server doesn't keep any user data, it'd have to ban based on IP, which may cause a group of ppl to be banned? And I want the server software to be extremely small and simple, so anyone can run it on their own server. I'd have to think more about this. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Gen8 General] GregRN:
The voice/sound is very quite on my Archos 70...to the point it's unusable. But it's a great start! I love how others can go to the website and instantly have a video chat.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
Thanks for testing it out. Did you try to increase the volume of the incoming stream by pressing button 3 a few times? If that's not enough, then you can ask the sender to up their microphone level. On the web client, they can do it by Right click->Settings. Here's a demo video for it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WOK4cDLWS8

On Android, I have no idea how to adjust microphone level.

BTW, buttons 3 to 6 will act on whichever stream is in the "main" window. So you can adjust each stream separately, by switching it to the main window.
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
There are 2 ways to increase sound volume:

1) amplify the received audio locally

2) increase the microphone level at the other side

I just updated the code to show the volume level when you press button 3 and 4. The level ranges from 0 to 10. However, if it's already at 10, and you keep pressing button 3 to increase volume, it will send a request to the other side (the sender) to increase its microphone level. You should see "10.1", "10.2", etc, as you press button 3. The number after the "." represent the number of requests sent.

Every request prompts the sender to increase its microphone level by 10%. In order for it to work, the sender must have the microphone ON.
[Gen8 General] superflysocal:
will this work with archos 70 and an android phone like samsung epic 4g?
[Gen8 General] hdrick:
Thanks I'm going to give this a try
[Gen8 General] reelportal:
In theory, it should run on any android 2.2 device, but of course, in practice, it doesn't because of so many different hardware and firmware. I haven't heard anyone running it on the Epic, but I think someone ran it on the Desire. The current ReelPortal interface wasn't designed for small screen, so the buttons are extremely small. I'm working on changing that at the moment.

Also, on devices with 2 cameras, only the back camera work, because that's the default Android camera. Adobe AIR needs to be updated to support multiple cameras (on Android 2.3/3.0).

I would also suggest using a headset for audio, because most audio problems relate to echoes/feedback.
