Hey guys,

I've got a problem with my clockworkmod recovery! The last days my DHD began to freeze after unlocking the screen. The only solution was to remove the battery and do a restart. The time of using my phone become shorter and shorter till today I could only unlock my SIM card and then it froze. After that I wanted to flash an update of my firmware Revolution HD.

I got an error:

Flashing boot.img...

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")

E: Error in /sdcard/Software/Android_Revolution_HD_4G_3.0.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

When I want to restore with an old backup it says:

Erasing boot before restore...

E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"

Error while formatting BOOT: !

E: can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Maybe someone got the same error? Or maybe someone has got an idea to solve my problem?!

Thank you guys!

EDIT:

If I want to "wipe cache partition" there's the same error:

E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)

I have the same exact problem, I am trying to switch ROMs but I want to install CWM 3 over 2.5.1.0. It's giving me the same exact error when I wipe or try to flash anything. No solution yet..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VorTeX`:
Please inform me if you have a solution....!

I tried to downgrade with this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

But it is without success.

Don't know if it would work to format the cache and flash a new cwm version via fastboot...:-S

No ideas guys?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
First we have to know about your S-OFF, do you have Radio S-OFF, ENG S-OFF, SuperCID?

If you have ENG S-OFF, you can try flashing ClockworkMod again in fastboot. I will write you instructions if it comes to that.

If you have Radio S-OFF & SuperCID, we can inject stock ROM into your phone via a PC, or load it from the SD card in bootloader.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VorTeX`:
Hey jkoljo!

Thank you for helping!

My DHD has permroot, ENG and RADIO S-OFF, HBOOT and SuperCID. A flashed different CWM's. It worked, but the error was the same - with all versions of CWM.

I tried to flash the RUU with this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

The first two steps worked fine:

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

But in the next line:

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter

...there is an error. It says "no directory"

Today I have to assert that my sdc failed. With an adapter I put it into my laptop. First of all I backuped the whole card. Formated it and then I wanted to copy just the important files. There was an unkown error and after that I had no access. I formated it again but while copying there was the same error. I want to try flashing the RUU with another sdc, but don't have another one at home.

In which mode should I try to flash it? In the guide you should choose charge only and debugging enabled, but as you know my DHD does not boot!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You do not need to do those psneuter commands etc, just put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD (try to get a working card) and reboot to bootloader.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VorTeX`:
Doesn't I have to install it via CWM? Just reboot the bootloader?!

Should I copy the *.zip into the root of the sdc for that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Not in CWM, in the bootloader. And yep, put the PD98IMG.zip into the root of the SD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VorTeX`:
Mh...bootloader started the update. But while updating the Radio_v2 it hang up. It was working about an hour but it was frozen. And now I cannot start the phone...

Think there is no other way to send it to the support isnt it? :-S
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mullicious:
Pull the battery and try again, if that fails again, try replacing the PD file, with a new copy, it may have gone bad/corrupt along the way, if that fails, I'm stumped. But I'm sure there's more that could be done without having to send it back to HTC.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VorTeX`:
I cannot switch the phone on. No bootloader, no CWM - just the black screen. It will not work to copy a new PD-File on my sdc. And I'm absolutly sure that the PD-File is not damaged - I downgraded it with the same file some weeks ago :-S

[Xoom General] Martijn77:
I bought a Xoom in the US last week and am extremely satisfied with it.

However, it appears I can't use the 3G functionality of the Xoom in The Netherlands (where I live), because the European/Dutch Vodafone 3G system is different from Verizon's (HSPDA vs. EVDO). 4G LTE will become available in Europe in about one year, so that's not an option...

From what I understood, this is a hardware issue that cannot be fixed by a software modification.

My question is pretty simple: as I would really hate to return my Xoom to BestBuy... Do you think it'd be possible in a few months, when the Motorola Xoom becomes available in Europe, to have my (US) Xoom hardware-modified to fit the European 3G-standard? And would that be costly?

Thanks
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Just sell the one you have and buy a new one on contract since you need to use the 3G.
[Xoom General] Martijn77:
I would like that, but the Xoom won't make it's way to The Netherlands very soon, while Motorola has no official import in our country (as far as I know).
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
No, this won't work. The chipset in the Xoom is for CDMA. Almost all of Europe's major 3G coverage/carriers are GSM, which has a different chipset.

