[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
restoring a backup that was done using the new recovery works.. However, version 3 recovery is unable to restore backups done with older versions. Not to mention.. v3 does not install certain roms. Thank God I had the sense to backup my rom immediately after rom manager prompted me to uprgade to v3 recovery. That is the only backup that I am able to restore (since the backup was done with v3).

I am in the process of downgrading to 2.5.1.2 thru rom manager and seeing if my older nandroids work.

update: yep.. restoring nandroids with 2.5.1.2 works.. so was installing another rom successful with the older recovery. As of now, I am staying clear of v3
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
For those (including me) whom can't get 3.0.0.5 to complete a backup, I would like you to try swapping out your sdcard. I personally have a transcend 8gb class 6 and am trying to find the old 2gb that came with the phone, but if someone else can swap out the card I'd love to hear the results.

The problem in identifying this problem is that a recovery is relatively immune to "user error." You either have the recovery installed, or you don't. The sdcard is one of the few things I can think of that we do have control over.

I've even done a complete RUU and started over from scratch with no luck. I've deleted and recreated all of the partitions on the phone with no luck.

Can someone please link me to Clockworkmod 2.5.1.4. The new one doesn't work for me and ROM manager won't install an older version.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
Thanks, good to know.. I did not try that. After restoring worked I deleted the ROM I backed up on the old recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
in rom manager you need to scroll down to 2.5.1.2 under "earlier versions of recovery" (paraphrasing here).. the other versions don't seem to install..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertMaurizio:
For us Incredible users, there is no harm in staying with the old clockworkmod 2.5. It gets the job done. You can still flash newer roms like CM7 and of course all of your old favorites (Virtuous, SkyRaider, Warm, Revolution). In fact, it might even be better for most users to wait on it for a while until more roms are updated to ensure compatibility.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanijelDesire:
The story goes like this:

I have a Desire and today saw a local Ad where a guy sells a Htc Desire Z stuck at boot after upgrading. Thats the only info provided.

Now, the price is around 160 euros or 222 us dollars.

I have lots of experience with root/s-off from the Desire and anything with that shouldn't be a problem.

My questions are:

Is there a way to brick this phone?

Can it be somehow unbricked?

If the guy tried to update the phone to the latest one, can i root it then or downgrade it perhaps and root then?

Thank you very much whoever answers this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Well hopefully some brighter folks than I can ellucidate whether it is possible to get out of a bootloop.

What I can offer however is my opinion on the purchase overall. $222USD is a good chunk of change. If there's a chance that it is not recoverable, I don't think it would be worth the gamble. Now if it were the nearly unbrickable Vibrant or something, I'd say go for it.

I bought my G2 in near mint condition for $275.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
It all depends, Is it S-off? Does he have a custom recovery installed? Can you boot into Hboot and then into recovery(Clockworkmod Recovery)? If so then you probably can install a rom on the sdcard and flash them from recovery.

If its in a boot loop with S-on I would not touch it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiko36:
Boot loop with S-ON means it still has Nand protection which means you can't do shiz with it. I do have a little story though.

Bought a G1 off craigslist and shortly after the screen started acting wonky so I said what the hell and called Tmo. Explained the problem and hoped theyd have some pointers since the G1 was new and resources like this didn't exist at the time. They ended up being able to look up the phone and determined it still had warranty time left on the device so they exchanged it for me. Sometimes warranty carries over with phones. I'd call Tmo before I bought though and have them go ahead and send me a refurb then go buy the bootlooped one and send it back.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanijelDesire:
Supposedly he tried to install a different ROM which implies that he's rooted.

That should be fixable then, right?

Or is s-off really necessary for the Z?

UPDATE:

he just lowered the price to around 100 euros.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I actually just did something similar. I bought a used G2 that was in perfect physical working order but with physical blemishes etc. and was about 3months old. About a week later dust started to accumulate under the screen. Even though the phone was used and I was on a EM+ plan with no contract and I didnt purchase the phone from a T-mo store, they still replaced it for free. More of a statement about how great T-mo support is than anything, but I think its interesting that they will support the device even though its used.

