I felt the same b4 one month itself.. Where I ll be searching through out the internet whether any new update will release for my phone etc etc.. Now just totally bored of this phones... ( may b d main reason I hate using phone now a days coz she left me..:-( And my time spent on d mobile totally reduced.. ).:-(
[XPERIA X8 General] p|p3:
I feel just some thing like that. I like some roms buy this roms are not fully stable but the stable SE firmware have a lot of things that i dont like and all days is the same thing.
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
No they shouldn't. If they were to change the whole damn thing it would be a completely different product. Have you notice when Microsoft update Windows, or when Apple updates Mac, not much changes? It gets a slightly new look but nothing too different.
[XPERIA X8 General] loopin:
i'm quite statisfied with the default ROM..

don't mess with your phone if you don't know what are you doing.. you may end up with a brick :D

i think apps(widgets, launcher, etc) is enough to mod your phone

but that's just me :D

[XPERIA X8 General] LFSPovo:
I personally love the X8. These so-called problems are what makes the community come together and work to improve their phones.

I can promise you someone with a phone that has the latest version of Android will bored much quicker of the phone. Why? Because everything is working and you don't have anything to do.

Just my 2 cents.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcj77d:
ok, so i was trying to make a custom boot animation screen for my htc hero, but my work station (computer) broke.

so im asking anybody/everybody for help. I WILL DONATE!:D

im wanting just a black screen with some sort of HTC logo on it, & then of course my attached png files for the animation, & the gif image.

I'm a huge cannabis advocate, so theme it around that, & to make it more interesting for any takers, i'll donate to the person that makes the nicest boot screen.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofokra:
There is only so much you can do with a stock ROM. You can get Autokiller to manage memory, flash a better kernel for OCing. Your best bet is to flash CM7 though, just got 2400 benchmark in Quadrant on mine.

So Im trying to root my grandpas G1 and everything went well I got it rooted and unlocked without a sim card and then I flashed ra 1.7.0 and no matter what rom I flash it just gets stuck at the G1 screen and stays there forever... Its almost like it doesnt really have root and isnt flashing right. Any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfire:
follow the cyanogen's root guides (if u r not sure either it's rooted OR not)

try some neutral (sort of) ROM which don't have requirements of OLD/NEW radio SPL etc, i.e. FroyoForTrout (F4T), if you get it running then you're good otherwise go back to Fresh thing (Android 1.0) & Telnet & commands & fresh HOT rom ;)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
My phone isn't a brick but it might as well be, I flashed a CM7 build but didn't much like it so I never bothered to add the Google Apps, instead, I did a restore to my original MyTouch 4G backup but.... it didn't work, got a flashing screen, etc. so back to the CM7 build, now I can't run ROM Manager, it goes to the red triangle symbol, I can't run ADB, it won't find my phone, I can't root, it just keeps saying S=ON! Since I didn't add the Google Apps and can't now, I can't use the phone!

Am I out a MyTouch 4g? Is there anything that'll fix it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
What google apps are you looking for, 99% of them can be found online and installed. Have you tried the online Android market (it can send downloads directly to your device) https://market.android.com/

You might be able use visionary to temp root the device, that will get you started
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Online market won't install because I've flashed my HD2 to Android so it keeps saying that everything is already installed.

Visionary won't temp root, nothing will, don't know why? Do you know just how many rooting proceedures there are on the WWW? I've tried each that I've found 3 or more times with no luck.

I'm going to try to see if the online market will allow me to install Root Explorer, that may help me some....

It won't. There seems no way to change phones???
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
When you tried to restore, did you flash the recovery back to version 2.x? You need a 2.x recovery (use 2.5.1.2) to flash CM6, stock, and other Froyo roms. This should let you restore back to stock. Supposedly clockworkmod 3.0.0.6 can flash back and forth between Froyo and Gingerbread roms, but I haven't tried it yet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Thanks but whatever version of Clockworkmod I have is what I have since the critter won't allow anything to be changed???

I can't get into Clockworkmod so I think changing versions won't help but I can't change so it's sort of moot at this point. The phone will do either one of these things:

1. Boot normally into the partial CM7 build which isn't usable as explained elsewhere.

2. It'll do the hold Vol Dn and hit power boot but then it won't do anything, the only option that works is normal boot and then I'm right back into CM7.

3. I can select "restore" or boot normally and select ROM Manager and hit boot into recovery and it'll reboot to the error screen, red triangle with ! sign on it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
That is the stock Recovery (which doesn't do anything but display the lovely triangle).

If Rom Manager is running in your broken CM7 system, you could re-flash Clockwork Recovery.

