[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
As a side effect of trying one of the overclocked ROMs which stopped my tab booting, I've sorted it out by flashing back to a working zImage, but now the tab refuses to see the internal storage memory. It can see the external MicroSD in the recovery menu, but within the OS, it doesn't think it even _has_ internal memory.

Any idea how to reinstate the block device? I've tried doing a complete repartition and reflash of rotohammer's JMI firmware, but still nothing.

The likely block devices in /dev/block that I can see are:

mmcblk1

mmcblk1p1

mmcblk0

mmcblk0p1, 2 & 3

And in /dev/block/vold/ :

179:0, 1, 2, 3, 8 & 9

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I did another repartition and reflash of Rotohammer's JMI firmware and once it rebooted it seemed to sort itself out. Strange that it didn't do it the first time.
[HTC Aria General] bsaelim:
Hi,

I've rooted my Aria using Unrevoked and loaded FR008 ROM, however Titanium Backup keeps telling me that the phone is not yet rooted.

I wonder if anyone has similar experience with Titanium Backup.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
I personally have not but what i'm wondering is...have you tried any other apps such as "my backup root" and received the same message?

oh, also, you can try going into the superuser app and see if anything regarding titanium backup is messed up in there (i.e. being denied root access)
[HTC Aria General] L551:
Make sure you accidentally didn't disallow titanium root access in the superuser app.

If you previously allowed it, remove the entry and let it re-ask permission.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 42
[HTC Aria General] bsaelim:
Thanks. My backup root works just fine. Will give Titanium another try later.

I just flashed handlerexploits vanilla with eclair and it has no sim manager. Currently i have no contacts and i dont remember phone numbers. So im kinda screwed unless there is a way or an app to import my contacts from my sim to my phone. Thanks i advance.

I extract a sim manger from [FrozenEclair_V2.34.1.zip Here from 2.34.1 No Blur Stock ROMs]（you can download it from here).

Desire HD - Orange Branded (GSM)

Recently rooted, downgraded ROM to stock 1.35 and since doing so the SIM is no longer detected.

Installed multiple ROMS (including official) which has not resolved the problem - completed a Radio update to 26.04.02.17, still not cured.

Any suggestions/solutions I'd be grateful to hear...

Additionally if anyone believes this could have been caused by an IMEI corruption - any way to fix without returning the phone?

Just to note also the following settings are enabled and I've not yet tried a reversal: Radio S-OFF, SuperCID & SimUnlock

SIM works ok in Galaxy Tab
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurD:
You may want to try putting a different SIM in your phone to see if it is detected. If it is, then maybe there's something with your current one that causes incompatibility.

Also, have you tried removing the battery to do a "cold" boot?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
Hi, sometimes SIM does not sit properly in the SIM holder in DHD itself. So make sure that your SIM is properly inserted and see if that helps.

Did you flash RADIO properly? I mean were there any errors?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggsie:
MonsieurD - thank you for your reply.

A cold boot - would this be booting the phone whilst USB is connected with the battery removed?

Loggsie
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggsie:
sphuyal - thank you also for your prompt reply.

I did not receive any errors whilst flashing the radio, would you suggest trying a previous radio to the current one in use? If so can you point me in the right direction to a website.

Furthermore - what I have noted from reading other forums etc. is that perhaps I should flash the radio first prior to flashing ROM to ensure compatability any views on this would be great.

Regards

Loggsie
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
Well flashing radio after installing custom roms would not be a problem. Which ROM you are using and what is the version of the radio? (if you flashed the one the dev mentioned in his thread then it is ok).

This is a brilliant guide on flashing radio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896597

Did you try taking out your sim and putting it back in? Sometimes reboot helps...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggsie:
I've followed the information provided here:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_HD:_Full_Update_Guide

Radio Version: 26.04.02.17

1.32.405.6 Firmware

Tried taking out the SIM and reinserting with no joy.

I'm going to try your previous link tonight and will keep you updated along the way.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggsie:
I followed your guide. Radio flash initially failed, after disabling Eng-OFF it was successful with no errors.

The SIM however is still not being detected - if this was to be a problem due to rooting do you believe its reversible and furthermore me using Z4Root could this be the problem?

[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
So I decided to root and install Bionix on my phone after the Kies 2.2 update pretty much destroyed my phone.

I've searched on the forum so far to no avail.... My GPS is far worse running the Bionix-V 1.2.1 rom... The rom is absolutely wonderful, but the GPS takes minutes to catch on, then when it finally does get signal, it either has me going in the wrong direction, or a street over or something... which doesn't help any.... but then after about a half hour it will finally work normally...

