Easiest way.

Connect to computer, copy everything off sd card, copy everything to new sd. easy as.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Yep, connect to a pc, copy all from old SD card to pc, then from pc to new SD card. Worked for me all the time.

I use simple backup to keep a regular backup of my SD Card by mounting USB to my ubuntu box, so install your new card in the DHD then restore Simple backup
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MegaPrime33:
I tried searching but couldn't find anything for this. I was wondering if there is a Jarvis/Iron Man theme out there for Vibrant/Android. I know there are a lot of themes based on IM, but I'm looking for more of a Jarvis interface.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
So, I just thought I would come here to let everyone know what the SBL actually does to your phone. Me, being a dev, am always flashing test stuff.

The SBL is actually a fix for the Phone-!-PC soft brick screen.

It allows you to flash with ODIN while on that screen. I've tested this SBL through and through and haven't seen any issues with it.
[Vibrant General] Settai:
Hmmm never even heard of that screen before lol... but I was hearing stories of people able to get ODIN to recognize their phone while it was completely off. Can you confirm if that is true or not?
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Wow that puts that scare to rest. thanks krylon of teamwhiskey!
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
I knew it....been sayin that all along.. thx for confirming that for us..
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
False. ODIN will not see the phone while it is off...

*looks at his dead vibrant sitting on the desk hooked to the PC with ODIN open. :(

The Phone-!-PC screen is the softbrick screen you get when you have a bad ODIN flash.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Thanks Krylon........ BTw your name is a brand of paint
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
thanks for the confirmation there krylon.

do you have any idea on why or how so many ppl ended up bricking trying to go to Bionix-v? originally, i thought it was the sbl doing it and that's why i never flashed it.
[Vibrant General] emonero:
so that's what happened to me the other day...I had a bad flash in Odin and that screen came on....but Odin did reconnise the phone and I was able to flash it....I guess Sammy has been looking out for us the "flashers" :D
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
Bricking as in Soft Bricking? or Bricking as in the brick I have laying on my desk.
[Vibrant General] Settai:
Ahhh got ya man thanks for the info, hope you get your new vibrant soon man :(
[Vibrant General] Settai:
Brick as in your brick
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
^yes that. some ppl in the Bionix-v thread here and the one on the TW forums have reported hard bricks after flashing (i think one was even coming from Nerov5 which stopped me in my tracks). Since I'm not in the US atm, I definitely don't want to take any chances.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
SBL wont do that.

You PBL (Primary Bootloader) crashed.

If some how the SBL became corrupt during the DL, it might have corrupted the PBL.

Mine bricked due to flashing the PBL and SBL for the 4G, then ODINing to JFD and flashing the JI6 SBL. my PBL was already hosed.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
ah... but what could cause a pbl to crash while flashing? i really do wanna investigate the issue as ppl have also been bricking doing the otc froyo update too (but then again, i automatically figured it was kiesmini in the first place).
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Looks like there was at least one more hard brick today, he was going to Bionix V BUT went to it following a bad Odin. Maybe others are doing the same thing, f-ing up an odin or flash and then trying to recover by flashing whatever is on their sdcard?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936389

I suppose that is the downside to Bionix being so popular, it just happens to be the Rom they are flashing at that moment.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
I can tell you that wasn't the scenario in my case. I had been running the same rom for a couple of days, saw that Bionix V was released, and decided to flash it. I backed up some updated apps with titanium, backed up call logs, sms, etc with MyBackup Pro, rebooted into clockworkmod recovery, did a nandroid, then flashed bionix V. The install finished and returned to the CMRecovery menu, I selected "reboot system now", and that was it. Phone was dead on arrival
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
I responded. I have a feeling it's when ODIN crashes thats causing the corruption within the PBL.

I've got a new flashing tool...(Not ODIN, nor Heimdall) ;) Lets just say, it's for the Sidekick 4G as well as the Orion...oh, and I have a new ODIN version, and a new Pit file for the Sidekick 4G and Orion and Vib 4G...