You can also flash a Clockwork Recovery image using adb or Fastboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
As mentioned the red triangle is the stock recovery. Not sure how you flashed CM7 with the stock recovery but for some reason it sounds like that is all you have on your phone. FYI...If you hold the vol up and power button at the red triangle screen it should boot you into the stock recovery.

A couple of things that caught my eye. You say that your phone now says s=on. did it used to say s=off? When you say you went back to CM7 after trying to flash your backup, what steps did you take to try and go back? Was your backup made thru Rom Manager? Did you try to use Rom Manager to restore your backup?

First thing I would try is a full wipe and factory reset from the stock recovery if you can get there. You need to try and get CM7 to load correctly. If you can do that then you should be able to flash a new recovery. You dont need s=off to flash roms but you do need root.

Do you still have root acces? Ie: can you use SuperUser? Try a few root apps and see if they as for su permission.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Thanks, ROM manager is running but re-flashing Clockwork Recovery doesn't help anything, it completes successfully but any attempt to do anything with it gets me to the red triangle.

I wish I could flash a recovery image using ADB or Fastboot, neither will function.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Correct, that's all that's there or at least all I can access so far. Vol up + pwr does boot me into stock recovery but that doesn't help.... <sigh>

Yes, I did have S=off to flash. Steps trying to go back were none, really, after the restore failed the phone wouldn't do anything as detailed in my posts. The backup was made through Rom Manager and that's what I used to try the restore.

Wiped and factory reset several times with no change in the problem. I'd love to get CM7 to load correctly but since I didn't originally load the GAPPS it's pretty useless, no gmail, no contacts or calendar, no Android market (which means all that's on the phone is all I can get, the online market won't work as mentioned in a previous post.) I cannot flash a new recovery, that's what I've been trying to do for several days now.

I do have root access, I can use SuperUser but it doesn't seem to do anything. Attempts to re-root have failed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
i feel ya bro, the reason I am asking these questions is to try and figure out what you have tried and not tried. CM7 isnt useless if you can get it to load. Just because you dont have the gapps installed, that shouldnt do anything but make you not have the market and google apps. Do you have adb set up and will it recognize your device? The biggest question is why would it have turned s=on and why wouldnt rom manager be able to flash a new recovery. Rom manager has a problem making/flashing backups using 3.0.0.X recoveries so that is where this problem started I think. Thats why I am trying to get you a clean working CM7. Does it give you a error when trying to install recovery through rom manager? Have you tried going to applications/manage applications/all/Rom Manager and clearing the data?

If you have su access you might also be able to flash a new recovery via terminal emulator.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Thanks, I appreciate the help and sympathy! I've fixed it in a very unorthodox way, it involved going to T-Mobile's website, changing phone to Blackberry 9700, moving SIM to 9700 and switching data plan to Blackberry.

Dang, that's a little screen....

The reason I'm maybe not giving you all the information you need is that I have very bad arthritis in my hands and I try to type as little as possible, I'm sorry if I'm not being clear but don't hesitate to ask if you need more info.

Not having the gmail means no sync, can't import contacts or calendar, no apps means what I have on the phone is ALL I HAVE, I can't get anything else. That's why I say it's unusable.

ADB does not recognize the device.

Installing recovery through Rom manager results in red triangle.

I did clear Rom manager data as you suggested but it didn't help.

How could I flash recover through terminal emulator, I do have that and can access it and typing SU does give me the # prompt so that's helpful maybe? I'd need step by step directions because I'm very unfamiliar with using terminal emulator, I've only used it to follow directions given in the rooting instructions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
to flash a recovery image via terminal emulator if you are on cm7 is:

Type "su" and then enter the code below after putting the recovery on your sd card. Make sure you name it recovery.img

flash_image recovery /sdcard/[COLOR=black]recovery.img[/COLOR]

LMK if that works.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Thanks, I'm not sure what I expected but what happened is exactly nothing:

Put Recovery.img on card, booted up phone, started Terminal Emulator got:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ su

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

#

And that's it, nothing happened at all, just went back to the # prompt.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
As long as you named it recovery.img and not Recovery.img it should have worked. Try to boot into recovery by powering off your phone and then holding the vol but and power button at the same time. Then chose recovery. Or if you on CM7 just hold power button for a sec and then reboot and recovery.

LMK if that works.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
I checked the name several times, booting into recovery just takes me to the red triangle, I've tried that many times before, nothing's changed.