Just pickup the GSM Euro version when it comes out. I believe preorders are already up in some countries if I'm not mistaken.
[Xoom General] Martijn77:
Oke, then that's what I'll do... Thanks all!
[Xoom General] SmokeMasta:
the UK and germany have the euro version of the xoom out next month.

already seen some adds of the UK version beeing simlock free .. dont know if the german version will be simlock free.

if their simlock free it doesnt matter where you get them since you can change the language on the xoom to your local language or to english
[Xoom General] freemsk1:
R U sure? iFixit state Qualcomm MDM6600 in their teardown, and that is http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releas...nces-commercial-availability-gobi3000-modules As said there, "The Gobi 3000 reference design is based on Qualcomm’s MDM6200™ and MDM6600™ chipsets, both of which can provide support for HSPA+ data rates of up to 14.4 Mbps. The MDM6600 also supports CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B". So CDMA is an additional capability? Am I wrong?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Yes you are right. That is the chipset. But only the CDMA is enabled. Just because the chipset is theoretically capable when it leaves Qualcomm, doesn't mean it isn't made to be used for CDMA when its put into the Xoom. It was covered in several of the threads when the iFixIt teardown came out.

Even then, there isn't even a place to put a non-LTE SIM card into the device, how would it work? From my understanding, LTE SIM cards are different (and different sized), and it wouldn't necessarily be compatible with normal SIM cards.

The amount of hackery required to get this to potentially work on a GSM carrier isn't worth it. Its much easier to just get the GSM version coming out in Europe if you're gonna use in Europe. Because of the fact that there is GSM versions of the Xoom, I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually saw it on GSM carriers here, but that depends on the deal Verizon has with Motorola.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
I didn't hold it up to compare, but the plastic insert for where the LTE SIM card will go looks very similar in size to my SIM card I had when I was on AT&T. I know they're starting to move toward MicroSIM cards, but this LTE slot looked the same (if not very close) size as regular SIM cards.

I doubt sticking a SIM Card in there would allow it to work on a GSM network though. Perhaps the LTE SIM is thicker/thinner than a regular one. I have no idea.
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
In principle, yes. The LTE chipset is supposed to come in mini PCI-e format and go into the Xoom at that currently blank slot. IF this was a PC, you could get a PCI-e HSPA card, install appropriate driver and maybe some tweaks here and there to make it running. The problem is, there is not a PC. No one knows what network cards would work with the Xoom, and there is probably no driver that works with it. Heck, that PCI-e slot is probably not even working right now, considering the fact that even something as simple as the SD card slot is not working.
[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
I am almost in a similar situation. I got a Xoom and then found out I would be traveling shortly after. I just thought to return but then by a stroke of seriously bad luck i dropped it and made two small very superficial scratches/dents to the aluminum shell. Now best buy will not accept it.

The country I am going to has at least two CDMA carriers but of course I am locked to Verizon. I am willing to go for either a "legal" unlock from Verizon (if that is even possible, I dont expect much mercy from them), or even better - the miracle of being able to use the deactivated GSM functionality of the Xoom.

If anyone has any advice on either of these possibilities, please let me know.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
I'm just wondering, how often do you guys hit HSDPA (or have it display HSDPA in the status or H icon if ROM'd)?

I feel like my phone never hits HSDPA and is always on UMTS. I am on CM7 so I can easily see when my phone is on H and sometimes I see it hit H when it's not even downloading anything and idling. And when I do download something, it's usually always 3G. What is up with that? And I'm in North Dallas if anyone on here has the Nexus S too with the same issue. :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
always have it on. it never labels itself as "3G" (UMTS) in my area (new york). It depends on your area, if your area has HSDPA support then you should try updating your radio if you haven't already.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
aw mine has the new I9020XXKB3 radio with Netarchy 1.2.5-cfs. It rarely ever goes HSDPA. I see my friends Galaxy S Captivate and his always says H.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Stock Captivate doesn't have H, it appears as "3G" it is possibly he could of applied a hack that replaces 3G whether it is on UMTS or HSDPA as "H"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
I have it on all the time I live in Tampa,FL

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I'm in Washington State (not DC) and I get the H pretty regularly however my speeds never seem "HSPA"-like, they're usually max out at maybe 1MBps whereas I can usually hit 5ish on 3G. Never
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Well, isn't the Captivate on AT&T and you're on TMo with an NS? You can't compare two phones on two different networks like that.

AT&T has a much better network, in my opinion. I very frequently see H speeds on my AT&T Galaxy S phone in places where I can't even get plain 3G on the Nexus S TMo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I laughed a little bit on the inside. :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Better in that it has the highest rate of dropped calls?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babluc:
Im also in Dallas, was wondering what your download and upload speeds were. I was getting close to 5/mbs down last month but now i get around 3/mbs. Have you noticed a difference?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babluc:
deleted comment reposted the same thing
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Whatever dudes...

Point was the OP is trying to figure out why his friends modded Captivate gets an H signal on AT&T and his unmodded NS doesn't in the same location with TMobile - you can't compare two phones on two networks and derive anything meaningful about the proper functioning of one of them in regards to gettting HSPA or not.