Once I get my new phone, I'll test out the new flashing app.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
When mine bricked, I had flashed an I9000 sbl, and then flashed a vibrant sbl while still on the I9000 rom - as soon as the flash ended it just went black and after just one $130 insurance claim I was up and running with a new phone..
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Jellette, remember that 2.2.1 rom you were working on a while back that was posted in your repo over at TW forums? I was one of the ones who flashed that. I never could get it to work properly, but Ever since that flash my phone always booted with the "GT-I9000" start up screen then "Vibrant" screen. Also after that I always had to hold volume up and power to get into DL mode instead of vlume down or volume up & down + power which is the way I used to have to get into DL mode. I always wondered if it had some affect on the boot loader. Could this combined with the flash of the new SBL in the new boionix rom have caused the brick? It's the only thing I can think of as far as why or how my SBL shat itself.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
hehe no insurance claim for me. Luckily I was able to get back to JFD before mine died, so just had to pay the $20 for expedited shipping.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
Thats due to a i9k sbl. Best thing to do is ODIN to JFD, and upgrade to JI6 (the vibrant SBL should be included
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
I thought that would have worked too, but it never would. Weird, I know.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Nice! I sat on mine for what seemed like forever before I told my wife I killed my phone and it was going to cost $130... I was a month out of the 1 year warranty.. Good thing is I now have a new factory warranty that came with the replacement.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
yeah, my wife is pretty pissed I lost all of our party pics from friday. She told me to get a 2nd phone to kill for now on. LOL

Time to search EBAY
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Damnit, I hate to give advice on scary crap.

Best option - continue to live with it.

Second best option - Eugenes froyo that wont brick, followed by either stock 2.1 then kies mini to ji6 then kies mini again to KA6

or

Odin to Eugenes other 2.2 odin package which includes a sbl.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
LOL. Don't worry about it, man that phone is dead and gone. Just got my new vibrant in the mail. Flashing Loki now. :cool:
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Who developed and made ODIN?

Just out of curiousity, since I have never found the answer to this question, who the heck developed ODIN? Who is responsible for its existance.?

Also, I find it hard to believe Samsung only updated the SBL to make the phone easier to ODIN for this small community of people who flash.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
i'm pretty sure it wasn't for this small community as much as it is for their techs who have to fix all the ota/otc bricks.:cool:

i've got to think, after the gps fiasco and all the new handsets samsung had to give away, they've got to find some way to stem the flow of replacement handsets.
[Vibrant General] Stevenjcarney:
I'm curious about this too. I was back in the days I started out on Android on a Cliq and we used a similar program to root.

Although, now I think about it. Samsung's tech dept would need something to repair all the bricked phones, right?
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
That's basically what I read as well.

Odin is for internal use to repair the phones & Kies (Mini) is the equivilent for the customer to flash packages Samsung delivers non-OTA.

While Kies might suck, it is obviously a program that was made for the end customer.

Odin on the other hand is not labeled properly (PDA vs Phone for example) and some of the labels used aren't quite descriptive enough. If Samsung had expected Odin to be used by the end customer (even those that are "smarter" than the ones who would use Kies), it would be labeled properly and be a lot more idiot proof. Samsung wouldn't take the legal liability by releasing a product that can "brick" your phone as easily as Odin can if used improperly.

I haven't seen any threads asking how to use Kies, but I've seen dozens (easily) asking how to use Odin.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Funny how you mention all the replacement devices. I asked a customer rep and he said the Vibrant was just taken off the backorder lists. :confused:
[G Tablet Accessories] pimpmaneaton:
Hey everyone I just have a quick idea that I wanted to shoot around and see if you all think it is a good idea or not. We have all seen the privacy screen protectors that limit the viewing angle. But what about one that reverses that and actually increases the viewing angle. Possibly solve the only major flaw that I seen that the G Tab has.
[G Tablet Accessories] nunjabusiness:
LOL, be sure and tell us when you figure out the physics behind that little bit of magic..
[G Tablet Accessories] geoffreywolter:
Yup, something tells me screen manufacturers have already put a hefty amount of R&D into such a solution and come up empty handed.
[G Tablet Accessories] TheTruth:
remove the polarization filter from the lcd panel and replace (but the manufacturer would've already put the best possible filter for our lcd, stuff is cheap)... decided to somewhat resurrect this and make a PSA - you cannot just remove the polarizing layer and call it a day - you would need to replace it with a film capable of culminating the light and redirecting it in such a fashion that it still allows an image to be displayed proper.

however, the viewing angles of the lcd are what they are and the polarizing layer is created thusly... sort of dead in the water and why nobody pursued this
[G Tablet Accessories] pimpmaneaton:
Has this been sucessfully done on the G Tab?