Does anyone have a fix for this as I sold my cars dashboard stupid garmin GPS cuz I had my awesome Google Nav... in which the GPS doesn't work... Yippeee... What a dumb mistake.
[Vibrant General] donkilla:
GPS really slow to fix on a signal on mine too. Sorry, I can't provide many details cuz i'm a noob.
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
try out,a,different modem. Personally I have,good results (gps) with jl5 and kb1 modems. Scrizz has a list of,them in,his,sig. Or check his,thread in,the development thread. On,a side note, I hate how the comma is placed next to the space bar in swype!
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
I recommend downloading SGS Tools from the Market and using that to get into LBSTestMode and deleting your GPS Data. If that doesn't work, flash a different modem.

I had the same problem you're describing. Deleting GPS Data cleared it up immediately.
[Vibrant General] BreakTheLaw:

[Vibrant General] 64beetle:
I remember coming across an interesting thread about a month ago which provided instructions on how to physically modify the gps contacts on the circuit board so that it made a better contact with the gps antenna, thus improving the gps once and for all regardless which ROM you use. As one can expect, this is not for the faint of heart. Since I don't use my phone for its gps, I didn't have any reason to try the solution out. The only reason I remember it was because it was the first time I've read of a non-software solution for the gps issues that plague these phones.

If you were inclined to try it, I would imagine that you can locate the article easily by googleing it. If not, pm me and I'll see if I can find the article in my browsers history.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
It's the link in my signature. Although if his GPS was working before flashing the new ROM it's most likely fixable without having to crack open his phone. You're right, it's not for the feint of heart, and sadly it appears to be a necessary thing for most SGS owners to undertake.
[Vibrant General] 64beetle:
Oh my bad, didn't realize you already provided the link.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Well, I guess I technically did but I didn't mention it....plus it is kinda small in my signature. No worries :D
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
I have sgs tools installed already. I have the latest version. I hit gps fix but same results.

The gps on this phone has never worked correctly since i bought the phone in august.

What do you mean flash a new modem. Could u provide a newb guide.

Thank you guys, or if someone has another suggestion please list it.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Don't hit GPS Fix. Do this:

Secret Codes > GPS-Test and settings (LBSTestMode) > Delete GPS Data

You can flash a new modem the same way you flashed the ROM through ClockWork, but try deleting GPS data first. Personally, I prefer the KA7 or KB1 modem for GPS, but every device is different.

[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Thank you all for the quock replies it is ka5 which apparently sucks
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
TW put KA5 in the ROM because it's the best balance of battery life and reception. For GPS, yeah, it definitely sucks. In my experience, on my phone, JL5, KA7 and KB1 provide the best GPS Reception
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Thank u for ur input KW. I just installed the kb1. Its a definate improvement but the gps still sucks. Only this phone has so many problems. Such a nice phone its so sad
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
My gps will get stuck, show me pointing in the wrong direction, will put me on the wrong street but i guess at least now it gets gps signal... better than before.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Give it some time (a day or so). Don't be afraid to try out different modems. I keep pretty much every modem and ever kernel in folders on internal SD just to play with.

KB1 modem locked fast but wandered on maps. KA7 stabilized my gps, but takes 1-3 minutes to initial lock though.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Vapor Mod ;)

There's a reason why the "GPS Restore" tool was developed...and that's because changing those settings makes the user feel like something changed, but 48 hours later it's back to normal. Tis sad, but true. :(
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
For some reason, I get GPS locks running bionix 1.2.1 pretty fast. But I dont use the GPS that much. Every now and then, I open gps test to see how long it takes to lock the gps signal and i can report i have been impressed wtih bionix v 1.2.1. I dont know how the navigation works on this rom as i dont use that.

I gave up on vibrant gps a couple of months ago when it had me lost on a number of occassions. I had to dish out around $100 on a stand alone dashboard gps.

I just downloaded SGS tools and will utilize the secret code thing to delete gps stats and see what happens.

I gotta say the gps is the sad part about this phone. There's a manufacturing fault in its gps and many people including me are too afraid to do the hardware fix.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
KWKSLVR thanks for all your help man. You made this nice and easy and providing the link to that modem page was awesome. I've played with the KA6 7 and the KB1.... KA5 included with Bionix was a dud man.. My txts wouldn't go through, phone actually rebooted itself randomly a few times too which seems to have stopped. I'm currently using KA6. KB1 was pretty good but man did u just watch the battery drop.

Also maybe you could shed some light on why when I flash new modems through CWM my battery will be say like 70 or 80 percent before i start the flash...

