[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serenith:
Double streak of bad luck. I can't get Fastboot to work on both a WinXP 32bit pc and a Vista 64bit pc. I have a vanilla Android 1.6 unrooted baseband 7921 locked with Rogers canada.

Before you ask, yes I did follow the guides to the letter :

-Installed the latest PC Suite on both computers.

-Installed the latest Drivers from Dell.

-Remove the DS battery, wait a minute, reinsert.

-Get the DS to go in Fastboot mode "Waiting for USB ...", wait 10 seconds then plug it in the PC.

And here is where I get 2 different behaviors :

-On the XP laptop, I can't "Update" the Android 1.0 driver to "Android Bootloader Interface". It simple is not in the list. At all ! Not under Google inc, neither can it be found with "I have the disk" and looking in the install directory of the Dell driver pack. My 2 choises are "Android ADB Composite Interface" and "Android ADB Interface" , none of which will allow me to connect trough fastboot. That is, even though the DS displays "Fastboot_mode", typing "fastboot.exe devices" returns nothing and "fastboot reboot" waits in an infinit loop.

-On the Vista PC, I can get one step further : I can update the "Android ADB Interface" that's automatically installed to "Android Bootloader Interface" (YES!). The DS then shows "Fastboot_mode" BUT NADA. Same as before, "fastboot.exe devices" returns nothing and "fastboot.exe reboot" waits in an infinit loop. Rebooting the PC or the DS doesn't help.

I've tried every usb port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything multiple times. I've tried the PC Suite package on the DS' memory card. And i've spent half a day on modaco / xda-dev /pocketable / mydellmini / streaksmart, the other half on google. No luck.

The last thing I didn't try yet is to install the Android SDK in hope that there's a secret driver in there to make it all work. Is it even worth trying ?

Anyone stuck in my position ?

Edit : I forgot to say that using -i doesn't work neither:

C:\streak>fastboot -i 0x413 reboot

< waiting for device >

^C

C:\streak>
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serenith:
Problems seems to be solved on the second try after I changed the compatibility mode of fastboot.exe to Windows XP SP2 :

C:\streak>fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

rebooting...

C:\streak>

Title:

fastboot boot problem

Post #7

I can get it to reboot if I issue the command from a certain folder on the PC, but nothing else.

I want to do a nandroid backup of my stock setup before I change anything.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellojoe:
My recommendation, david1212, is to go to StreakDroid.com and click on Guides. Follow the guides on that page.

I did, and thats how I got mine working perfectly. Follow everything exactly (even putting the folder STREAK on my C:\ drive), I even reflashed the amss, then I just replaced the ROM 1.7.0 instead of the 1.6.0 that the instructions reference.

Also, I recommend using the StreakMod version of Clockwork recovery. It is also mentioned in the guide. It works flawlessly for me.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serenith:
I saw your post David, but as I say in the second post of this thread, the problem with fastboot seemed to solve itself once I change the compatibility mode to "windows XP SP2". Of course, that only works on my computer that was able to install "Android Bootloader Interface" driver. My XP laptop does not find that driver anywhere and therefore, fastboot doesn't work on it.

I did not install the Android SDK, I only used the fastboot.exe packaged with Clockworkmod Recovery 1.8.1.7 linked in the pdf guide.

Solving the fastboot problem did not fix everything though. I have started another thread with my new problem : I can flash CWM recovery 1.8.1.7, or 2.5.0.1, or even Streakmod recovery 0.32.x, but only CWM 1.8.1.7 is loadable : I get to a menu with nothing responding except the Reboot button. The other 2 load to a blank screen.

mellojoe : I'll probably do just that, going the QDL tool way. But first, I want to know : Does upgrading android 2.2 have any effect of the problems I get with both recovery tools ? If I can't use streakmod recovery now on stock 1.6 bb7921, what are the chances it will work on android 2.2 pre-release ? I wish I had a back-up of my stock system if the upgrade route goes sour.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellojoe:
Good luck. I hope it works out. I hate that you are struggling.

Nothing fancy, but heres the newest Launcher Pro apk, 0.8.3, for gingerbread. If you're like me, the "preferences" and "notifications" bothered you when pressing menu on the homescreen, as they were left over from froyo. Want a fix? Well thats why you're here.

You'll need to uninstall your current lp install, so remember to back up if you need to =P

Throw it on your SD card and install with your favorite file explorer.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Robert's PDA:
Okay guys & gals, is this possible? Yes, I know, I know, it would be really slow. But slow is better than none at all. A lot of people are at 70-80% right after boot! There has GOT to be a way around this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ericino:
I have 88.47MB/187.61MB free after boot.

I'm not loading a lot of things on boot, basically just ACR and WiMoSpeed.

If you don't have enough free memory, perhaps you could try using a different ROM?

Unfortunately I don't know any way to use other memory as RAM, would indeed be interesting :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Not possible. Guys, do you have a clue how slow this would be? Not to mention the technical difficulties.

Try a more memory friendly ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Like yours, right? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Robert's PDA:
BUMP:rolleyes:

Exactly, the ROM that you're using is of course the "best" or at least "better" because it's the one that YOU use. The ROM that you have is the one that you want to use, you use it because that's what YOU want to use, what YOU use is NOT right for everyone else. That's why there are so many flavors out there.

But that's off topic, this is NOT about changing ROMs, this thread is about finding a way to have more system resources available with the ROM you ALREADY have and love.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
I didn't say that, you know ;] As always I recommend simplicity by seem_ZA.

