[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr0fess0rX:
Hello,

I have some question regarding HBOOT:

What is HBOOT?

What is the difference between Bootloader and HBOOT?

Why should I upgrade or why I shouldn't?

If I upgraded it is it easy to downgrade?

Mine is HBOOT-0.33.0012 and there is a version HBOOT-0.35.0017

Because some ROMs requires the newer version and I saw some article warn not to update!!

Thank you and Regards.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech338:
1. Hboot is the boot loader.

2. See above.

3. Upgrading to the new Hboot supposedly gives you some small benefits such as better reliability in certain cases. It is also supposedly required by gingerbread. Most of the AOSP builds of gingerbread don't require the updated Hboot, but the initial builds required it. If you upgrade to the new hboot, I believe you loose the ability to flash images by the PASSIMG method (renaming a signed image to passimg.zip). The new Hboot was rolled out as an update along with the FRG83D OTA. I see no real reason to upgrade it or downgrade it. Messing with it could be dangerous.

4. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726258 I wouldn't say it is easy, but it is possible to downgrade. Not sure why you would want to. Downgrading an SLDC Nexus will brick it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The warning to not update was due to some ROMs not working on .35 as the update script was checking for .33, however this was months ago and is no longer an issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr0fess0rX:
Thank you guys for the reply, I already upgrade it :( to use a gingerbread rom, I think I'm going to stick with it for awhile. If I needed urgent to downgrade it I will try it but not now.

Don't worry, you'll never need to downgrade it.

Ok so I was running T-Mod_LeeDrOiD_2.3d_A2SD rom. And yestarday while playing Robo Defense phone just froze, screen stayd on etc. I waited few minutes and after that took out the battery. After the restart everything is fine except for the SD card being unavailable. So all my aps don't start (as that's where they install by defult). I spend few hours googling about and it look like SD brick.

I've tried standard ROM using fastboot. No luck

Trying unrEVOked without any luck.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

EDIT: Tested card in PC and other phone is fine. As well tried 2 other cards, none of them is working.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedkimchi:
Its probably your sd card that went crazy.

Simply take it out and reformat it in windows, fat32 if you're wondering.

And do the usual, partition using either ROM manager/gparted for your ext.

Though you most probably wont be able to recover whatever you had on your sd card. If you're lucky, your computer might read it.

Not too sure what caused this to happen.

:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Yeah, do what friedkimchi said.

Try to mount it on your PC and if it reads it, then you're good.

However back up your stuff from there and reformat it again. It happened to me once with the samsung omnia, and I was told it was a sign of a dying SD card and they were right. But that's just my case, maybe in yours some internal program code caused the mess up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Great advice. The good news is that if your device started and works OK (minus the apps stored on your sd card) then nothing too bad has occurred. If reformat doesn't work, buy a new card - in fact probably best to buy a new card anyway as once they get a bit wonky they tend to stay that way.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yanluk:
O sorry i forgot to mention it. Card is fine, as well I've tested 2 other cards they all work in PC or other phone but none of them works in desire.

Just thinking is it possible that the card slot just died?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Could be the problem is with the ext partition on the sd card that you can't see in windows.

That's where A2SD loads the apps - probably including the game you were playing when the thing went belly-up.

If you have access to a spare card then I'd suggest you format it with an ext partition (using rom manager or similar) then reflash the LeeDroid ROM you've been using.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yanluk:
Problem is I can't format any card in the phone. Even in recovery mode I can't use any card :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johny_G:
It happened to me once. It's no big deal.

Just boot your phone to fastboot mode (turn it off, and turn it on while holding back button), connect it to PC, and run this command from Android SDK tools folder:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

Reboot, and you are fine.

Source, more details:

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Then try to partition it on the PC with gparted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yanluk:
H:\Software\AndroidSDK\SDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
... OKAY [ 0.090s]

And still same problem :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
hmmm - bugger.

you can format your card using other tools - maybe take a look at this and see if it helps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander M:
Also had some trouble when I just got my Desire, after a week using it suddenly it told me the SD was damaged, so I pulled it out like I did on my Wildfire, and put it back in, no joy.

Then found out the slot has a 'click-in-lock' so push it in till it clicks. Lock doesn't work, you can just pull it out after the click, but it fixed my troubles and I could keep using my SD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachinrpatel:
Can you please upload a screenshot of this process as i am not understanding about your process and also i had tried it but it didnt work.

It shows fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command operable program or batch files.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bishwa_it:
Can you try if your memory card is readable by your recovery, like clockworkmod? If yes probably take a nand backup (alternatively take backup of data in computer), reformat & try.

I am looking for the USB driver. I have downloaded the Mobile Support Tool for PC from LG website, however, when installing the file, I had a compatibility problem...I am using Windows 7 32 bit. :confused:

Appreciate if anyone can help.

Thanks

You can find the drivers on the sd card of the phone. Also if you download the LG Mobile update you can Download the usb driver. Not the LG Mobile software updater.

Open the program, click on install usb driver and then select p500

If for some reason you can't install, i attach the usb driver folder founded in my p500

But even then, my phones not detected on the PC.

