I have had every android phone and am not a noob...but this voodoo/froyo/cwm is irritating me...

Before flashing any rom, I always do a nandroid backup....well, I was on SuperClean 2.4 with VA green theme...then decided to make a backup and try miui... all was great, but now I am trying to go back to sc (to my backup) and I get the multiple vibrate and it just keeps bootlooping... What am I doing wrong?

Here is what I have tried:

-wiping data/cache

-wiping dalvik

-flashing cwm_froyo.zip

-disabling voodoo

-flashing superclean, then restoring my backup

-flashing superclean, then theme then restoring

-using green cwm

-using red cwm

(yes, I usually reboot in between steps)

I am puzzled because I have never run into this before, but had this happen once with sc...I was able to fix things with just using cwm and flashing a bunch of stuff then restoring, but have no clue for the life of me which sequence I followed...

Can anyone open my eyes to what I am missing? What's the best way to fix this? I know it can be done without odin. Thanks!!!
[Fascinate General] solido888:
Not sure if this would be your issue, but are you using the CWM from the OP in this thread? :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021

it is called cwm-recovery-all.zip as opposed to cwm_froyo.zip

I think your CWM may be outdated.
[Fascinate General] M00NEY:
I had a similar issue this weekend, in that I went to do what should have been minor surgery and ended up in the FC boot-loop hell that it sounds like you are in at the moment.

I battled it for about an hour before I said "bag it" and used odin to flash one step EB01 Superclean, then I manually put my voodoo kernel back on and then restored my backup, which landed everything exactly where it should be and the phone in full glory once again.

Was it a PITA? sure, but the end result was very worth the effort...

you can find the odin package you need to make this a breeze here.

pushing this will take you to the flavor of EB01 you desire, then you can move on from there, but this is a nice clean, straight-ahead method. There is not an option to go straight to JT's voodoo kernel for EB01, but you can make the leap prior to even restoring your apps via CWM, which will also be up to date using the odin method above.

GL!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Having a backup is always a good thing. I second the ODIN as a fix for your issues, you're just going to get frustrated trying anything else at this point. There's a great resource post Here. Five minutes with ODIN, and then a CWM restore. Really couldn't be any easier then that.
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
Thanks all!!!! I saw Adrynalyne's post about the triple vibrate, which means something is crashing. I am not sure what it was, but....

I got it back to normal, by wiping, flashing sc again, then the va theme...booting in between the flashes and then just restoring data. Voodoo was disabled all this time. I just don't like using odin...but if it happens again, I will do it, just because something is being stubborn. Thanks again. Hopefully this experience helps someone else as well. :)
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
It could be a dbdata position issue.

Try flashing an eb01 odin tar.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powduh09:
First off I apologize for asking such a dumb question, but I always like to be well informed. As I mentioned in my other post, I am still a noob. I have gotten to a comfortable point with my custom Rom and o/c kernel. Now that I have gotten there, I was looking through some of the forums here and found that there are two display types made into the mytouch 4g. I ran the check in terminal and found that I have display type 1 which is said to be the bad type. A friend of mine who came over today bought his mt4g from eBay, and his is type 2. Major difference!! Now I believe I am going to put in for a warranty exchange for this phone, which brings my question, how can I go about making sure I get an exchange that is type 2 display, so that I don't go through the whole unrooting/exchange process for nothing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
You can't; that's the risk you take. Some people have the type1 screen, some have minor body defects (chips in the bezel, non-centered FFC, squeaking, etc), etc...There are issues with this phone.

You roll the dice requesting a new one. Maybe the screen is your only issue. Maybe you get sent back a perfect phone, but odds are you won't and it will have some other minor flaw like a casing squeak, or some bezel chips, an off-center camera, or maybe everything. There is no guarantee made you will get a better (cosmetically, subjectively) phone by swapping it.

If the risk is worth the potential reward, go for it! Just don't get your hopes up too high :). I have a type1 screen and having never seen a type2 except in screens/videos, don't miss anything. I have no other body defects, though, so it's not worth the hassle to me to swap it and hope I fix one problem without gaining 5 others.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powduh09:
Judging from what you've said, it isn't worth the risk. I do have a physically and cosmetically perfect phone, the only problem is the display. But if I have to deal with issues such as you mentioned, I am perfectly happy having the bad display. I only wish they had made all these phones with the better display. Now that I have actually seen one.

