[myTouch 4G General] TrueBlue_Drew:
you are sending the fastboot commands while in the bootloader right? I would imagine you are but I just want to make sure.
[myTouch 4G General] danger-rat:
What errors are you getting?
[myTouch 4G General] dumbkkid:
Yes I've done fastboot when in bootloader.

when i write the command to erase the system it says

"system erase error" or somethinmg similar. it doesnt really show the reason.. lol
[myTouch 4G General] danger-rat:
Sorry, I thought we were talking about how to restore stock recovery so you could send your phone back under warranty?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
Ok guys i am sorry to bother all of you but i made a stupid mistake. i think i didnt slept well.

So instead of wiping out my SD Card in recovery mode, something got into me to wipe the misc,recovery,data,cache and everything!

I have access to FASTBOOT and the info is as follows:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP100000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

version-main: 2.16.707.3

Is there any method i can unbrick my phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Goldcard.

Or setup ANDROIDSDK, put the custom recovery in the tools folder, open a command prompt there and type "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" and reflash your ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
thanks for the advice i will try it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
hi it would seem that i can find a recovery image here >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and install it.

i can get to home + power = clockwork mod recover v 2.5.0.1

i can install a zip from sdcard but after reboot it still shows the HTC Magic screen!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
ok if i remember what i did wrongly this is what i did

in partitions i:

format boot

format system

format dat

format cache

format sdcard

format sd-ext

after this i can still get into recovery. can my phone be saved?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Yes it can... easy :0)

1) download CM 6.1 ROM from here: http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip

2) Also download the EBI1 kernel from here: http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip

3) Restart into recovery

4) wipe ALL <- important

5) flash the ROM

6) flash the EBI1 kernel

7) reboot and you should be OK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
thanks! i will give it a try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
hi i am able to boot into this rom. but this rom is not quite usable. it doesnt have a market place and all. what do i do with this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Sorry, i forgot about the gapps :0)

gapps = google applications

Flash this from recovery:

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip

You should now have a fully funtional rom by CyanogenMod(CM)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
thanks so much for the help. one thing i notice is that the clorkwerk recovery couldnt be installed properly.

what is a more stable ROM that you should advise that i use for long term?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
There are many options to chose from.

You got the 32A board - CPLD-12.

You can use the new radio / old radio combos to chose from many different roms.

But to stick to your original problem, i think the main problem was that you did not wipe correctly causing the new rom to fail.

Always remember to wipe when installing a new rom unless it known to be "upgradable" from earlier versions/roms.

I will read around the forums and have a look at the development section for other roms.

For the old radio combo which you currently have, i will dare to claim that the CM 6.1 is the best choice!

But again, i bet that there are many willing to dispute that postulation :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ngliphong:
hi mumilover, i am sorry for the noob question but when u say wipe what do you mean specifically?

because i did a :

format boot

format system

format dat

format cache

format sdcard

format sd-ext

am i suppose to wipe that much things? i suppose system, cache and dat can wipe but should i format the boot and system?
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPrevailed YDG:
so ive been playing with this trying to remove it but when im in a text thread...

example,

John Wayne (M 1555555555) sup?

thats pretty annoying having their number next to their name.

it only does this to some people.

they only have one number as the contact.

if you have any info on this id appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I am experiencing the same thing with some of my texts. I am going to see if I can find some correlation between my contacts and the messages affected

It looks like most of the posts in this forum are for covers - should've looked here earlier.

I tend to abuse my phones pretty badly - I usually buy a case, but since the options were slim for the Focus when I bought it, I haven't had one. The other day I put the phone in my pocket with keys and the back cover took a beating.

Anyone found a place to buy a replacement back cover? I figured they would be available by now, but I haven't seen any other than one on eBay that's up to $37 at this point.

I tried calling Samsung's mobile accessories / replacement parts line, but no one seems to pick up.
[Focus Accessories] sidicious:
I have one from a focus I sold for parts. I dont know how you would want to do a transaction but id sell it for 20 dollars.
[Focus Accessories] eried:
How much for the earphones?
[Focus Accessories] JamesAllen:
Me too

I sent Samsung Support an email requesting information about ordering one and got no reply. Sent it weeks ago.
[Focus Accessories] ryan5081:
back cover

I definitely need to locate a back cover also.
[Focus Accessories] hahaomglookatjohn:
Hi guys. I too broke my back cover.

I called Samsung, and leveraged my way all the Corporate Help Center through yelling at 3 supervisors.

