Backup with Titanium Backup then do a full wipe/factory reset and reflash ROM and Kernel. Flash ROM first, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then flash kernel. Finally restore all apps with Titanium.

I had a similar problem but it ended up being my USB hub that i plug into, had to move it to another USB port and all worked fine..

I recently installed 2.5.7 and most everything is great. My current issue is that without GPS turned on, nothing will read my location. Things like Flixster and the News/Weather app that came with the handset. Do I need to download something that was taken out ala Swype or Voice Search?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You should probably put this question in the Fission thread in order to help the Fission Devs fix any problems.
[Droid 2 General] Goldfoot:
I figured that but I don't have the 10+ necessary posts to post in a development thread. It told me to ask here.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Oh, you were in the fission thread here within the android development sub section and it wouldn't let you post? or were you trying to add a new thread with your issue? if it's the first one then I think there is a flaw with XDA's new posting scheme.
[Droid 2 General] Goldfoot:
Yep, that's the thread I was in. I've been frequenting it for a while now, I just never needed to post anything. When I click on reply in that thread, I get this.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Oh. Well I would assume a reinstall of the ROM will fix it. Or maybe even try SBF'ing your phone if you came from a different ROM or have flashed many ROMs and haven't SBF'd yet.

If someone else hasn't posted anything about it then it's most likely with your set up and reinstalling usually fixes things. Maybe even PM Angdroid but it seems like he hasn't been on recently so...see if we can't get some posts under your belt in this thread discussing the problem so you can post in the Fission thread.

Also if you have a theme on sometimes reverting to a version of your setup with out that theme might fix an issue.
[Droid 2 General] Goldfoot:
Well, I fixed the issue. This wasn't a huge issue so I didn't really look into it but a few days ago I was going to use some app that needed location info. It took me to the location settings of the phone, which I'd been to many times before, and I still had it checked to use wireless networks. Just to see what would happen I turned it off and then reloaded the app. It took me back to the settings page and I re-checked the option. After that it brought up the screen where I agree to allow the phone to determine my location and now it works.

Conclusion: The ROM has the option checked by default, but this is an issue because it doesn't give you a chance to actually agree to the terms, and thus the option isn't actually active. At least, that's how it was on mine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sokoow:
Hi All,

I'm pretty new to Android, but not entirely new to linux and kernel development at all. I was just wondering about two things :

1. Could anybody tell me how to redirect the console messages to be able to see them through usb link (something like serial port console)? Is it possible at all in SNS ?

2. How would one display kernel messages directly on SNS' screen, instead of boot logos ?

Hope somebody keen enough will be able to write me a faq for linux. Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dabary:
In the same stage as you.

Wondering how can I debug my kernel over USB or print the kernel logs in the phone screen instead of the boot animation.

Any hint guys?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustyshack3:
Even though this is contributing to a resurrected post, i will still put in my 2cents.

It is up to the bootloader to boot fb or nonfb, so you would have to hack the bootloader to get nonfb/console output.

Most of the useful stuff is in dmesg anyway, which is part of busybox and usable through terminal emulator.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsxiao:
For those running cognition 3.04, does anyone else notice sometimes when you press the side volume rocker, it only controls the media volume. I would exit apps and wait a while but it doesn't seem to do anything. I can access ring volume by manually changing it in the sound settings panel. I would then have to restart my phone in order for the rocker to control ring volume again. I've tried locking and unlocking phone, but seems only a reboot will reset the rocker's control. Does anyone else have this issue?

hmm I followed the instructions on how to flash from this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364. i was coming from eclair so i didn't wipe with odin. so if i were to reflash, does it mean running clockwork again and choosing to install from sd card again, and selecting wipe data and cache as well? I've read in some threads you should use odin to go back to 2.1 then flash again with clockwork. Others have skipped that step altogether and used clockwork directly. sorry i am noob to the flashing scene, didn't want to wait for an AT&T update that probably won't come for a while. glad i found a way with users here to empower my own device:D

Hi this is my first post.

I decided to write because I can't find any solution.