My HTC weather widget is not showing the name of my location. It shows the right temp for the area, but instead of the name of the city, it just says "Current Location"

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klquicksall:
Same thing happened to me. If you put more than one city in it will do that or put a city name. Go into the settings and use gps location and not a city name. Also take the widget off of the screen and reinstall it. This worked for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Go into settings/ language and keyboard. if you are running miks it will say (HD) English, tap that and then tap English. If you are running another rom just make sure you select English (United States) and presto your city name will be back. This will stick through a regular reboot but it won't stick if you wipe cach anc davlik and you will have to change it to English again.

Hope this helps.

Uninstall HTC-ProvXml-Deploy0.0.1.

Reset device and go to Config -> WiFi. But the "ardrone_076474" network isn't in the list.

Is there another way, like changing register or similar.

just to be sure, is your ad-hoc network recognized by other devices?

Have you tried using a different security protocol on the ad-hoc device or using a network key?

anyone got good news about adhoc on windows phone ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perlnx:
I got the alternate way to connect my HD7 direct with my laptop by use application call "Connectify".

It can transform your wireless card to be "Virtual Access Point" (not Ad-Hoc) with specific device and specific driver.

As you can see in my picture,

I use ALFA usb adapter (RTL8187) to received the internet signal,

and use Intel wireless 1000 in my laptop to broadcast virtual wireless out with the WPA2-PSK Access Point, so it's work like charm, I have my connected client with the 90:21 mac-address that's value from HTC :)

Finally i got my adhoc network working with my wp7 phone.

my wireless adapter does not support access point mode. so i created an open network. it was detected by my phone but i could not connect to it. every time i tried it gave me an error message. but what i accidentally found out is that if you switch on wifi on the phone and and suddenly remove the battery and switching the phone on after reinserting the battery it would connect the phone to the wifi adhoc network. i can browse web via wifi just fine. also for that the battery should be charged adequately.

i also dont know whethr it damages the phone.

Hi friends. I am not sure, if it is a property of WP 7.5 or Dynamics 2 ROM. My HTC7Pro does not see Android 1.6 (HTC Tattoo) wifi tethered internet (by one click root + Android Wifi Tether application). But, when I set Statical IP address + subnet mask + gate + DNS (necessary, for example 8.8.8.8 or the same as gate or provider dependent) in WiFi WP7 settings and add SSID manually ("Advanced" ...

While there have been mentions of using the Atrix with several docks time and again, I haven't been able to find this info: Does the Atrix have the phone mirroring capability

without any docks

- using just a HD cable, like the Optimus 2x has been shown capable of doing. And if it does, can we use the phone as a controller while playing games like Raging Thunder or Dungeon Defenders like seen in the 2x
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricethief:
I would assume it does with the hdmi out, if it is locked down I am sure someone will figure ou how to unlock it.

I am pretty sure it will work without one though. The dock seems to add the option to use other periphals like mouse and keyboard
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoli412:
I thought I saw somewhere that the docks are just a convenience thing, meaning you can just plop the phone in w/o worrying about connecting a bunch of cables. Couldn't you connect an HDMI cable and a USB hub directly to the phone and get the same options of putting it into webtop mode or multimedia mode? I would assume so because a lot of the CES videos show you being able to navigate both modes with the phone screen acting as a touchpad/keyboard if you don't have an actual mouse/keyboard attached.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdurina:
hmm...the main reason why this question came to my mind was cuz of the fact that all the hands-on video demos I've seen so far seem to show a "webtop" or other special interfaces when connected to HDMI out. Was wondering if there is just a plain mirroring of phone screen which seems quite interesting on the LG Optimus 2x
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoli412:
I think that's true, but also when in webtop mode they've shown that you can use put the phone interface full screen, so you basically are able to do what you're asking.