Now anything more than this is quite borderline not very ethical depending on who you ask, but I wouldn't really feel like buying a bootlooped phone just to try and send it back to T-mo and claim you don't know what happened. If that was very possible then the guy that currently has the phone would probably have done that already...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanijelDesire:
Yeah, i bought it.

The problem is/are it won't boot or turn on at all.

I'll send it to the repair shop to see if anything can be done.

And guess what.

Do you remember when the HTC vision/g2/desire z got leaked?

loving the 2.3 Gingerbread keyboard. lol, but i feel stupid, i wanna give Swype a chance finally, but do i get it on the market? it doesn't show up...
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
Ive tried many k/b's over the years, on the windows platform as well.

Swiftkey is quite good, Touchpal was great on Windows and as many have mentioned Swype is good but on the Android platform, esp the more recent 2.15 version, its not as accurate as it used to be especially when you swype fast.

I find Slideit v3.0 much faster. On windows. Swype was much better but on Android, Slideit is more accurate, you dont have to bother with double circling for double letters and there are more languages supported etc. The cool feature i like about it is it can learn abbreviations not just words so you can slide the letters eml for instance and this can be your email address etc. Also like the suggested words appear on top of the keyboard in a single line for easier faster tapping like most keyboards, why Swpye insist on having it above in some floating section beats the hell out of me lol.

v3.0 also allows you to slide and tap during words. ie/ for the word accommodation or whatever, you can slide accom and then tap the rest and vice versa.

Downside is Slideit looks boring, i dont think they have ever released a new skin lol.

Not affiliated with any keyboard blah blah, just my opinion.

I was a fan of this for a while too, but the dictionary will give you so many suggestions for your "traced (swiped)" word. It got really annoying, it would be better if it could learn common phrases and such to give you the right word the first time. SLIDEIT and flext9 are the best swiping keyboards. Flex is probably better since you can switch to tapping easily. Ultra keyboard has so much potential though... if a real v6 came out for that... I would be psyched.

As for regular keyboards, I use smart keyboard and I love it. I tried the latest swiftkey beta and its also really good but I prefer waiting for an official release.

People seem to be glorifying Slideit so I tried it. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of it. I also downloaded the Gingerbread keyboard. And I will say, I really like it. They keys are a bit smaller, but it isn't producing a problem for me. On the stock keyboard, when in landscape, I had a tendency to hit the "." Instead of space which irritated me. I don't seem to do that on the gingerbread keyboard.

netarchy-toastmod 4.3 cfs-nonhavs-noUV-sbc is what i want to use on my phone, because i heard it was good for my siedeo 3500 batt.

my question is is this a stable version now?

do i still have to downgrade nv and pri?

I am using stock htc 15 now and know its not charging my batt all the way

I have tried a lot of kernels already just not this one and I know I could buy and external charger or use a backup batt. but if this kernel works that would be great, I know I don't want HAVS or colin batt tweak.

So what do you guys think is this a good kerenl? is it the best version without havs. and will it charge my siedo 3500mah batt.

Thank You

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I don't think 4.3 was ever a "stable release," the stable is 4.3.1. I have run that kernel with no issues, but I mostly use 4.3.2 CFS or Ziggy's 012111. You're going to get mixed answers on sbc though. I have excellent results from following these instructions to get my battery to last longer without using SBC:

1. Charge till at 100% and the light turns green.

2. Unplug until the light comes off and turn off the phone.

3. Plug the cable in until the light comes on and turns green.

4. Unplug until the light goes off

5. Repeat 4 and 5 a total of 10x

If you do that, your battery will stay at 100% longer. Mine took about 15min to loose 1% the first time I did it.

You might also want to boot into recovery after the first time you do this and wipe battery stats, then let the battery run allllll the way down. After doing this, even if you don't do the above every time, it may drop initially once off the charger to 95% or so, but it should last MUCH longer on idle. But if you want it to last longer at 100%, you have to follow the above steps.

I have gotten about the same results with most Kernels using this method. Net's are certainly good, however, no one can tell you what kernel is best for you as every phone is different. I would dl a few different versions of Net's (4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.3, etc) in whatever config you want (no havs) and start with the newest one. If that doesn't work, go one version older and stop once you find one that provides performance you're happy with.

Sorry if any of this doesn't make sense. I'm tired and I have been proof reading crap all day so I'm not about to read this again.
