2. flash Myn's warm or mikfroyo

3. reboot

4. shutoff to get into recovery

5. flash theme and reboot again

2nd way:

all the same but i flash the theme after flashing the rom i want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
as soon as you get the country issue pop the battery and reboot and see if it takes care of it. I got it a few times on riptide and that worked for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
ok i will attempt that later today. thank you.

Hi there.

I know i can add proxy settings to WiFi, by going Settings>WiFi Setting> Menu and then add Proxy and Port details, but that will add the Proxy settings for all the WiFi networks which i dont need. I need to add Proxy and DNS details for the WiFi at my University only and when i get back home i dont need proxy for the WiFi at home , anyway to do this?

[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Okay,

There is a growing number of us XDA members on the Vibrant platform who have just bricked out phones. Save for other DEV tools, which I have not used, do not have access, and do not know how to use, for all intensive purposes, this phone is Br'iKTed ! ! !

Here are the series of events

1. flashed the latest Bionix

2. Worked great, some bugs, but for the most part without incident.

3. Flashed new DOW Kernel,

4. worked great for 2 days.

5. then on night 2, the phone was stuck on the DOW Green robot screen

6. could not get into Recovery mode (none of the recovery modes)

7. Phone would not boot

8. ODIN back to stock

9. After Vibrant screen, the phone turns off. No soft keys, Nada!

10. Flashed JI5, Ji6, Eugene's Non Bricking Froyo (ODIN Files)

11. Same result, Turned off after Vibrant

and

12. still cant' get into recovery

I am having problems with the phone starting up and loading what I flashed.

I flashed JI5 Ji6, and Eugene's non bricking Froyo Rom

These 3 are the only ones I was able to find that is ODIN flashable

Why you ask?

I cannot get into Recovery, but I can get into Download mode. I can't get into any recovery at all. NOTHING. This is why ODIN seems to be my only option.

But regardless of any ROM i flash, my phone shuts off right after the Vibrant screen. No splash screen, no loading, no booting. .Nothing. It just shuts off.

I can't charge it either.

i get a Charging bootloop. HOurglass - battery shows up for a bit, then restarts over and over.

So in other words. it's ****ed.

Hope that explains it sufficiently. if you have any more questions or suggestions, Im open man, Im open.

Help me

So I'm not sure how DEVs would like to proceed on this.

TW (I've always loved your roms. Been following you since the first BIONIX 1.8)

Morific (If it's the Kernel, i'd like to know about it)

Thanks for reading guys. I wanted to give everybody a heads up.

I don't know what the problem is, but I do know that the phone does not work.

I'd appreciate some suggestions or anything.

And to inform the community that this problem is out there. I hope there aren't any more bricked phones.

Cheers,
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
have you tried using odin with the repartition checked
[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Yes I have.

Tried it with/ Without. Using Just the Tar file, using just the base file. I've tried it all.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
have you tried to odin to ka6 or ka7? something with a bootloader
[Vibrant General] STiGLOGiC:
not to be that guy, but how does this pertain to development? This sounds to me like an individual case of something going wrong and not an overarching issue with current available software. Just in case I am wrong I am flashing Bionix, and the DOW kernel myself to see if I end up with the same issue. My suggestion is flash back to stock, and exchange your device for a new one from T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] hackman17:
I totally understand what your going through. I'm having the exact same problem, the DOW kernel flashed ok but then it didn't want to come off and it totally has my phone stuck on that damn green robot screen. :(
[Vibrant General] jaetm83:
I soft-bricked my phone once by pulling USB cable immediately after ODIN forced my phone to reboot after flashing. It was the first time I ever ODIN'ed my phone, and thought the reboot (ODIN calls it reset) was the final step of flashing, and unplugged the USB cable. Anyway the phone did not initiate final step of the installation of JFD image, and went into boot loop. You can't imagine how freaked I was. It wouldn't go into recovery mode even if I pressed volume up, down and power combo, because it didn't stop rebooting right after the Vibrant logo. I am not sure if bootloader was not installed correctly, though. But I kept the phone rebooting for a while to see what happens. No luck. Eventually, I followed someone's instruction, and pulled my battery out, plugged USB to my laptop and to my phone, started ODIN, and popped in the battery. The phone immediately restarted into download mode, and I was able to flash the phone again.