Also, I am on the phone with my friend now, who says though his screen is better, my phone out performs. This could be thanks to the guys responsible creating my Rom, however, he insists that his truly doesn't act like a mt4g at all... Almost makes me wander if there's

Already a knock off being made of these phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] North101:
I recently flashed a firmware made from romkitchen.org (JPY modem) and I can't seem to get a signal.

I have gone into [Wireless and network] and selected my AP name and even made a new one according to o2.

My sim works fine in an old phone and I've made sure I can call etc.

I can get my IMEI number by dialing *#06#

Is there anything else I can do? And what do I need to repartition in Odin if I want to install a stock firmware that I know works, installing the rom from romkitchen.org?

Thanks,

North101
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiwin:
Try the following.

1. Go to your phone and dial *#*#4636#*#*

2. Go to phone and menu

3. There is an option to enable the phone/radio

4. click that

5. Exist back to home screen

6. Go to setting and set your phone to 2G only

7. Reboot your phone

8. Take off the 2G from your settings

If this doesn't work then do a little more searching. I had a similar problem the other day.

Thanks for the replies but your suggestion didn't work.

If I was to flash another firmware using Odin, would I need to repartition? For some reason since I flashed the RomKitchen rom I can't reliably get into download or recovery mode manually and I'm a bit hesitant to use Odin.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixen4:
I have recently encountered a problem where my phone restarts after i try to install any .apk.

This happens whether it's off the market, or if it's an .apk i got stored on my phone.

This originally happened when i switched to insanity 0.6.0 . Was using Darkys 9.2, and that was working like a charm.

Now I've tried reflashing it with other roms, stock and non stock. Flashed both through CWM, aswell as through odin (used Darky's Ressurection rom)...

What happens is that when i log on to the market for instance, i can download the app i want fine, but as soon as it goes to installing the phone vibrates once, becomes unresponsive for a while, vibrates twice more and reboots the system.

System boots up fine, everything works (that it came prepackaged with) - the only problem is I am unable to install anything at all. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bristolian:
Have you tried a stock 2.1 through odin with repartition, a 3 file version plus pit file (pda, modem, csc). Would also try formatting the internal sd card before reflashing in case anything is wrong there.

Other than that? Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixen4:
Yes i have. Have flashed JM8 and then upgraded from it. did not make any difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webstar1:
Sounds like something went corrupt in the system. Repartition flash to stock and try a rom again.

Edit: also try wiping your sd card (back it up before u do)

its is not required to get a tethering plan, as the lapdock if not a wifi device, its a screen with a keyboard. explain to them that you will have them at work where they will be used only on wifi.

Any way to delete the stock apps that came on the phone? trying to save battery life and they continue to run in the background eating my battery alive
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
There is a way to delete stock apps, but deleting certain apps can cause problems with your phone. I would recommend doing a nand backup before deleting anything just in case.

You HAVE to be rooted to be able to do this.

You will need two apps, both are free:

Terminal Emulator and Android Mate

1. Open terminal emulator and type su to give it su permission

2. You need to mount your /system directory as read/write so you can delete things out of it. To do this, type exactly what I type:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /data/block/mcblk1p2014 /system

(there is a space between the 4 and /system)

3. Now that your /system directory is mounted, you can now start deleting apps. Open Android Mate (it will ask for su permissions, accept)

4. Select the File Explorer tab at the top.

5. Hit the back button twice. This will take you to the root of your SD card.

6. Find the system folder and select it, then select app (should be first folder)

7. Start checking which apps you want to remove. After you have selected everything you want to delete, hit delete and they are gone.

8. Either restart the phone, your type:

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /data/block/mcblk1p2014 /system

This will mount your /system as read-only.

Let me know if you run into any problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lord Bodak:
My current phone is a Nokia E71, but I'm thinking of going to Android after Nokia's news last week. After doing some research, it seems like the Desire Z is the best option available right now (in terms of phones available unlocked and unsubsidized).

Nokia's have always been known for reception and call quality, so I am a bit concerned that I've been spoiled and won't be happy with the DZ. Any concerns there?

As a final question, is it wise to jump now or should I be saving my money for the dual-core phones we'll be seeing this year? Having some Android experience with an Archos 70 tablet, I know I won't be happy with a device I can't root as soon as I receive it, so the newer devices could mean a long wait.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Durkbeef:
To be honest, I haven't been too happy with my G2's reception (coming from a Nexus one) but I happen to live in a ****ty reception area so I don't really know for a fact.