I suspect it's a brick?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
ok, I still dont believe its a brick. Are you running a rom at all? I mean does it boot into CM7 even though you dont have Gapps? Or is it totaly stuck on bootloop all the time. I am going to send you a PM with my Gtalk. Add me if you want and maybe it will make it a little easier to communicate and help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
It boots right up in CM7, if I'd added the Gapps at the beginning I'd just be running it happily I think? I'd be able to sync and get needed apps from the market, etc. etc.

Thanks, I'd really prefer to do it this way. Why? Because I'm really sick of messing with it and I hate to spend much time working on it now, I've resigned myself to having a very costly paperweight! Using the thread here allows me to check in once or twice a day when the urge strikes, besides, I really don't IM, never have, never could figure it out. I don't text either, it's blocked at T-Mo's website and on my phones as well. I'm not really a technophobe but I'm 99.2 % one.....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:

If he's still s=on, he's not going to be able to flash recovery. You need to get s=off.

Grab the .apk for Visionary. Grab gfree. Grab an apk for a terminal emulator if you don't have one. Put them all on your sdcard, boot into CM7, and follow the instructions for the gfree method here:

A lot of people have recommended really complex stuff, just wondering if you tried putting the PD15IMG.zip in the root of your phone and just flashing back to stock?

As in copy this file to root, make sure it's named PD15IMG.zip, voldown power and allow it to update?

It allowed me to return to stock, doesn't require recovery or root permissions that I know of...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Thanks, did that first and many times since.

I've accepted that it's a brick, I've found others who did the same as I did, backed up with clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, flashed a ROM, tried a restore and killed the phone. So far, nobody seems to have recovered.

It's nice to know I'm not alone, I guess?

Send it back to HTC. Their kung fu is mighty...

You may have to suck up a repair charge, but it will be cheaper than a new phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
That's my current plan. I appreciate all the advice I've received but if it can be fixed I don't seem to be able to do it myself and I'm not willing to spend more time on it.

It's on it's way, I'm not sure it IS cheaper, they want $180 for a new MB if required plus other charges plus shipping. Phone was $200. IF it requires a new MB I'll probably just such up the $35 base fee and scrap the thing.

I'm currently using the HTC HD2 with the MyTouch 4G NAND and, frankly, I prefer it to the MyTouch 4G because of the larger screen and not having the awkward pwr button.

It doesn't have WiFi calling nor does there seem anyway to get it nor does it have 4G. WiFi calling is important to me but since I rarely see EDGE I don't miss 4G. If I could add WiFi calling I'd never have got the MyTouch....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiehairspray:
Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but I believe you can just factory reset it.

- Power off.

- Press and hold the Volume Down button.

- Press and release the Power button and continue to hold Volume Down.

- When you see the Android logo appear, you may then release Volume Down.

- Now use the Volume Up/Down buttons to highlight Factory reset.

- Press the Power button to select.

If I'm wrong please let me know!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
You're wrong. It'll factory reset but that fixes nothing. Factory reset only wipes apps you've installed and clears your contacts and calendar along with removing your personal info, it fixes nothing and changes nothing.

It's intended to be used when you sell the phone to get rid of personal data.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
That is 50/50 correct you have to have the PD15IMG stored on the SD card for that to work, complete restore to a factory spec, and they've said that they have tried that.

Official HTC: It IS a brick! *update*

Looks like whatever happens I have to fix it myself.

Sent it to HTC, they called and said it needed new mainboard, new bezel, new screen and new frame. $350 or something equally ridiculous....

Remember it boots, gets email, browses the web, makes and receives calls?

So they lied, they just decided to replace the phone rather than fix it. :mad:

The phone was returned, I had to pay the $35 "triage fee" and when it came home I carefully inspected it with a magnifying glass. The screen is NOT scratched, the bezel is NOT dinged, the mainboard is NOT cracked, it still boots and does all of the above, they just plain lied. :mad:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
And I did, I flashed the PD15IMG file and it restored my phone w/o any problem.

Why didn't it work the several times I'd tried it previously? Apparently there are several versions available for download and I'd grabbed one of the earlier ones that wouldn't work at all......

Anyway, it's fixed and now I have to overcome the next problem which is that I have an HTC HD2 and, when the MyTouch 4G was out of service, I flashed the HD2 to Motoman234's MyTouch 4g NAND and I MUCH prefer the HD2 now to the MT4G. I like the larger screen, I dislike the MT's horrible placement of the power button, etc.

The major reason(s) to use the MT4G is WiFi calling which I need and 4G capabilities which mean nothing to me, I'm very lucky to get EDGE where I live and I'm on WiFi all the time.

I think if WiFi calling ever became available for the HD2 NANDs I'd probably stick with it and sell the MT4G.
