If you turn off the phone and then plug it into the computer and hold SEND + MENU + hit END to turn it on does it stay with the screen that shows a white triangle, a !, and the android guy? If so see if you can use adb shell and have it connect with the phone. I'm not ever sure if after the update you can get into it. You can use either VOL-DOWN + HOME + tap END or the previous method. The last one should get you the bootloader and if you connect your phone here to your computer you should get a "fastboot" device installed, or something like that. If you can get here you can flash a custom recovery. I think there is a way to do it via the recovery as well. Once you can get into either of those we can get you root.

lg ally wont root

Apparently I got my phone when verizon figured out a way to block all rooting apps. My LG Ally won't root using any of the suggested apps such as z4 root any version, superuser nor universal androot and I refuse 2 do that long drawn out process provided in newer manuals that's just ridiculous. We shouldn't b force 2 keep applications tht we don't want.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] allywrecked:
I didn't hv 2 update my phone it came with the 2.21 version alreayd installed. I did a factory reset twice and my phone won't work until I call verizon for them 2 reactivate it and once I do that all of the preinstall crap is already on phone as soon as its activated
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] evets90:
It's too bad we don't have a method to root like on the Nook Color where you take a formatted SD card and boot from it...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tonyfayte:
I haven't figured out how to re-root yet but I did find a suggestion somewhere in a forum that worked for tethering. Download the Quick Settings app (with the green gear icon) from the market and it gives you and option to turn on wifi hotspot without rooting. It'll bypass the fee Verizon charges while using the app they added in Froyo.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jlangton:
While I agree that we should not have to keep apps on our devices that we do want or intend to use-if you want them gone-you MUST follow the "long drawn out process" to root the device and remove those apps. Otherwise-just deal with the apps being there.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nathyrin:
Also having issues

Having problems with z4mod application also. I tried rooting it with/without SD card in, connected/disconnected from the computer. The app runs, but it gets as far as "acquiring root shell" and then goes back to my home screen. No superuser app or busybox. I even tried installing busybox from the market and it just says Phone not rooted. Its kinda aggravating me. :mad: I'm kinda tired of tethering because of the net timeouts. Can't chat on IRC.

[HD2 General] bates_1974:
This made me laugh quite a bit, based on your reviews I don't think you've used any of the mentioned OS's ANYWHERE near enough to come a solid conclusion on EITHER of them. From using all in depth probably the worst 3 reviews I've ever read on anything anywhere about Android WM6.5 and WM7. A big LOL from me, although an opinion of course.

LOL
[HD2 General] mystik610:
Which OS is the best?

My answer: none.

Throw the iPhone in there for comparisons sake, and they all have very unique strengths and weaknesses, as each OS has taken certain routes to differentiate themselves from their competition. Each OS appeals to different types of users, and what's important to one person, may mean jack squat to another. One user can view a particular feature of an OS as its 'strength', while another can view it as its 'weakness' (ie, some people will embrace the minimalistic nature of WP7, while others consider it blasphemous).

Different strokes for different folks, and no one is 'right' about which OS is the 'best'.

The lengths that people go to defend their beloved OS, and bash another is almost comical.

[HD2 General] Lord60:
OK first of all, Android did not start out in the US on the Nexus One. It started out on, I believe, the G-1. Secondly, the OS is not and should not be considered a 'teen OS' that is not recommended for Adults. I am 45 years old, an adult, and having used MANY of the phones and OS's out there, Android is as good or better than anything in use today. As for the comparison to Windows 6.5 and 7, please... neither of those hold a candle to what Android is. I personally believe that it's far better than the iPhone OS's (et al) as well.

Your review of these OS's is ridiculous. Along with your horrible English, elementary school style of grammar, and moronic comparative reviews, I might get a few nods of approval if I recommend you leave the forum and come back when you:

1. get a clue

2. grow up

Until then, save the forum space for intelligent conversation, and keep your mindless banter to yourself.

I'm pretty sure that the author of this post didn't even test all of the OSs mentioned. And, furthermore, Android is going to be supplied with PS3 on certain phones (such as Sony Ericsson Zeus Z1), to i think it is a matter of time to extract the PS3 apk from it and play on other devices :cool: So Xbox Live goes down to the 2nd place (and WP7 as well) :D

[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Hi all!