The flash takes like 30 seconds obviously, and when the phone restarts it'll show low battery and it'll be somewhere between like 5 and 15 percent.. Whats with that?
[Vibrant General] Arkasai:
Hmm you'll want to clear your battery stats from within clockworkmod, that seems pretty odd.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Sure man. That's happened to me before. Your battery stats just need to be reset. Charge your phone to 100%, hold the power button, select "Recovery". Your phone will boot into the red ClockWork Recovery screen, select "Advanced", select "Reset Battery Stats" and reboot. If you flash with your battery fully charged, you won't have to reset battery stats...but having to do so is no big deal.
[Vibrant General] kcp877:
To fix gps go read my instructions on the first page of the trigger 2.6 rom in the development section. You'll be loving in 3 seconds
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
KWKSLVR, thanks I actually saw Arkasai say that and I recharged the phone last night. I'm gonna go do that now, and I think I finally might have the GPS figured out.
[Vibrant General] kcp877:
I wiped my sd card in error today and had to redo it, took about five minutes to uninstall the maps update and get it working as per instructions. Locking fast in the house again, wait until you try it you won't believe how good the gps is! Blows my garmin away.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Ok so now with this battery thing. I fully charge, then reset the phone into recovery. Wipe battery stats, then restart phone. The first time the battery showed 93%, so I charged it up then wiped the battery stats again.

When I rebooted the phone it was now at 74%... So I recharged again and wiped again. Then it was at 86%. I am recharging now and then going to wait to see what anyone says about this...
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
How old is your battery? Try downloading a free widget called, "CurrentWidget" it will show you how much current your battery is pulling. As it gets to 100%, it will begin to slow down and trickle charge. What a lot of people don't realize is that after your battery fully charges, it will begin to discharge the battery, even if it still reads 100%. It's why you can take a fully charged phone off the charger and watch it go from 100% to 90% in like 30 minutes. It didn't really drain that fast, your battery meter is just playing catch up.

Plug the phone up, and when it gets to 100%, leave it plugged in and wipe the stats.

Sometimes it also takes a cycle or two to smooth out. I've had my phone go from 55% to 15% in 3 hours with little use only to sit on 15% for 1.5 hours....catch up. ;)
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Ok so once again, I went ahead recharged the battery, and wiped battery stats with the charger attached.

When I restarted the phone the phone was charging.... I disconnected the charger and it said 74%. It's been 10 minutes and it's at 82%. I guess i'll see what happens.

No, you should not have to install any of the prior mods since the current mod will include all previous data. But you do need to do a wipe/ reset before applying the update. If not, it won't work properly. See the instructions for installing the mod on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890042&page=63 and make sure you follow each step. Hope this helps!

I forrmatted the card in fat32 and put the mod only and did the wipe and reset before attempting the update and each time it could not find it. I am going to rename it update only as update.zip or Update.zip are not recognized. After the wipe still shows I am using Dex 1.2.

[A7 General] RojasTKD:
What size file is your download?

I had an issue where my download was only a 63K file (and update would fail), it should be closer to 100MB. I had to start to download 1.2 first, calcel after is started then download the 1.3. I would cork correctly and downloaf the complete file size after that.

Double check and make sure your not having the same issues as I.

Goog luck.

While e books don't really need "serving" due to size I for instance have the entire Project Gutenberg library and sorting though it to see what I want to read on the NC can be a hassle. To that end I use calibre server installed on my hp475 Home Server to push out any book and the stock WHS for any song/movie/image/sw/apk/etc. via browser on WAN and es file manager or mount mgr/CIFS on home LAN. If you don't have a home server then calibre will run from any workstation and you can use ddns for WAN access.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bobzdar:
I set up VLC convert and stream last night and it works great for music/video. Nice thing is that it will transcode all of your video to h.264 so that it works on the Nook, no need to convert the video. Most other servers need you to convert the video to an NC compatible format. It worked with every video I tried: mpg, avi, wmv. It also allows you to use the Nook as a remote for your computer, which is pretty sweet. The free version will transcode up to 480 width - pro version allows 640 width and picture support as well. I may end up purchasing it as it's nice not to have to copy anything to the NC. If I can get it to support recorded TV shows from media center, it'll be perfect (I think it will, just need to change the extension).

eBook server access

Hi,

Calibre (open source) (http: // calibre - ebook . com) is great for organizing

the eBooks on PC end, getting covers, reviews, tagging them etc.

You can download and manage eBooks on the device mounted as a drive

directly from Calibre, or upload them to Dropbox for later download on the device.

There is also a paid app on the Android end "Calibre Library" that works with

Calibre to pull books to the Android device. Still under development, but very

usable. It can search library, sort by author, title etc.
