[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gezza77:
Keep getting 170 error with ruu? strange because if i type "fastboot devices" it shows my phone? any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Have you googled the error or do you have anymore info?

Phone should be in fastboot mode.

Try turning off any antivirus etc...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gezza77:
yep its the usb error which is strange, i can see the phone using fastboot, the phone shows in device manager as android bootloader interface. I have disabled antivirus and am about to hit it with a lump hammer..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido89:
Are u using win 7 .... try run as admin that .exe ..... or download RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release and try .... it must work :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Try reinstalling htc sync if you have it installed. USB debugging enabled on the phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gezza77:
I was just going to try reinstalling htc sync.. Thanks for the help

usb debugging was on but not sure as its boot looping
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gezza77:
result!! it has come back to life. reinstalling htc sync sorted the 170 error! ruu flashed successfully.

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. was the one i had and caused the problem.

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00. worked

Thanks for the replys and help :)

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorol...lack/2103374.p?id=1218309066828&skuId=2103374

Just curious, would it fit the gtab? it looks very cool.

Xoom 10 x 6.7 x 1 (from bestbuy)

gtab 10.5 x 6.8 x ? (from viewsonic site)

If I find it in store, I can buy it and try it.. but it is out of stock..
[G Tablet Accessories] Butch1326:
Ask the MOD to move to this posting to the G Tablet Accessories thread.

I saw dimensions for the case where it was only 9.8", not 10". It really needs to be close to 10.5" because of the plastic casing that holds the tablet inside the case. I ruled it out, but if you are willing to give it a try when it becomes available again, please report back to this posting.

You're correct, I picked one up and it does not fit.
[General Questions and Answers] Herbiced:
Hi I was looking into jumping on the wagon on making roms. I want to know what does it take make a custom rom. Is there any good step by step guides or any good resources for making ROMS.

I want to make my own ROM for the Vibrant and maybe the new GS 4g and the Thunderbolt when and if it comes out...

Thanks in Advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Herbiced:
so it looks like no one has any good resources fo :( . I'm a programer and a nerd i'm not a neewbie with android. i just want to know where to start with making a Rom. I asked the mighty Google but no good answers from him.
[General Questions and Answers] ThanatosSelisen:
Yeah having the same problem ;-) wait until you have 10 post and post your question in the dev forum according to the phone you want to develop roms for :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwebby:
Tonight my Google calendar events in every calendar bar the default calendar stopped appearing in the phone. I can still see them in Google calendar via the web browser but they no longer appear in the calendar app. I've checked all the settings within calendar and the various Google calendars still appear there and are ticked to sync and show in the app but events from other calendars do not. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagghshield:
I had the same problem before. I fixed it by following the instructions from the quote below. This is from the google mobile help forum posted by BSteck. You should backup your default (on the phone) calendar before doing this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwebby:
Thanks. That worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagghshield:
No problem =]

Dunno why this happens but at least this fixes the issue. Annoying when you don't have calendars showing up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
This may be a stupid question but do I have to have ROM manager on my phone and keep updating it if I dont use it. I use RA to do all my flashing. Thanks for the help in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
uninstall rom manager, you dont need it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
you do not need rom manager, it just provides a simpler way to get to recovery. if you delete rom manager then you have to access amon ra via bootloader then to recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandroid:
No need. ROM manager just makes it easier to flash...in some case you directly dl and flash with ROM manager. But RA is better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
ROM manager isn't needed, just easier to download roms. You can still get to recovery from the bootloader and selecting recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I get into recovery by holding my power button and selecting recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That's how everyone has to [on an Evo]. ROM manager also you to get to recovery from the app, not a big difference really.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
aww, thought mine was special
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well be happy you know how, some people still don't know that "bootloader" screen. So, juu are special. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
I'm using cm 7 and when holding power down I only get power off reboot silent and airplane. I use quickboot to boot to recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
after you chose reboot in those options it will then give you the option for normal/recovery/bootloader
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Right, that's the standard CM7 menu. If you use ROM manager, there is an option to boot into recovery, from within the app. The other way is when first starting the phone, hold vol+down while turning it on. Or as you do, quickboot can be used.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
or terminal "reboot recovery"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I think terminal may be a bit much for him. xp

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
I recently obtain a Desire Z and immediately rooted and installed various ROMS. All is working great.