Samsung unfortunately are not producing back cover replacements at this time. :/

However, I went to the AT&T store and spoke to the manager. He gave me a back cover from Focus that was returned to them and said they do that all time, try that. :]
[Focus Accessories] golfer0659:
I saw some back covers on sale on ebay for around $20
[Focus Accessories] JamesAllen:
EBAY

Search on EBAY for "Samsung I917 Battery Cover" and you will find a vendor with used, refurbished and new covers ranging from $19.99 - $29.99.

I am aware that Android being Linux based doesn't suffer from all the malware of other devices but with so much personal information being kept in our smart devices it is only a matter of time before less than savory individuals attempt ways to separate us from ourselves so..

I am interested in your experiences with FREE antivirus products. Personal opinions.. ones you have tried.. how secure you think they are. I am only interested in the anti-virus portion of these apps. Not really interested in the backup portions. Perhaps if they offer free secure remote data wipe that would be of interest in the future.

I currently use Lookout Mobile Security but not totally secure with it due to such a limited amount of threats. It is why I am asking for personal opinions and personal preferences so more of us can make better choices to protect our favorite toy.

Of interest would be NetQin due to their experience and experience with other phones.. mostly Symbian.

AVG's version due to their experiences with anti-virus but I have heard of issues where their desktop version failed to identify virus or malware.

And also BluePoint Antivirus and their entry into protecting Android OS. BluePoint seems to be a solid antivirus provider but the reviews for the android device have been less than favorable.

There is also Dr.Web and MyMobile Protection of which I have no clue

Antivirus Free by creative apps appears to have built and designed by an individual an not a company so I am not sure of the trustworthiness of this app although alot have downloaded it.

I would expect them all to scan as apps are downloaded and installed. Most seem to be cloud based scanners.

Your opinion is appreciated..

Thanks

Amazing - 254 views

254 views and no opinions or preferences.. surely someone is using antivirus software on their gtablets?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
There are no know viruses for Linux in the wild. So what would it be scanning for? You really should be more worried about the permissions that are given when you install an app. If you rooted your device (and who hasn't), this would provide access for any malware.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] makto:
One of the things I like most about it the android platform is the permissions it presents when installing apps. There has been malware reported that exploits sms sending your bill threw the roof and lining the pockets of some foreign company. There is also reports of a Trojan that is designed for Android. It collects personal info on the phone and sends to remote servers. I completely understand that the threat is very limited but with the opportunity to collect personal data I believe it is only a matter of time before the threats increase. I am only trying to stay ahead of the curve. While most threats at the moment require a user to allow they will get more sophisticated with time. Thanks for your reply!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dispozable:
i second your worry but i think mainly we must watch on apps. maybe a sandboxing app would be nice?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lordgodgeneral:
I use DroidWall on my G Tablet. That way I can whitelist what apps have internet access and what one's don't. Best way I've found for protecting my information and malware. I've used it with pershoots kernal on vegan and on BitTrix's CM7.

For virus scan's I've used both AVG's pro version and Lookout for my tablet and my phone. AVG's did detect some settings, like it warned when it detected root, warned on some programs that use root access, and on my phone would flag some SMS's. But the tracking on AVG is pretty worthless. On my phone setting it at lost would start it tracking, but every time I tried it it would be somewhere around 5-6 miles from where I actually was. The phone lock and wipe don't work either, at least with moto droid.

Lookout's scanning only seems to report based on the permissions. The tracking on lookout is much better. The couple times I've tried reporting lost on my phone it would have a very accurate reading in a matter of 3-4 minutes.

But can't say how well they work in virus's or malware as I've never ran into any yet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] makto:
Thanks for the input.. what I was curious about.. which ones are actually looking for malware and which ones are just scanning permissions. Off to search for droidwall.. thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] makto:
Unable to use Droidwall with TnT ver4.2 due to an error I receive "can't initialize iptables table 'filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

This error message unfortunately means that your kernel does not support iptables/netfilter, so DroidWall will not work.

There is nothing I can do on DroidWall to make it work, and the only possible solution is to flash a customized ROM with netfilter support."

Kind of a disappointment - was looking forward to it
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
First off, I'm using 826X WM6.5 Rom, build (January 26th 2011, latest as of now).

I was using X1BC to make my "TAB" key emulate the CTRL key, and it worked but that was when I was using an older build of 826X's rom. Now that i'm using his newest rom, X1BC doesn't work anymore. I can't remember why but it's something to do with the newer ROM builds (not specific to 826X roms but other roms that are 29xxx or something like that).

So, I then tried to use AEButton Plus (latest version and fully registered) but that produced some problems. Sure, it works but not completely. If I register the TAB key to long key press and emulate it as the CTRL key, it'll work but even though I hold down the TAB key, the actual TAB function will still perform and I don't want that.