As to the snide AT&T bashing, again, whatever... In the areas of Los Angeles, Southern California, Arizona and Nevada that I personally frequent, AT&T provides much better service. YMMV may vary, obviously. It's all about where you're at for all of the networks.

For me, if I'm going someplace and I know I HAVE TO have a signal to make a call, you can bet I'm taking my AT&T phone with me because I am certain to find more dead zones with TMo than I do on AT&T. AT&T may drop calls, but at least it can make them in places TMo can't, like inside a building.

But you didn't really want to turn this into a back and forth on AT&T vs TMo did you? :eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Get it all the time .. ...when its turned on
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
keyword modded. the OP didn't specify what ROM the person was using because I know for the SGS based phones there is a mod available that replaces the 3G icon (regardless of UMTS or HSDPA) to 4G or H depending on the mod.

its easy to fake something on Android, its just as easy as manipulating your Android version or making 2.2.X looking like Gingerbread.

And hell.. look on Engadget on the Inspire 4G review. This supposedly AT&T 4G phone's speeds compared to T-Mobile's HSDPA (3.5G) are just a joke.

Especially when HSUPA is disabled on the Inspire 4G. AT&T just doesn't respect the Android OS, all they simply do is cripple the phone.

- Disabling "unknown source" apps from being installed. Yeah, yeah.. we can hack it and enable it again. But for the average user, it isn't happening.

- Now.. HSUPA

Repeated again...

:D:D:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Huh?

What does the Inspire have to do with this? What does AT&T's "4G" network have to do with it? We're talking about the current HSPA network because that's all either the Captivate or Nexus S which were being compared support. I'm also confused about why you posted a comparison of two different TMobile phones, one a "4G" phone and the other not a "4g" phone and their speedtest results.

The comment I responded to said his Nexus S doesn't get HSPA in Dallas when his friend's Captivate does. It's very plausible to me that his friend's getting HSPA service and he's not. In my experience, with my AT&T Galaxy S phone sitting next to my TMo Nexus S, the AT&T phone will routinely be on 5 bars of voice signal and have a full speed (4Mb/s) data connection available to me while the Nexus S on TMo is 0 bars of voice and EDGE data if anything at all. Even when on HSPA connection, the Nexus S can't pull more than 3Mb/s around here, so AT&T beats them in speed as well as coverage. I have active SIMS in both phones and often have them side by side. Based on my experience it seems perfectly reasonable to believe that other areas are the same.

The Galaxy S phones support HSPA up to 7.2mb/s...same as the Nexus S. Whatever a modded phone displays for that connection is irrelevant to what I said, which was, in my opinion, that AT&T has a better network. Here in Los Angeles, it covers more square miles than TMo, it penetrates buildings with full bars and 3G/HSPA speeds when TMo can't even push GSM voice or EDGE data into the same building and it doesn't drop calls any more frequently than TMo does.

Which brings me back to my original point to the author of that comment: I'm not sure what he thinks comparing the signal indicator on his NS to his friend's Captivate is actually revealing. He's got two different phones on two different networks and both are obviously modded in some manner; the only clear conclusion to me is that unless he's screwed up his NS somehow, his friend's got better reception because it's a better network in their area. I suspect this is commonplace across the major metros around the country.

Hi guys,

i recently bought the nook color with the ebay coupon and i am running the Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 Image for SDcard. With the nookie room, i tried to download apps from market and noticed that the wifi connectivity speed is extremely slow that it was unusable which also applied to web browsing. So i read bunch of thread about the nook color having wifi issue and i thought it was hardware related issue. However, when i tried the nook color stock rom with auto nooter root method, i didn't notice the connectivity issue anymore. I burn to SD card twice with low format but same thing happend. I want to use 2.2 rom but i don't know what to do from this point.
[Nook Color General] Lightning N1:
I can confirm the wifi issues noted in post above, I have exact same setup. I was thinking it may have been due to my Kingston 8G/class 4 SD? I could not get signed into gmail due to unreliable connection.

I think I am just going to load Rom manager and flash recovery.
[Nook Color General] teddyh2o:
I am using Kingston 16GB Class10.

I guess i will also flash the recovery.....
[Nook Color General] Lightning N1:
It would have been nice to run this alternate android version off the SD card and keep the stock rooted version on the Nook for access to Barnes & Noble account functionality but that's like having your cake and eating it too :D

I was going to load Gingerbread next anyway, and then try a Honeycomb test. So I guess it's not worth it to me to keep struggling with running a ROM off the SD card for now.

It seems like it is extremely easy to revert back to stock firmware, so I don't have an issue with trying different options:cool:
[Nook Color General] matt310:
Same setup here...same issues. Wifi is really, really slow. There are threads 20 pages deep that document running froyo from the SD card.

The replacement is having the same wifi issues when running from the SD card. How is this not being talked about more, I wonder?
