So you need to find how entering in the gpad recovery menu !!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rvdveer:
Hi tried the firmware link, unfortunately still no touch. I wonder what has gone wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zaxxio:
Hi, I disassembled it extremely carefully. Indeed as granaten commented, the homebutton+30pin+sound connector was not connected.

I would swear that I didn't touch absolutely anything else, but the fact is the Gpad won't power on again... I have checked all the connections and all seem correct but the Gpad seems dead. Has any other one who has opened the Gpad such an issue?

Many thanks!

First thread updated. Added 3 methods of booting into recovery mode. Please confirm/deny.

To all: Please compare the internal pictures of timon.mtv and furtwangen (both in the first thread at the bottom) -> totally different devices? Different screen, ram, NAND....?

:/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
Please report if you can flash with my rom.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iloveei:
I wish I could :)

Again first thread updated, Added some vids.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] granaten:
Zaxxio, make sure that all cables are connected.

The black cable connecting the screen is particulary tricky, because it will fall out easily and without it the device will not power on!

You can power on the unit while its open, i had the same problem as you.

Try connecting all cables, then pushing the reset button and then start the device by pressing the button for about 2 seconds, sometimes it takes more than one press to power on, its like it has a will of its own!

All I have been workign on a new rom for the GPad as well :D. So far I have got the following working:

Boot animation working

System boots in english

upgraded the GMail client to the latest version

Google maps

Google street view

Got the new market working (some apps still don't show though :-(

Flash installed :-)

The ROM is not quite ready for public consumption yet. You have to install it with the MFGTool and currently you will lose all your settings. I am working on getting the Setup to run correctly right now. Currently it hangs after you configure your WIFI settings and enter your email address. This is Froyo based but some good progress has been made today, now the wife wants to see me out of the office so work for today has stopped.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bunheadnux:
@nicosime and others that keep wanting to boot into recovery mode. The gpad (at least the one I have) does not have a recovery mode in the sense that Android powered phones have a recovery mode. The only way to get new firmware on the devices is to do it via the MFGTool. To access the GPads "recovery" mode you press the volume down (menu key) and the power key (1/2 second is enough time, I have not found there to be a difference in holding the power key and menu key for longer to give any different results. The only way at this point to talk to the device is to use the MFGTool. When I put the GPad into "recovery" mode and I try to look at it in either OSX or Linux I just see it as a USB "elvis" device and I can't talk to it in any meaningful way. So far the only way I have found to monkey with this thing is by playing with the contents of the system.img file.

Your mileage may vary but that is my findings so far.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] granaten:
Well Ive tried to boot into recovery, but everytime it gives me a black screen and the device fails to power on, even after using the reset button.

The only successful way to flash seems to be on an xp-machine with mfgtool provided with the pandawill firmware.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
Hello my friend,

Good news to know that you cook rom too !

How is your rom cooked ( a zip file ? or directly an img file ?)

I cannot test my rom because I don"t have ordered the tab, but i will port gingerbread on this device, i'm IT engineere !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zaxxio:
Hi granaten, I double checked all connections, pushed the reset with a clip, pushed the power button several times for several seconds but nothing happens. Furthermore the internal piece that makes contact with the external power button is loose and it can only be powered on with the Gpad open. Overall very bad luck.

I tried to fix it myself in order not to send it to China but I think the only way to have it repaired is is sending it back to Pandawill although the warranty is void. Let's see what solution they propose. What is clear is that the tablet ai received was defective: no homebutton, no 30-pin, no sound, faulty charger...

Fyi I will keep you updated about Pandawill's behaviour in this kind of situations...

Kind regards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bunheadnux:
There is currently no way that I know of to install a ROM on the GPad with a zip file, so that only leaves a system.img file. I could be wrong though. I would DEARLY LOVE a real recovery.img file for these units. I hate having to use the MFGTool to install roms on this system.

I am currently working on a modified ucl.xml file to allow me to keep user data when updating roms.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nicosime:
Thank you for your experience, Bunhead. So what do you think (according to your findings) about using MFGTool on a bricked Gpad?

What do you think about copying stock image into internal SD-Card (after opening the back shell)?? Is it possible, according to you?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
So we need to find a way to flash the gpad with a zip file if i understand....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nicosime:
yep... and this stands for "creating a recovery rom"!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
It's possible to edit the system.img, but we cannot make heavy modifications....

The better way is to doing a zip file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
I have booted my linux distribution.

I will try to unpack, modify and repack directly the system.img, so it could be possible to flash with mfgtool ! Stay tuned !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] granaten:
Goodie, looking forward to trying some custom roms! =)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
I have opening the system.img file and i'm able to add/remove the apk ( packages).

In order to make a new rom with heavy modification we need to be able to flash by zip.

SO....we need to find a way to flash by zip !

** Gingerbread rom **

***********************

I have tried to build a gingerbread rom for the gpad.

This rom is, like the gpad firmware, flashable by MFGTOOL !

Here is the link for the GingerBread (Android 2.3 )test rom for the gpad gforce :

http://www.multiupload.com/KB2A6HW6V6
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] florisl:
I'm following this process with great interest! I'll help test the roms when my gpad arrives.

Do these ROMS include a working android market? or a working google account? Or is that not possible whatshowever / possible but later in the Rom-cooking-proces?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nixeus:
I don't have my Gpad for the moment. But the Gpad Gforce is Android Market licensed, so, installing the android Market is not a problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Hi...