I just called Dell yesterday regarding the broken screen on my Streak 5. I got called back today from India - and the guy there told me it would cost me 309 pounds (i guess British pounds? I'm located in Norway, but i bought my Streak in the US).

I called back to Dell Mobility today and asked again (i read here somewhere that talking to someone else could be helpful, and you might just get a replacement). The lady there told me that because Dell didn't have an out-of-warranty repair option before, they sometimes just replaced the broken units. That all changed, and they can now offer repair options.

I don't want to pay 309 GBP to replace the screen, does anyone know of any other alternatives? (Other than the obvious; buy a new phone)

I found this: http://www.dellstreakrepairs.co.uk/repairs.html Has anyone tried this?
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
I know you can buy screens on eBay for just over £100 if you are feeling competent to do the job yourself.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Awesome! Thank you! I just bought a screen from here

I've replaced a couple of screens on mobile phones before, so i'll manage.. :-) Now i only have to get an otterbox to prevent this from happening again! :-)
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
for that much, might as well get a new streak.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
That auction makes no mention of the gorilla glass, is yours ok?
[Streak 5 General] yasir_jan87:
I have heard a lot of people broke their screens... thing is I drop mine from about 4 feet right into the bare ground. I thought for sure it would be broken. But to my surprise it was find on scratch on the back on of the phone and that's it.

Not I guess it must be the way it drops more the force and the height it drops at.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
New screen................$115
Otterbox + shipping......$35.9
------------------------------
Total...................$150,9

New streak.............$399.99
Otterbox + shipping......$35.9
------------------------------
Total..................$435,89

I don't see how that's much cheaper.. :-) And, they don't ship the streak to Norway from dell.com - i actually paid $1000 more for my streak, if you include the price for the plane tickets.. ;-)

Gorilla glass is not in included in the auction, no. Mine is perfectly fine.. :-) Actually, I'm using a plastic screen protector on top of the gorilla glass, and in the end it's the LCD that breaks.. :-/

Mine dropped from 2 feet - from my nightstand and onto the floor. I have to say that I've dropped it several times before, and sometimes from higher up too - but i guess i just hit the sweet spot the last time around.. :-(
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
I'm sure that I read somewhere that the LCD is bonded to the Gorilla glass. Are you sure that you will be able to replace the LCD but retain your original Gorilla glass?
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Oh! Sorry for being a complete douche! I thought you meant the price for that new screen.. Yes, for 309 pounds ($494), i could just as well buy a new streak! That's what i told that guy who called from Dell - but i don't think he cared much.

Oh? I didn't know that.. I'll sure try! Guess i can just post back when i get it and find out.. ;-) Should be about a month till i get it, shipping from Asia is stupid slow..
[Streak 5 General] matheprat:
Has anyone tried www.dellstreakrepairs.co.uk for screen replacements?
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
I'm guessing: very few, as of yet. The counter on the bottom of the site said ~79 when i saw the site two days ago. According to this post on the dell forums, the site launched close to the 13th of January.
[Streak 5 General] zwuncki:
My Streak fell off from about 1m, completely killed the whole glass (display/touchscreen 100% working, glass totally broken).

Dell GER said they can't repair it, I would have to buy a new one.

If you sell a device you should be able to repair it (non-warrenty). Selling an expensive device like the Streak and saying you can't repair a broken screen is really, really sad for such a big company like Dell.

I sold it on ebay these days.

But I miss the Dell. Perfect screen size, perfect form factor. Nice UI.

So I bought a new one.

Now of course I wanna make it as safe as possible.

With the iPhone 4 I read that if you use the bumper it's almost impossible to break the screen if it fells to the floor cause the bumper stands out on the sides which is a protection for the display/screen.

So first I will buy a screen protector but I don't think that alone would help much. Now is there something like a bumper or a silicon case which can help protecting the screen from getting broken?

Thx.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Hmm, i guess i would check the laws in germany.. In norway, i'm pretty sure they have to - and i guess that's the case for USA to, since they told me they used to just replace the units (i guess if the customers complained too much).

Okay, forget it! :rolleyes:

Like an Otterbox? It adds a lot more bulk than the iPhone 4 "bumper", but i don't see how it's possible to make a bumper for the streak.. I mean, not like the iPhone bumper at least.
[Streak 5 General] zwuncki:
No I don't want a bumper for the Streak.

I just wanted to say that some cases with no display protection still protect the display somehow because of the way they are constructed.