I have a samsung galaxy 3 which is not rooted. I am trying to update the firmware through samsung kies. As you can see from the picture below I have thelatest version of kies installed

The problem is that I always receive the same message :mad:

"This version of tthe device cannot be updated"

Can you please tell me if I am doing something wrong or if the version of the firmware is somehow locked?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] loady:
Hi,

last time i came in here unhappy with my stock HD2 on tmobUK android was just emerging on SD, now i came in here the other day WP7 is available as NAND and so is android....things seem to be a little confusing now, quite a few of these great ROMS are from people whos first language is not english so its quite hard to sometimes understand what they are explaining so i would be greatful if someone could answer somes questions, i have tried to read threads as best i can but some of them, well most actually are well into the hundreds within hours.

1) A lot of chefs describe NAND and SD, i know the difference between the two, but then they get mixed with magldr and NAND with ext4 etc etc..basically i want to flash the phones software to my NAND, i am assuming this is the best way to have it running at its optimum ?..so if i do this why would i need ext4 partions on the SD as well ? whats the benefit of it ?

2) i have also noticed that you can scan a barcode and have a link download a new rom to your phone and flash it, could i do this with ANY rom straight over the top of another without question ? and everything will be as it should be.

3) Does each ROM need to be set up in a different way?, this partly answers the previous question.

4) i flashed WP7 to my NAND (i think)..i was not happy with it and i had magldr installed, i just formatted my SD card to fat32 popped it back in and followed instructions to put [Feb 01][DL DesireZ v3.4][DL Data2SD/Ext4 v2.6][Nand/SD/MAGLAR] on to it.... it took me into magldr and told me to do a few things...did this flash to my NAND ? and did it do what was needed to the SD card regarding format or was it up to me to make certain changes to the SD card myself ?..the phone works and i can make calls, but all the apps that are stated to be in the ROM are not there, i cant find any GPS stuff and when i go to market place itsays its downloading an app but i can never see it.

As you can see i really am quite discombobulated with all this...i would love a easy reading guide that explains everything from A-B and all the terminolgy.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
1. Many of these Android roms would swamp the entire memory of the EU HD2, so a workaround is to have partitions on the sd cards to store apps and data, leaving the system to run on NAND. When you update your rom, you just flash the system files and all app and data remains on the sd card.

2. The QR code just allows you to download the rom to your phone. You would still need to flash it AFAIK. (Heven't tried one of those yet). There are basically 2 types of NAND Android roms. One type use the more conventional flash type where you run an exe (daf.exe) from the usb flasher option on magldr. The 2nd (more recent type) packs the roms as zips which you can download and copy to your sd card and then using Clockwork mod, you can flash the rom directly from your sd card. This also allows you to take full backups, try another rom and if you don't like it you merely restore the rom.

3.Each rom and each dev has their own way of building these roms, so you will need to read carefully regarding what to do wrt sd card partitions etc.

4. Flashing WP7 and the Android rom via magldr would have installed the rom to NAND. You would need to partition your sd card yourself prior to flashing the rom. There are tutorials on how to partition the sd card to give you more help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
1) MAGLDR is nothing but kind of a bootloader. You can select how you want to start your ROM. AD SD or NAND or also now you can back up ROMS with MAGLDR... SD ROMS use haret.exe method. NAND uses DFT.exe method. there is another way called Clockwork MOD which uses .zip method.

Differences:-

SD Method: you have winmo 6.5 on NAND and android on SD card.

NAND Method: you install android on NAND itself.

Clockwork MOD: you install android on NAND but the benefits include you can backup your whole ROM in the actual state and flash it back later... So you can try different ROMs without worrying about installing apps and adjusting settings on the ones you like.

ext4 is a type of partition used by system. you can use the ROM which supports APP2SD and put your apps on ext4 partition.

2) As for the barcode ones. I am not sure how that works, but deffinately not as easy as you are thinking... :(

3) All the NAND roms use DAF.exe method so you do not need to worry about setting up the ROMs or anything. It does it for you. But some NAND roms have capabilities for APP2SD, in that case you might have to format your SD card in some particular way (explained in the threads always) to get ext2/3/4 partition to use app2sd.

4) you can flash WP7 only on NAND as there is no other way to do it for now. As for the new build you used, it has more than 1 versions. SD and NAND. If you followed the instructions for NAND and used DAF.exe to install it, then the ROM is already set up for you on NAND. Now the build you used had data2sd option and you can format your SD card as the author has said to use app2sd functionality.

One more thing, mostly TMO US users do not need app2sd as they have enough space on their phone. So if you are TMO US user, you can opt your self out from that headache.