Also, it doesn't register every key that I tried to store, such as the Symbol or Windows key. It's hard to explain but let's just say it doesn't work completely and is annoying to use.

Lastly, I tried X1BH (updated version of X1BC) and that doesn't work either, I can't find any options to set my TAB or Windows key to emulate it as CTRL key.....

So does anyone have any suggestions?

826x rom

i use the same version of 826x rom 29007 with sense 2019.. and i can use CTRL+C or CTRL+V.. maybe some thing wrong with the sofware.. u can ask the problem to the creator of the ROm (Willyung) maybe he can help ur problem.. because everytime i has the problem with his build i alwasys ask him for solution.. just talk to him in his blog.. http://www.826x.blogspot.com/ of send him a private email.. im sure he will help you...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
thanks for the reply mate.

Hmm are you using X1BH for the CTRL+C and CTRL+V functions?? I tried downloading that rom and reflashing 3 times and still couldn't get X1BH to work, so i'm pretty sure it's not the rom problem.....

I remember reading somewhere (I think in the X1BH topic) that newer rom builds have changed something therefore X1BH doesn't work properly in some cases, so I'm sure that's the case since X1BH works fine on older rom builds....

And ya I always ask him questions on his blog as well but he never replies to me. He does reply but he's probably too busy most of the time, I guess i'm just unlucky :(

OHHHHH i know exactly what you meant, its happened to me once when I flashed a netacrchy kernel. Yea that is definately the kernel, and if you get the lines, switch your kernel. You can try savaged-zen...they work for me nicely.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Its not the recovery, its the kernel. The same kernel I run for the same rom may not work for you or vice versa cuz every phone reacts to the differently. And you need to use either a sense/aosp kernel respectively, i.e netarchy won't behave on CM7.

Here is a list of kernels you can download and try : http://home.comcast.net/~evobenchers/downloads.html

These are savaged-zen kernels only: http://mirror.munkibizness.com/

These are ziggy kernels: http://www.ziggy471.com/downloads/

[EVO Shift 4G General] Jeezimus:
OK so this only applied to file downloads unfortunately (I think) BUT,

When initiating only one file download transfer speeds for me typically average about 40 KB/s, but when I then start multiple downloads while the first is still going I've been seeing averages of about 130-150 KB/s. I've only just seen this while downloading ROMs while tethered with a 4G connection but hopefully others can try/confirm this. I use my phone for my primary internet connection so I found this very useful for downloading large files.
[EVO Shift 4G General] gtg465x:
That's pretty slow for 4G. I get speeds twice that on my 3G connection.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jeezimus:
While tethered to your computer and then downloading to the computer though? I get much faster speeds down to the phone as well, but as far as I've understood it the tethering speeds have been poor so far for the shift.

If it is while tethered, which tethering app/version are you running? I've tried wireless tether, wired tether, and easytether and all have seemed to result in the same slow results for me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] cloverdale:
Try using azilink (I have a post on this in the themes and apps section), it is a USB tether which is free, open source, and gives me download speeds over 1Mb/s (depending on the server from which I am downloading).

[Vibrant General] FlyingPoo:
with the op it was a combination of it being Windows 7 and the stock Froyo 2.2. we had to get the 3e patched which we tried about 3 different time and didnt work at all. The Update.zip for CWR failed to load it cause its signature would fail in the Froyo stock recovery. After about 6 different methods retried about a dozen times. It ended up we had to modify the drivers to work with the 64-bit version of Windows 7(the amd64 stock drivers didnt have his IDs for his phone. i found that kinda odd) and use heimdall to get him to JFD. Odin wouldn't even work. From there the rest was easy. So not only were we able to get it to work in Windows 7, Heimdall>Odin

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 313n703:
That did the trick for me as well.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriousB:
I had GPS issues with EB01 too - I narrowed it down to: if I rebooted with GPS turned OFF it would never get a GPS signal if I turned on via the notification bar. If I went into Settings-->Location & Security and checked "standalone GPS services" and accepted the warning GPS then worked great, locked immediately. But if I turned it off and rebooted again the same issue would occur. I tested this with SC 2.1, SC 2.2, and the stock EB01 ROM. Same behavior every time.

It also seemed like if the phone sat overnight (no reboot) and the GPS was off it would then not see any sats until I went into Loc&Sec again and checked the box there, but I didn't do extensive testing on that.

I never keep my GPS on unless I need it, so this was a deal breaker for me, back to DL09 until the next Froyo build comes out.