The problem is the hardware keyboard is a qwertz one (I bought the phone in Switzerland) and not a qwerty one. I want to the switch the keymap around such that z prints y and vice versa. I've set the keyboard setting to UK and US English but it has no effect on the h/w k/b.

I'm familiar with adb but don't know which files to hack on. Please can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snudel:
the hardware keyboard layout is fixed.

the setting in menu is only changing the software keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
Thanks for the reply.

But I don't buy it. This can be changed somehow and someone knows how. I'll keep hacking and post back with any useful results.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
I have a sneaking feeling that it should be able to be cooked in. Even on Winmo, you can change your keyboard's layout, i don't see why android, a platform that is much more advanced, would not be able to do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanth:
This is just a hunch, but you probably just need to modify /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad.kl and possibly /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (they're both plain text files, but with unix line endings)

On a UK QWERTY Desire Z:

Key 21 is Y

Key 44 is Z

If your files have them round the other way, it should just be a simply case of swapping them and rebooting (nandroid first though!)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
Great. I tried those files and no good so I went for the heavy handed approach after mounting system as rw and su'ing:

cd /system/usr/keylayout

sed -i s/Y/--/ *

sed -i s/Z/Y/ *

sed -i s/--/Z/ *

Job done! Thanks for your help :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRuMah:
For the almost-beginners:

Connect your phone in sync-mode, run cmd, navigate do adb directory (search forum for adb if you didn't get it) and type:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keylayout
sed -i s/Y/--/ *
sed -i s/Z/Y/ *
sed -i s/--/Z/ *

Best regards to all :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohaa32:
shall be rooted to run these?

am getting access denied!!!!!11111
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickx:
Well obviously you need root to write to /system/ partition.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueluli:
Hi, I've tried this on my Desire Z and it indeed switched the 'y' and 'z' character keys on the hardware keyboard.

The downside is that is also changes the corresponding FN symbols (i.e. number six character '6' and underscore character '_').

Do you know wether it is possible to switch the letters but not the symbols?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
I don't know about the symbols. My guess is you have to live with it. I do. Yes, it's annoying but IMO about 10% as annoying as the original problem.

I would also add that on ICS, the above changes b0rked the keyboard (probably due to the sed script replacing stuff it ought not have). So I used this instead:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keylayout
sed -i s/'key 44 '/'key XX '/g *
sed -i s/'key 21 '/'key 44 '/g *
sed -i s/'key XX '/'key 21 '/g *
adb reboot

If I have to do this one more time, I'm going to make an app.....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueluli:
In the end I managed to fix the symbols by editing some hex file I can't recall right now. I can check it out later and post what I did if anyone is interested.

Couldn't come up with a simple command like yours though, and edited it by hand by downloading to the PC and uploading after modification. It can probably be done using regular expressions, but they are not my biggest strength ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
Good job :) I'm certainly interested. If you could post specific details that would be great!

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueluli:
Sorry for the delay, but I've had quite a busy week...

The file that I modified was /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-ger.kcm.bin My phone was bought from Germany, so if you have a different region phone the specific file you need to edit might be a different one.

I edited it on Windows with xvi32 hex editor (GHex on Ubuntu works fine as well), and the nice thing about it is that you can see the hexadeciman values on the left and their ASCII counterparts on the right. It was quite easy to find the sections 'yY__' and 'zZ66'. You only need to change those to 'yY66' and 'zZ__' and voilá.

If you already have your 'y' and 'z' keys swapped (but the symbols out of place), you should changed change the '6's and '_'s. If you have the letters on their original positions you should then change the letters instead, and the symbols will stay where they are.

Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
Great job :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] needubad:
little help

hi. how you manage to change permission of file vision-keypad-ger.kcm.bin ?

I tried with adb, it's not working. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueluli:
You need to mount the /system partition as rw to be able to modify that file. You can do that with

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

while logged as root in the adb shell.

If you already did that and are still unable to modify the file then I'm afraid I cannot be of much help :confused:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
A soft brick, in this case, is when you make a bad edit to your framework files and the phone won't fully boot and starts flashing a red LED at you.