Hope this helps. Just for the clarification, I am also a newb... I tried my level best to answer your questions...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
QR codes are just text, in this case a URL. Instead of making you type the URL on your phone, you can just scan it with a special app, and get taken to the URL. Nothing more.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] loady:
Thanks guys...the fog is clearing a little now...just a few reiterations..

So if i opt to flash to NAND, is it flashing it to the NAND upon each boot or is it written once and thats it, it seems to take a little while longer to boot these ROMS on NAND than a stock ROM..so for instance, if i was to remove the SD card after shutting down the phone and then start it up again, would it not boot because its looking for the ROM on the SD to put into NAND ?...i understand that running from the SD card it just boots from the SD card.

So basically the last ROM i installed, as i did not pre setup the partitions on SD card, FAT32/1024mb ext4/512mb ext4 and went on to flash the rom it has ONLY flashed the ROM WITHOUT the apps and everything else it was supposed to have pre installed already ?...so i have now setup my SD card and i am going to follow through again from scratch and hopefully have the ROM running with all the said apps.

My SD card being setup FAT32 / 1024 ext4 / 512 ext4 doesnt seem to be a lot of space to store apps on the ext4 partitions, what data goes on what partitions...and do i HAVE to have the ext 4 at the stated sizes ?

Thanks again guys for your input, you have all been really helpful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
If you use NAND then you can start your phone without SD card. The build is on NAND(ROM). Where win6.5 used to be originally. You do not HAVE TO partition your card. You can use whole card at FAT32 and store all your data on there. But if you choose, you can give some storage space as ext2/3/4 partition and store your apps in that partition. The benefit is you can free some space from your phone. When you boot your phone for the first time, it will be in original state. Then you can install apps from the market. These apps will be going to your phone's inbuilt memory by default. But you can use some apps to move apps from your phone storage to ext4 partition. But be aware that after you move your apps to SD card you have to have SD card in all times or those apps will not work when SD card is not there. As far as the size of ext4 partition is in question, 1024 MB is more than enough. As you will have some space on your phone and 1024MB on ext4. I would say if you install more apps than that, then you phone will be laggy like hell. ext4 partition size should not matter according to me.

Also read tutorials at this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905841
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
^ Agreed. Don't do Apps2SD if you don't really need it. It's another possible source of problems (I've had my fair share of system crashes with A2SD on my ol' Magic, and the biggest problem was that there was no way of backing stuff up - stuff probably got more reliable nowadays though), it's not ideal for your SD card and speed isn't optimal either.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] loady:
People would have you believe otherwise..ext4 is faster but ext2 parsay is more reliable... for the life of me i have followed numerous guides explaining how to format the card, even one i followed from a rom was in perfect enlgish and easy to follow but my phone just locks at the spinning tmobile logo, it wont even boot into magldr...all i can do is reflash a stock rom using RUU...im sure i am doing everything in correct order

HELP

Hi

I a rooted my wifes brand spanking new Defy (with SuperOneClick). I then downloaded this ROM and unzipped it to the correct folder on the SD card. I "restored" it to the phone and all went well ... until I tried to reboot! Now it goes into an endless loop of rebooting, showing the initial splashscreen and then rebooting again!!

Following this I can't get back to the bootloader with the "options" but I can get a USB connection and RSLite recognises the phone. I have spent 4 hours trying to download an sbf I can find! Only 1 has actually allowed the "start" button in RSLite to be active and when I try to flash I immediately get a (0x7100) error. The log file tells me that the path is invalid. I have tried moving it to the c: path and then done the "counting" of the letters for the unusual path ... no success!

I am on Windows 7, RSLite v4.9

Any suggestions ... mostly likely in terms of whach sbf to download and/or how to activate the start button in RSLite?!!

Any help appreciated!!
[Defy Android Development] slashvanyoung:
Have you tried pulling the battery and then holding vol.-up while re-inserting the battery to get to the bootloader?

You'll need bootloader access to flash a different .sbf via RSDlite.

Anyway, this ROM looks like a keeper upon first boot. I was on jboogie's Froyo Beta 2 (China ROM) before and I just wiped, restored, wiped-again and flashed the T-Mobile-boot-only.sbf. So far I haven't noticed any bugs. Thanks! :)

- This rom has a 3rd party camera software installed. The stock one was not able to access media gallery. Any idea how to fix this?

- LED light doesn't work for Camcorder. (probably same for any other ROMs too)

- Has a customized font. Looks unique but not my taste.