I wonder if a simple silicon case would protect the display somehow because it does stand out on the display's side a bit as well (as the bumper on the iPhone does).

I want a case which is as slim/thin as possible but does protect the display somehow if the device fells on the floor.

I also wonder if there's any screen protector which is solid/robust enough to protect the screen not only from scratches but from getting broken.

I know Exim and Brandos are good but are they good enough to prevent the screen from getting broken?
[Streak 5 General] matheprat:
Dell refused to fix my Streak with a broken screen, so I sent it to the above (www.dellstreakrepairs.co.uk). I would recommend the service if you are in my position, I was only without my phone for about 48 hours, door to door. Phil is a really friendly and helpful guy.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Just to update the thread: I just received my replacement screen yesterday, and i replaced it as soon as i could! :-) Now could finally put my old G1 back in the drawer and use my Streak again! :D

The auction said nothing about gorilla glass, but the screen sure had some kind of glass covering it, and after i accidentally pressed the sharpest end of my screwdriver into the screen (don't ask), i'm pretty sure it's gorilla glass. It didn't even leave a mark.. but it punctured the screen protector i'm using..

I'm happy, and my streak is happy!

And, as you can see on the picture, i ripped the touchscreen controller off my old screen.. honest accident.. :-/ the LCD was broken anyways!

I was actually able to tear the old gorilla glass off the LCD and have a look underneath.. they didn't use "extremely strong adhesive", but there was some kind of semi-liquid between the glass and the LCD, so i guess it's not worth taking apart just to have a look underneath..
[Streak 5 General] fventura03:
wow thats cool, how hard was the process?

my glass is broken, the LCD is OK though. just has small crack on the bottom left by the home button...
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Well, don't do it if you don't really have to - and don't do it if you think you may break it even more!

Opening the streak is documented in detail on ifixit, but for some reason they stop before actually removing the LCD and glass from the rest of the chassis. I found this thread over at modaco, look at the timelapse-videos and note what he says:

When i got to the end of the ifixit teardown, i removed the 5 small clips, and i had to use a lot of time to get the LCD and glass out of the chassis. There is some tape on one side that's best to try to remove, and it's hard to get the LCD out. I guess that's why i removed the glass too.. :-)

Oh, and if someone wants to see images of the screen and glass: here, here and here.

So I have had my Fascinate for a couple months now, and before that I had a D1. Never had any problem with it and was always careful about making backups and installing the correct ROMS for my phone. But now I apparently made a big ol' mistake.

When I turn on my phone the SAMSUNG logo pops up and it boots to the samung recovery and I get this message.

E:Cant' mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid argument)

if I try to restore from a backup it gets to the

I cant seem to load into DOWNLOADING (bootloader?) for Odin or adb.

It was working fine last night and I tryed Kaosinate's alpha Froyo last night and I got that to load and install fine. When I was done testing it out I tryed to restore to the back up I just made. I think that the kernel that goes with is ROM was a Voodoo lagfix one, and when I restored my old ROM it would boot up completely fine but the touchscreen us totally unresponsive.I tryed to do a full data/cache wipe and then restoring again and I still got the same problem. I then try to install a different rom and it got stuck on some screen with alot of text on it when it was booting. I had to do a battery pull and thats when I got to this point.I guess my question is. Did I brick my phone?

My HTC Touch Diamond2 never stays connected to my Windows 7 PC for long.

Therefore its not syncing everything.

If I go into Sync Center the status of the device is Disconnected.

To fix this problem I have to go into Device manager, Uninstall the Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter, unplug the phone from USB, plug the phone back into USB and Windows recognises the phone and reinstalls the driver.

But later in the day it will disconnect and I have to go through the reinstall process again.

Its really annoying.

How can I permanately fix this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wavesshock:
Try a Hard-Reset. It worked for me to. Or try to reinstall Windows mobile device center.

if that does not work, try to update hard-spl to 2.51 (if your device is already rooted). that helped me out, maybe it will help you, too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] m4rky:
Thanks for the reply.

I have not done a hard reset but I updated the ROM, last week, to the latest that HTC have published.

It did not fix the problem.

I also reinstalled the Mobile Device Center and it didn't fix it.

I have now created a script to reinstall the driver for me. So I just double-click it on my PC and its automatic. Still annoying but now less so!