Normally I would say wait a month for the new dual core phones, but there has yet to be an announcment on any Dual Core phones with a hardware keyboard. If that is a deal breaker for you, go ahead and buy the Desire Z.

No matter what phone you choose, it is going to be outpaced in a matter of months, so just buy what you feel is the best phone on the market at the time. I am more than happy with my G2 and probably won't be switching untill a much better phone with a keyboard comes out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Durkbeef:
Also, I just noticed you are from Chesapeake VA... I used to live in Norfolk =) why are you looking at the DZ? the G2 is the same thing without sense and is cheaper.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lord Bodak:
I'm pretty happy with AT&T and T-Mobile's coverage isn't as good around here, especially in the fringe areas.

As for the dual-core phones, I am one of those users hanging on to Media net (non-smartphone data), so I need to stick with phones that AT&T doesn't carry, or I'll be "upgraded" to a smartphone plan. The only upcoming dual-core phone that looks interesting right now is the Atrix (although there may be others I have missed), and since AT&T carries it, I would have to switch data plans.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Durkbeef:
So, from what I've seen. The Atrix did not stand up to all the hype it was given. Mainly because of motoblur, which you can't give rid of because of the locked bootloader.

Listen, the G2 (DZ, whatever) is a great phone, if you keep on worrying about the next best thing you are never gonna get a new phone, Just go for it, I promise you will be happy =)

quick tip, If you want the DZ to work on AT&T 3G get the one from Bell Canada that uses the same 3G bands, otherwise, you are gonna be stuck on edge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
Welcome to the Dark Side. :) I used to run Symbian-Guru.com, and now I'm here. I *love* my G2 (with a Desire Z ROM on it), it's everything the N97 should have been. You'll likely get similar (though not equal) battery life on the Desire Z to your E71, so that's a plus.

I wouldn't worry about what's coming up - the only new Android device announced at MWC that has a keyboard is a Sony Ericsson, and I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. If you don't care about the front-facing camera (which you probably don't), then the G2 is simply fantastic. There's alot of dev support, as well, so you can easily root it (now), and you can overclock and whatnot.

Another big plus is that the Desire Z/G2 is available officially with a Stock rom and a Sense rom, you can easily switch between them (rather than waiting on someone to port one or the other). I personally prefer Sense, mainly due to the superior camera, music, and contacts applications, but everyone's different.

Feel free to DM me or whatever if you have any questions, especially coming from the Symbian world.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
About the time symbian guru closed down was about the same time i got fed up with symbians lack of inovation. After a string of nokias and samsung i8910 i sold a few of my old phones and brought my first android phone. I will never look back.

G2 is an awesome phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I'm in the exact same boat as you. The unlimited media net at $10/month is too good to let go of especially in today's world of mobile data pricing.

The reception on the Desire Z is average. If I had to rate it, I would give it a 7/10. The biggest let down I have noticed is that when using the phone in landscape mode with the keyboard open, my signal drops rather significantly. In most areas, this is not a problem but my home is somewhat rural and my reception here has always been so-so (around 95-105dbm). At home it will sometimes drop me from H to Edge when using the keyboard. Call quality has been solid, never had any issues. The speaker is weak compared to my Blackberry Bold but that phone had an AMAZING speaker, the best I've ever had on a cell phone. I use my bluetooth most of the time and it is loud and clear, speaking directly into the phone is fine as well, plenty loud.

I have used the E71 as well as numerous Blackberry devices. The signal on my Blackberry was definitely stronger (ranged between 90-95dbm in home). Not only was it stronger but also more consistent. Although the DZ has a weaker signal, its not such a difference that it causes problems for me.

All of that being said, the Desire Z is a great device. I loved my Blackberry but the OS was falling behind and the development by RIM was too slow for me. If you need a hardware keyboard and want a great Android device on AT&T's network, then this is a great option. I have mulled going and buying an Atrix as well but I really don't want to pay an additional $15 a month for data AND be limited to 2GB...
[G2 and Desire Z General] semifly:
That's exactly what I did when I upgraded, and I got the phone that I wanted with the plan that I needed (G2/TM). I wanted a hard keyboard and (initially) Stock Froyo or sense. Reception and battery life have, for the most part been solid.

jpwd
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lord Bodak:
Considering that your blog was a big part of my decision to buy the E71 in the first place, I guess I'll have to take your advice again and buy the DZ when my tax refund comes in.