Btw, I must mention that I am stuck on the fastboot screen, while trying to do a NANDroid backup, after ROM Manager screwed up with my Custom Recovery installation.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hokum:
I suspect not. The main reason the HD2 works is that the architecture of the phone is close enough to work. Plus it has a capacitive rather than resistive screen which is a major point.
[General Questions and Answers] ogami_ito:
OK. So I just just got a BT keyboard, which does not come with Android software (the packaging marketed it for iPhone). I think the brand is "FunGear", but that might be a no-name / Shanzhai / OEM thin. Anyway...it works pretty well. I just wrote out a 3 page business proposal on my Samsung SGS (with Froyo) at Starbucks using the keyboard.

However, there seem to be some bugs. When I use the keyboard, my phone tells me I need to use the default Samsung Keyboard. Its pretty basic. Furthermore, there are weird things that happen, like:

*it stops responding when Gmail does an auto-save

*sometimes it goes into all cap-lock mode and won't get out until I hit that on the screen.

*some characters seem wrong.

*there is screen down / screen up alt keys, but they don't seem to work.

The keyboard uses what's called the HID profile.

My question is: is there a utility or software keyboard which was made specifically for working with bluetooth keyboards which allow customization?

I havn't come across one but rather i found a edited keyboard.xml file that helped with my kb and its custom keys.

Hey guys I just wanted to get some info on what phone will be possible for importing.

I live in Australia and am contemplating to a smartphone from US and A (why do they get the best phones the earliest?). But the issue is that I am still in my contract (Optus/Virgin). I have little idea about the different GSM radios, but still unsure.

(I was planning on importing the EPIC 4G but, like the rest of the world, we don't use CDMA). Now I am contemplating to import the Motorola Atrix 4G (I am pretty certain this wont be made available here).

Would AT&T's services work in Optus (with voice and data/voice only/no support)?

How could I unlock the device if I were to purchase it? (carrier only/manufacturer only?)

I hope this thread can be useful for other members.
[General Topics] orb3000:
AT&T devices work in 850 frequencies for 3G networks, check with your local provider, as for unlock you can find them all around the WWW from 8 to 30USD depending device.

Thanks orb.

Here's the situation, I'm in metro-area on Optus connection.

1. Telstra (this company is equivalent to AT&T in USA)

3G UMTS850 (Australia wide 3G network, aka NextG)

3G UMTS2100 (3GIS Network shared with 3)

2G GSM900

2G GSM1800

2. Optus (this company is equivalent to Verizon in USA)

3G UMTS2100

3G UMTS900 (rural network)

2G GSM900

2G GSM1800

3. Vodafone Hutchison Australia (This company is equivalent to T-mobile in USA)

3G UMTS2100

3G UMTS900 (rural network)

3G UMTS850 (limited metro network)

2G GSM900

2G GSM1800

Would the Motorola Atrix 4G be compatible with my plan?

If not, what would it be compatible on?
[General Topics] orb3000:
You may chack the device bands, from what I found:

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

If you ask me what would I choose my answer is an HTC branded device, just check what model you want and get the band specs.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] benicz:
Just because i'm curious:

As long as i used winmo and android on the hd2, i thought this buddy just couldn't do a better job. There's always been this little delay (although better in android) between tapping the screen and see the phone reacting. Take scrolling or surrounding tapped icons with a "you-tapped-me" indicator: who ever played with an iDevice knows what i'm talking about and how it should be. Only the HD7 felt like iResponsive. ;-)

Not that i tried WP7@HD2 yet, but watching the video, i couldn't believe it.

It looked as snappy as i always dreamed of!

Can anyone tell me why this wasn't possible in the past?

Ok, let's say winmo just was too lazy, but android? Are there better or new drivers?

Couldn't we adopt the way of i2c-polling (or whatever is making the difference) and use it for android? Or is it another way of event-handling?

Snappyness is the only little thing i'm jealous of the iPeolpe...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalsaForte:
If you want to bench your Nexus One, you can install the speedtest.net app into your phone (available on the market). This will surely gives you a good indication of your current location data speed.

But having the speed constantly updated/refreshed in the notification area... Would it be useful? SmartPhone trafic is bursty: a couple of Kb in/out at a time. Sometime bigger "short" D/L of apps and/or images... Unless you do long transfer, most of your readings would not give you the real picture of your data rate.

Also, 2G/3G data rates are "fixed". You can compare it to "old phone modems" there were specific rates: 14.4K, 28.8K, 33.6K. So, you can never end up with a 29.3K speed.

You have to refer to the HSDPA/HSUPA rate tables.

Hi all. I'm a Captivate user here in the US and have been a fan of this site for some time now. I'd like to think I have a pretty decent understanding of how to do basic to moderate actions, such as installing a new rom, using Clockwork Recovery mod, etc etc.

Here in the last week or two, things have really exploded for my much beloved little phone, including new versions of Cognition, Perception, Darky, Doc's and a many others. One of the newest things out are two new kernels, Firebird 2 and Glitterballs.

My question is simple:

AFTER USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION

to try and find a decent guide on kernel swapping, I was wondering if someone could explain to me how to switch which kernel my phone is using? I'd also like to know if it is a permanent action, or if it can be undone using things like Nandroid in CWM or TiBU.

For some background info, I'm currently running Cognition v.3.01 and was looking into the firebird kernel to see if it was worth it, but don't want to mess with something that "deep" in the phone unless I know what I'm doing.

So, can anyone help explain to me how to swap out a kernel? Please?