My experience may not help you as it appears that you are able to flash ODIN-flashables, at least. But I hope this helps someone who's experiencing similar issues. And I would try downloading a JFD image and verifying MD5 before flashing. It could be bad downloads of the image files.
[Vibrant General] vibrant2010:
Try to go to eugenes forum and he has a file to download...it is his unofficial jk2 froyo rom. Don't use the old "froyo that does not brick" Try to flash that in ODIN. I just used it tonight when I got stuck in stock recovery with a MBR Check sum failure. That should get u back to where u can fix ur phone. Also I don't click the repartition button in ODIN just causes problems for me. If u need anything feel free to P.M. me.
[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Completely reasonable. This pertains to development because if there is an endemic problem with one of our ROMS or KERNELS (not pointing fingers, just pointing out the possibilities that I know of, there could be more), people in our community need to know. Hence, I titled it "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT"

Thanks. I hear you about Tmobile. I'd rather not have to dump my problem on Tmobile if I can fix it, because I flashed the rom. Despite the fact that Tmobile JFS leaves something to be desired, they did deliver me a working phone. So i'd like to exhaust all possibilities before calling it quits.

Exactly.

Thanks for the heads up. I've gone through this myself many times. And i'm sure your post will help others out there. My problem (as well as many others on here with the same ROM and KERNEL I used) seems to be different and unique. Something that ODIN won't cure.

Yes, tried that too. Same result. Vibrant.. then shut off.

Thanks anyway.
[Vibrant General] jaetm83:
I had actually just had Bionix-v 1.2.1 and the new DoW combo to try out Voodoo Sound. I really loved the sound quality, but battery drain was not adequate as being my daily driver, even though I set it to run at 1ghz and used a sleep profile. After just over 2 days of use, I backed out by ODIN'ing to JFD and I installed Bionix-v 1.2.1 again. Only thing I have noticed so far is GPS not initiating immediately after it's turned on. I would go into GPS Test app, and turn on GPS after the app is started, but I get no satellites for at least 1 min. I used to get a lock within seconds, not minutes. I will try ODIN again tomorrow and see if it fixes. I guess I was lucky enough not to get a bootloop again though.

But I can't see why you and I would have any issues after the Bionix+Dow combo. Wouldn't ODIN just clear everything up? I even repartitioned when flashing, so my guess is that my system, data, datadata, etc., are all reformatted completely? Am I missing something?
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
I had the same problem. I flashed DoW and then the next day my phone didn't want to turn on. I pulled the battery and restarted it. It didn't want to start up all the way. It got to the vibrant screen and shut off. luckily for me, my replacement phone that I ordered a week ago came in the same day. I sent off my old phone letting samsung/tmo take care of it.
[Vibrant General] Henchman:
This exact same thing happened to me.

I too had the phoen bricked after flashing the DOW after Bionix 1.2.1

I have been flashing since the G1. This is the first time I've ever bricked a phone.

Hoping to get it fixed this weekend
[Vibrant General] black spirit:
Yo OP

Coming from a very scary brick my self, (phone wouldnt even turn on, bad dead horse test).

When your using Odin, are you using v1.7, are you using the correct stock JFD tar, when you repartion, are you using the correct pit file. Sounds to me that your partions are screwed, so try the pit approach first. If you phone wont boot at all after this, with odin open go into download mode by holding the vol rockers only, and plug USB in.

Then flash JFD.
[Vibrant General] drewdude007:
I spent over 12 hours working on this when it happened to me yesterday. Tried every tar and pit file and all versions of Odin I could find. There is no way to fix it with Odin. It is BRICKED!
[Vibrant General] DannyDoan:
If you have not already done this, I recommend doing this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954509

Bay Wolf made a nice software for the computer that pretty much shows you a step-by-step instruction on how to flash to stock, reroot, and flash the new ROM of your choice. This program will push you into download mode, clockwork recovery, etc. There is a video on that link that will also show you a step-by-step instruction. Try that out if you haven't, and let us know how it goes.

That program comes with a PIT and TAR file for you to use as well.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Even if you say it is, this is not a Development thread and belongs in one of the other forums. I understand your frustration, however TW did not flash your phone, you did. Coming on here with a "PSA" that their ROM or Kernel loaded itself on your phone and broke it is not the way it should be done. Did you, before posting this, go to the TW irc for help or pm Sombionix or any other TW Dev?

Since you can Odin, Odin to stock 2.1 then connect to KIES mini while in download mode, if you can, and take the OTA.
[Vibrant General] black spirit:
I thought the same when it happen to me.