There is one catch, you only get about 1-2min to do all of this before the phone reboots on its own. If that happens, do SuperOneClick steps again and continue where you left off. Better yet, build a script to do it all for you ;)

Power off your device

Enter Fastboot:

Hold Volume down + power until you see Fastboot at the top left

Use volume down to scroll down to "Early USB Enumeration" (

only shows one item at a time, if you pass it, keep going down, up selects

)

Press Volume up to select

Wait for ADB to enable, run "Shell Root" from SuperOneClick, wait until it says you have root.

Enter adb shell from command line, You should have root(#) access:

adb shell

Mount the system directory as read/write:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

Make a new directory on /data for your recovery files: (sdcard wont be mounted yet)

mkdir /data/recover

Exit adb shell:

exit

Push your known working files to the new directory:

adb push /path/to/local/file.ext /data/recovery

Enter adb shell from command line:

adb shell

Copy your newly pushed recovery files to their proper location:

cp /data/recover/services.jar /system/framework

cp /data/recover/framework.jar /system/framework

cp /data/recover/famework-res.apk /system/framework

Reboot:

reboot now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] psufan5:
Thanks! Extremely happy you are deving for this phone :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
What's the best way to backup my stock partitions before I keep playing with those files?

Titan Backup works for that?

Or just a tar cf /mnt/sdcard/systembackup.tar /system , works?

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
I would just use the tar solution, much easier to deal with.

You can also use ADB, adb pull /system system

Also, the retail dump I did matched my phone dump bit for bit, as long as you have that you should be fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
Thanks! I am messing around with the APKs and scripts to get the webtop to work without the dock. So I wanted to make sure I was covered.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lpsi2000:
I already did both adb pull of system and tar, but how did you do the retail dump?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
tar dump as root of system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
One last question.

Once I deodex my /system/app, should I just do a adb push app /system/app and then rm /system/app/*.odex ?

I am used to use the update.zip trick on the captivate. But I am not sure how to proceed on this phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
push apps, then push framework, reboot, then delete all the odex files, reboot

from system do something like; find . -name "*.odex" -exec rm {} \;
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lpsi2000:
Unrelated to this, I could sware yesterday I got to the recovery screen where I was able to wipe stuff and also be able to use update.zip. Although I did not use and update files but saw the option there. Today I am looking everywhere but the recovery screen does not come up with the options. I only see exclamation point and the droid. May be I am going nuts but can anyone confirm this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
tap at the bottom right of the screen right above the search button
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lpsi2000:
ahha, thank you. Now I know I am going crazy. I used it yesterday to wipe when the system was unstable on me after playing around with the framework. I am must have stumble on that by accident. I am wondering if this documented yet somewhere around here.

Also too bad we cannot get root from there yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] realawill:
Well thank you for this. So when it boots to run, does it do a sys check to verify files are the same size or what? Anyway went to my local AT&T store and they swapped it out for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
No, I just made a bad edit and it was FC hell
[Atrix 4G Android Development] azy8000:
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ME

I have been trying this trick for many times. The device restart and SuperOneClick hanging without any result.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] realawill:
Crazy....mine just would not reboot. But good to know that there is a way to recover. Love the phone but hate Motorola. Wish that it was easy as the Cappy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] connexion2005:
Cool stuff. I may snatch the framework off the phone in stock form and make a batch package for this so folks can easily just double click to restore their framework and system app folder.

Good work DG...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] connexion2005:
I never get past that initial... Starting RSD protocol support screen. Is that fast boot? If so I'm a retard...

EDIT: I need the face palm sticky. It's not Volume UP...it's Volume Down. Reading comprehension for the loss...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
I have done this several times now, it works
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
I soft bricked my Atrix earlier this morning, and used this to recover. The time limit is a serious pain!

I ended up needing to separate /system into 5 separate pushes of 30MB each in order to get them done in time.

Oddly, after restoring everything, the phone is no longer associated with my motoblur account, and I can't add it.

Also, I think there my be some files in /system that are unaccounted for by the filesystem, as there is 70MB more than what is present.

Edit:

Restoring the system fixed both above problems.

[EVO Shift 4G General] germancarsrock:
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.