If you're using a special rom that you do not want to change (stock for example, because of warranty) there are several tweaks to lower the ram usage. Disable resproxy, push internet, lower the cache... Plenty of options. If you don't know where to start I can provide you the corresponding registry entries or even a cab file for easiest possible install.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] erickzonoliva:
:)

you're right I would love to do that :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Robert's PDA:
Alright Jackos, put em' on the glass baby. The Registry tweaks & the cabs that will do the tweaks for you. That's a start, I'm sure that would help a lot of users.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
Hello :)

I've thought of the possibility to change the Splash screen of my nexus S,

but i have no idea how, on my Hero it was really easy.

does someone know how could that work?

would be nice to change that. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
By splash screen do you mean the Nexus S animation, or the "Google" word when the phone first turns on.

The boot animation is changed the same way as the Nexus One's and many other phones are, just make a properly formatted bootanimation.zip and put it in the proper directory. There's plenty of guides on doing this across the xda forums.

The "Google" word we talked about in another thread a while back. No one reported being able to locate it. I suspect it's in the bootloader itself, but way beyond my skills to validate that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
i meant the "google" screen, but like you said its not easy to locate where it is.

but maybe some dev could find out where it is and how to change it :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
so, i tried a bit and searched and..found really nothing about it yet.

only a video but it seems to be a fake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clKd8M_fhEI

because the opened lock is gone when his "splash" screen apears.

i need to look into the bootloader/SPL or need to know how the partition in there is named and what the splash-file format is.

does someone know how i'm able to do this? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi guys,

I know that the "screen filter" app exists,

but would anyone be willing to code an app that

basically inverts ALL colors (or white to a dark grey) on screen ?

I don't know if it's supported at all by the android APIs but perhaps someone has an idea how to do it

this would save HUGE AMOUNTS of energy when reading

e.g. PDF files with only text in them

or browsing on lots of sites with also only have a white background and (little) dark text

this is especially applicable to those devices using AMOLED displays such as the Samsung Galaxy S (I own one)

If you'd be willing to code it for the community - that would be great

if you'd need some donation - that will be OK, too

I'm sure others would join, too, since that app really would help to get a much longer battery runtime in those usage cases

Many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
I'm not sure

but I think I found what I was looking for:

IDEAL Magnifier

nope - only for camera-input

it's getting close

anyone knows of an app that can invert the screen's content ?

otherwise it should be still correctly place in "development" subforum

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
@boarder.2k9, ickyboo:

I think the problem is - that this is quite a very interesting topic (much potential)

and perhaps devs also might be willing to do it

but they are hesitant because it's some more work than the usual "hey - this music app doesn't include these features - let's code a new one"

a bounty (called "donation" in the post above) might make it (especially the whole-screen invert app) much more attractive to code I believe

if that's possible from Android's side, that is

it might be the case that it'll only work with CyanogenMod due to some pretty deep changes to the system

I'm not really coding much - I'm more the kind of linux-distro kernel patchset guy so I have no clear idea what requirements might be needed for this "stunt"

Bump! As I just posted on the thread in the general Android forum, :

I very much want this, too! Not only would it be great for night time viewing and amoled power savings, but it would also provide some wear leveling/un-burn-in effects for the notification bar, keyboards, etc.! Say you use the inverted mode 50% of the time, it would completely counter burn-in from the other 50%.

Please, someone, do it and I'll pay handsomely. I'll pitch in $20 to a bounty, anyways.

It should be almost as easy as CyanogenMod's render effects or Chainfire 3D's night mode. If they can take each pixel's intended color, calculate that minus green and blue, and output the result, they should be able to take the color, calculate the inverse, and output that, instead. I'm not a programmer, though, so I may be off base.

I tried a couple different ways and just get an error in recovery. I am obviously missing something so if anybody could point me in the right direction or give any help it would be greatly appriciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulbos:
You are trying to help him enable root access on his phone, right?

Well, if that's the case, there are more than one ways of doing that.

Flashing a new kernel that has been already modified to provide root access, like CF-Root or Speedmod kernel, using ODIN, will do the trick.

You could also accomplish that by following an “one-click” rooting process, found here.

The latter one uses a method called “rageagainstthecage” which can be used even manually, using adb.

Should you need any directions, let us know :)

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonkers71:
Thank you. Worked straight away. I searched and searched and all the ones i tried did not work.

Now i have another problem maybe you could help. I was using cwm as that is what i am used to with my dhd and when i flash the recovery it says it has worked but when i do a backup and try to go into cwm i just get the standard recovery.

Anyideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulbos:
I seem to have some issues getting your point...Which recovery are you trying to flash?

And what is the standard one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonkers71:
Clockwork Mod. this is what i am trying to install. Unless there is a better one for i9000. as i said it is what i am used to with dhd.

The standard one is just the one that you get into with the 3 buttons as it loads. I am using rom manager and trying to make a backup before we install rom and it starts to reboot the phone into recovery like it should but i just get the standard 3 button recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulbos:

At no point during steps 7,7,8 can you let the phone boot into the os... everyone is getting screwed up with this (including me). the op should have pointed this out. something in dl09 doesn't let you boot into cw the old way. flash cw via odin, then stock recovery update zip, then boot into cw, then flash froyo, then flash new cw. Confusing I know, someone around here explained it better.

Ok, yeah, what I did was flashed CW then let the phone boot up. I'll give your way a shot

It worked! You rock! I flashed CW with Odin, then immediately unplugged it, put the battery back in, held down the volume button and power button, applied updatezip, and got the CW menu!