Nothing would work, but went that approach and happy days.

s1_odin_20100512.pit

and

T959UVJFD.tar

are the only ones you need, and if your good with your flashing, just do a pit first, no pda.

And if your still getting to download mode, ect, and dont have the computer /!\ phone icon on the screen, sounds like a soft brick.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
I see where you're going, but he did not blame TW or anyone else. He may just be warning some people/asking for help. I do however agree that he posted in the wrong section.

Also, why would he need to pm sombionix or a TW dev before posting this?
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Because he started off with his problem stated as:

1. flashed the latest Bionix

2. Worked great, some bugs, but for the most part without incident.

3. Flashed new DOW Kernel,

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok everyone, I know this sort of sounds like a noob thing. But this question has been bouncing around in my head for a good while now. And I would really like to get a definative answer.

Now my initial question was is there a deference between the two types of resets?....I ask this because of these reasons. One I am a T-Mobile US customer and I had to call Customer support about an issue I had with my HD2. It was freezing on the orange Windows splash screen. The customer service rep I first spoke with told me I needed to do a Factory Reset and walked me through the process. After I got off the phone with them I did a test soft reset to see if it would freeze again. And sure enough it froze on the orange Windows splash screen again. I called back, the second customer service rep told me that the first rep should have had me do a Hard Reset using the volume up and down keys and the power button, and this is the only true way to reset the HD2. The rep walked me through the procedure. Before I got off the phone with the rep I did three soft resets and my HD2 never froze on the orange Windows splash screen.

This made me wonder why this worked when my HD2 said "preparing first boot" each time and I had to go back through the set up on my HD2 both times. So I looked through the owners manual I downloaded from T-Mobile's website. And it made me further wonder if it is a difference between the two. The below quote comes straight from the owners manual.

Now I come to the greatest site there is for a HD2 owner and my trusted companion XDA looking for a answer. This is what I found, a post in a thread called "[Q] Factory/Hard reset". this is the post by member AllGamer.

So can someone or everyone please elaborate more on this for me. I am truly trying to learn as much about my HD2 as possible. Plus I think this info would be very useful to others. And FYI this is the first thread I have ever started here at XDA. Thanks to one and all here at XDA this site ROCKS, and to every last developer here thank you. Also thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
OK the link you posted to there is referring to a samsung phone so Im not sure how thats relevant.

I was always led to beleive that the two methods of hard reset performed exactly the same function, the only diference being that one was possible to perform without booting WM.

Im sure someone with more technical knowledge than me could chip in and tell you if theres a difference but I dont think there is.........
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for your reply.

It wad late last night when I posted me original post and I did not notice it was for a Samsung Galaxy S, that explains the third method that is mentioned in the post. But still it supports my hypothisis of it being some kind of difference. I have further evidence of this cause I advised someone in the T-Mobile forums to do a hard reset of their HD2. They responded and said they did a factory reset and it did not fix the problem. Then I told them they needed to do a hard reset with the external buttons not a factory reset. They then responded saying they did the hard reset and the problem was fixed. Further if it is not a difference besides the way you access them. Why the two different names? I don't know maybe someone will post here that knows or maybe I will find my answer on my own. Thanks for the response though. :)
[HD2 General] mattfmartin:
Its the same thing. End of story.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for your post.

You may be right, and I might just be reading more into it than it is. But from my personal experiences and what I have found so far on this question (wich is not much) makes me believe it is not the same thing.

What I am really looking for here is for someone that fully understands the actual things that take place when you do both of these process to your phone. I mean like what actually happens at the programming level. You see what I kind of think happens is the Hard Reset doers a full systems cleansing, resets all registry entries and values by accerssing files that the Factory Reset does not have permission to. Also I think the Factory reset option is mor of a storage/memory cleansing making the phone appear to be reset to defaults without actually reseting all values. I have no actual substantial proof of this yet, it is just a a generalized hopothosis right now. So if I am just being stupid I appologize, but if I am not and someone can explain it to me I would be very thankful. ;)
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I always thought it was different ways of saying the same thing... and that the 2 methods performed the same operation. It might be possible that the clear storage way doesn't do a full hard/factory reset and it just clears storage.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Bump Bump

Ok it has been a couple of days and I am really hopping someone with the knowledge to give me some kind of definitive answer to this question will see this. Or at least have a thread with a good discussion on this subject. Thanks again! :)

Could someone tell me how to solved this problem.