Yesterday i've installed cwm 3.x.x.x and flashed cm nightly build #18. Today i've downgraded the cwm cause i couldn't get any connection to my dhd with the neew recovery (fastboot commands just came back with an error i can't remember atm). The downgrade was flashed through terminal emu, code:flash_image recovery /sdcard/clockwork-recovery2.1.5.3.img and went fine. I then changed the splashscreen through fastboot as i have before and no problem here. Then i desided to make my own splash in gimp and when i tried to flash that it failed and wouldn't write and now i have this error in cwm:

E:can't mount cache:recovery/command

E:can't mount cache:recovery/log

E:can't open cache:recovery/log

I've tried to flash back to cwm 3.x.x.x through terminal emu and then use rom manager to flash 2.1.5.3, but still same issue when booting into cwm and still a fail when trying to flash splashscreen (and yes the cwm changes beween flashes in terminal, green 2.1.5.3, orange 3.x.x.x)

Is it because off cm7 build #18 that i can't use cwm 2.1.5.3 to flash through fastboot.

I havn't tried another rom like leedroid to see if that changes, i'm a tad afraid that it won't wipe nor flash cause of this error and hence brick my phone.

I've got a nandroid from the beginning of this month, but thats a cwm 2.1.5.3 backup, can that be restored in cwm 3.x.x.x?

Ohh cuold it be that i've morphed some icons plus FM radio skin?

Any help is welcome :D

TIA Dousan... Aka Martin...

e:the error i get when flashing splash1 with fastboot:

writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

e2: Fixed the splash1 error - image had the wrong dimensions... :S
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
CWM 2.x cannot access ext4 partitions, so whilst you've got gingerbread on there it will throw up all kinds of errors, you should be good to restore a cwm 2.x backup with cwm 3.x but you will have problems restoring the whole backup as cwm 3.x can't write /boot at present
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Cheers mate, thanks for the answer... Had a feeling it might be something with the new ext4...

Just weird i could flash one splashscreen today after reverting to cwm 2.1.5.3?

Will stay with the new CM7 builds, really nice and smooth :)

Anyway was just afraid of bricking the phone if did have to restore a nandroid.

So it's the same story with the fastboot commands or what, not working with ext4?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
shouldn't think so, certainly fastboot is working fine for me on cm7
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Lol, noob me i was trying to flash a corrupt splashscreen (not the right dimensions) :rolleyes: all fixed and the fastboot commands works for me aswell :D

Back on track... Thanks again for your help ;)
[Android Apps and Games] handsomeboy1702:
Hi everybody. I'm running CM6 on my milestone. So far I've been very pleased with it. Yet, I really like the MIUI lockscreen, which beautifully gives you direct access to phone and messaging. Can someone port that lockscreen to CM? Or is there anyway I can have something like that, except from using widgetlocker, which is kind of ugly to me? Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] geevee11:
If you're using CM, there's an option to have that. just go to CM settings, then input settings. Check the option for phone and messaging under 'lockscreen settings'. Just don't use rotary as your locksreen style.

anybody?
[Android Apps and Games] renster721:
I asked this a while back, and some folks told me that the miui lockscreen was built into the miui framework and therefore unable to be ported to other roms.

That's most likely still the case. You should just install miui, its a great rom.

Or You Can Just Use Gestures

Which In My Opinion Is Better

I have this HTC HD2 and after i flashed a stock Rom and updated my rom again this occurred. Every time I turn on the Phone I am stuck at the Boot loader screen and I have no way to reverse it. My SPL states that I am on 3.03 but there are certain numbers missing from the top of the screen. I have tried to flash the Rom many times after and every time it reaches 2% the phone restarts and i get invalid Vendor ID, please see the screenshot. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killahkid:
my most important question is if the Phone is bricked and nothing can be done:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Could have been a bad flash indeed.

But, the good news is that in most cases, as long as you get into the bootloader, you can get in working again.

"Invalid vendor ID" means that the ROM you tried to flash was not made for your HD2. In case you have a branded device, you must flash the ROM which was made for your operator, if it´s a free device, you must flash an HTC ROM.

You now need to find the proper ROM for your device and flash it through the SD card method, this will re-flash SPL as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:

I am on a rooted Samsung Vibrant running Froyo and CWM 2.5.1.2. I cannot boot into CWM's recovery. I tried flashing CWM again and again, but I didn't work. I tried reinstalling packages at least 5 times and nothing. I just boot into the normal recovery. It worked the very first time I tried it, right after I rooted it and I installed CWM for the first time, then I had to reinstall packages twice. I used super-one-click to root my phone. I am using the latest version of busybox. I have given ROM Manager superuser access. I reinstalled ROM Managed. I deleted the clockworkmod folder and update.zip and installed CWM again. I have tried re-rooting twice with no success. What's the problem? It worked the very first time I rooted. But why not now?
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
I have this happen from time to time with ROM Manager....I just go clear down to the bottom and install an older version...say 2.5.1.1, hit reboot into recovery and it does, and then I update back to 2.5.1.2 and it will work after that on the newer version

How do you feel abt voodoo?? You can install one of Supercurios kernels with voodoo and it will give you CWM recovery and root
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:

It is in my internal SD. It's at /update.zip It added that every time I downloaded CWM. Should I Odin back to the stock 2.2?

So I did a total n00b thing earlier and after flashing the KA7+Voodoo kernal onto my phone I effing reformatted my internal SD (reason in doing that was because I was going to enable the system lagfix aswell which was telling me BS about not enough space) there are a few more things that went along with that but nothing important. I've tried going back to stock, repartioning with several roms including stock KA7 trying to get my phone bast the Galaxy S screen. So it either goes to that then black or it loops in recovery mode saying "your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"

I've tried that and still nothing.... So lol any suggestions?