Thanks for future help.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] emigrating:
You're probably using the same GUID for both apps, meaning the phone thinks they are both the same.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Emigrating is correct. Look at the ProductID in the WMAppManifest.xml. They are the same for both projects (you probably made a copy of the project). Change one of them and you're OK.

you are absolutely right. My both apps have same product id.

[Dell Venue] dcarr622:
For anyone using this phone on AT&T, can you tell me how AT&T recognizes the phone? Are you required to get the expensive capped data plans (does AT&T recognize it as a smartphone) or can you use the cheap dumbphone data plan (like I do with Bell Galaxy S and Milestone in my sig)

Answer would be appreciated :)
[Dell Venue] dcarr622:
NOBODY using this phone on AT&T?
[Dell Venue] nomnompie:
Honestly I'd like to know as well, as I am interested in getting one but currently it seems there's no dev scene for it. Which is disappointing since it can be bought right from Dell and works on ATT bands and Tmobile. (that is what's kept me from getting one.)

I would guess however, that it will work fine as AT&T doesn't have this phone on contract and therefore has no need for the IMEI numbers. But as always, I guess we won't know till someone takes the chance.
[Dell Venue] Funk2641:
I have one on ATT, works just fine. I have the unlimited smartphone plan, but I'm sure you could use it with the dumbphone plans, since the IMEI isn't recognized with ATT
[Dell Venue] dcarr622:
how does it show up in your account online? Any picture or name?

I'm still a bit wary beacuse I know the Dell Streak was recognized by AT&T and required the pricey plans so I want to know if that will happen with the Venue

Like the previous poster said, disappointed there's not more dev, the Venue has nice, proven hardware and great frequencies to utilize.
[Dell Venue] sucsss:
I would love to know too. Since I heard rumors that Dell gave ATT all their imei numbers.

I need a smartphone without a data plan.
[Dell Venue] zekesommer:
I have had the Venue on ATT for about a week, i just used the SIM that came out of my Tilt 2. My online ATT acct doesnt show a pic or say what phone i have. Its the same it has been when i used my HD2 and HD7. But i have a smartphone plan so im not sure this is any help.
[Dell Venue] hx4700 Killer:
I just got one of these and got the unlock code for it. When I put in my AT&T SIM and set up the APN I only show EDGE data network and not 3G. Further the bands on the box show the AT&T 3G bands!?!?! I have an unlimitted Smartphone data plan.

Those of you who say "It works fine" Do you not have data? If you do are you getting 3G?!? If so are you in a major market?

Finally, do you have a newer AT&T 3G sim card or maybe an older one from cingular or something?

Thanks!
[Dell Venue] sucsss:
I think you have the wrong phone.

This phone comes only in the unlocked version. No unlock code needed.
[Dell Venue] SiL3nTKiLL:
i think they recognize phone through the sim card, what i did was find a crappy flip phone, put the sim card in there, sign up for hte $10 data family plan, and then switch back to my cappy....still havent been caught :)
[Dell Venue] Case1981:
case1981

Got the Venue. 2 weeks later (today) received email from ATT, they are adding appropriate Smartphone Data Plan. A friend of mine at ATT says this could only happen if ATT gets serial number from Dell.

Hi guys .. I wanted to ask if there's any way to maybe use a lanyard strap with the HTC Desire Z (a.k.a. T-Mobile G2) .. I've search quite extensively online but haven't really found any solution ..

Is there any hard case available for HTC Desire Z/G2 which provides a hole for a lanyard strap ?

I'm coming from Nokia phones and am heavily used to using the lanyard strap for more maneuverability, and I really want a way to use a lanyard strap with my new Desire Z as well if I can ..

thanks Michealtbh the 4.1 defiantly worked.... from what i saw on the thread about it, is the cm7 mods (4.2?) kernal natively putting the clock at 768, cause mine does crash at that 748 seems stable. but run at 729 to be safe

Funnnny, yes that probably would of worked too by the looks of it... only problem is i couldn't get it to stay alive long enough to even install it :(

question.. with 4.1 installed and setcpu all up and going running at 729.. could i then now reinstall the original 4.2? kernal ???? is it better or just leave it alone?

I recently flashed my desire HD to the Android Revolution with its recommended radio. I noticed my battery life wasnt as great as before and so I wiped the battery stats through clockwork mod.

After that I rebooted, and the phone now keeps getting stuck in a loop

- HTC "quietly brilliant"

- Lock screen

- I unlock

- Visionary attempts to root.

- restarts

Is there anyway to fix this? I really need your help guys
