STOP!!!

ALL READ!!!

Sheesh!

C'mon ppl! Looks like I am right to forego updating to gingerbread. Obviously there are few and far in between who actually know what the hell they are doing! No user manuals no documentation not a single authoritative source.

I am impressed with how unimpressive the situation is. It is my understanding that the best you guys can do is flash ROMs and comment on how pretty the colors are! Folks, wake up and get organized. I have never seen so many people begging to be hacked in my life!

Calling all hackers! Calling all hackers! Welcome to paradise!

I have seen the promised land!

Give me a break. When you guys find 10 developers who are willing to team up and work under the guidance of a single project manager I will take your ROM seriously. How much more work could be done If you all didn't have to work out the same problems on your own?

You can have your variety and your pretty colors. I would much rather have a phone that works completely and runs better than anything else in the market! Without the back doors and hidden rootkits of course.

I'm sticking with fro yo until I find a group of people capable of administering my device for me. And I've got news for all you flashers. My phone will always have more capability than yours even with the latest and greatest updates because I know what the hell I'm doing with it. 99.9 percent of you don't even know what POSIX is or even how to use it. You couldn't catch hacker 1 if you wanted to. But I bet you can tell me all about what rom released last night.

Lol. That is too funny.

It's called read only memory (ROM.) But they keep over writing it! Proof that it wasn't worth over writing in the first place.

What do you talking about man?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I'm closing this for three reasons.

First and foremost! Wrong section! This is for DEVELOPMENT! What does that mean? When you DEVELOP something... post it in this forum. Simple.

This is a pointless thread that's going nowhere but flameville.

If I don't do it now... I'll regret it later. ;)

I am trying to run a nandroid back up and install 2.3 gingerbread.

I keep going to the recovery link and this is what I get....

I have searched and I can't find anything talking about this icon.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks in advanced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Put the file I attached on your sdcard and boot into the bootloader, select update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. That image is that you tried to boot into recovery, but there is no recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That means that you don't have a custom recovery installed. Did you have a recovery prior to this? If you're still rooted, and your bootloader shows S-off, all you need to do is flash a custom recovery. Power your phone off. Boot to the bootloader, confirm that it shows S off. If so, cool, you just need recovery. I would use Amon Ra 2.3, it's the most reliable recovery in my opinion. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3. You need to download it, confirm that it's named exactly PC36IMG, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. Power your phone off, and boot to the bootloader. It will scan, and then ask you to update. Select volume up for yes. It will flash the recovery, then when it's finished, select recovery from the bootloader. You should no longer have the triangle, and now it should be a black screen, green letters, and say amon ra supersonic 2.3 or something like that, at the bottom. Make your nandroids, do your wiping and flashing from there. Good luck.

EDIT: I was beaten! Teh Roxx is too fast!

Well thank you, but you and kbuckley also know what you're talking about. :)

Thanx dude. Its an android team bombardment of info. Helping others with their Evo's

No problem, its all about helping others. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
Very cool guys, thanks a bunch.

So I need to download a separate app to do back ups?

Sorry I am confused, the Hero was a little bit easier for me to figure out. IDK why this phone is giving me a hard time.

If there isa video on how to do a back up.

(EDIT) I guess I am not making myself clear. I need to know how to perform a proper back up so that once I download the new rom I have a back up incase I mess up some how.

Thanks in advanced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, on amon_ra 2.3 First make a separate backup of your wimax, and then copy it to your pc for safe keeping. Then make another with everything, except the wimax...you need the first 3 options, but everything after that is at your discretion.

Edit: Well you need titanium backup [personally] recommend to backup your apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
Okay, how do you do a nandroid on the phone. I am really sorry guys. I am just missing something here, it is obviously going right over my head.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
oh, and by the way I hate that I have to use my brothers PC every time I want to mess around with this phone. ( I have a mac...)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You boot into recovery and select backup/restore and backup if on clockwork, nandroid if on amon_ra
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
Im not on either? I guess. I used z4 to root. Is that my problem. I decided to start messing around with my phone again today and it got stuck on that screen of the photo I posted again. So I unhooked my battery and now it continues to boot into that screen. :( Any help for this? Thanks in advanced guys/gals.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
Nevermind, I figured out that is I held down my volume button when I powered up it allowed me to go into that menu and then I unhooked the battery and it was able to boot up that way. Still need a link or explanation on what Amon RA is.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
So what don't you understand?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
I do the steps on the wiki and this comes up

So I guess I dont have amonRA, and I don't know how to get it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah, no recovery. Flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader, apply update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3

You can also flash it from rom manager, but rom manager is only on version 2.2 of amon_ra.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oefootball_70:
Okay, wow thank you. I totally missed that earlier.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
Hey guys,

Quick question: is £42 (around $67) a good deal for an apparently dead HTC Desire?

Thanks,

redbullcat

I don't know much about the phone, other than it won't turn on. But a friend is offering to sell me one, and as an Android geek, I was immediately interested :)
[HD2 Accessories] nchall:
Does anyone know of a good skin/holster combo for the HD2 that has a silicone type skin on the phone and allows for it to be put face in in a holster?

I currently have it in the HD2 silicone case and am just looking for a holster that will fit with the added bulk, but am not opposed to buying a new skin/holster combo.

Thanks!
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
It is a bit thicker, but the Otterbox defender comes with a holster that one can use either face in or face out. Not sure if you want that much protection.

Or this

HTC EVO 4G

4.8" x 2.6" x 0.5"

(122 x 66 x 12.7 mm)

T-MO HTC HD2

4.8" x 2.64" x 0.43"

(122 x 67 x 11 mm)

Look at size comparison of the two phones. I ordered the Seidio case below and it fits perfect.

The Sprint store has the horizontal leather case with magnetic closure, that fits too.

GO to seidioonline and search for Product Code: HLHEV4AS

If you order this holster make sure it reads Spring-Clip Holster for use with non-cased device.

Got mine today... Love it.

[Captivate General] Seanbest:
Ok s I searched and searched, but I remember seeing a thread awhile back and some guy mentioned enabling HSUPA with a stock modem using the "secret codes" or whatever. I've seen those with SGSTools, and I see the HSDPA and HSUPA settings, but don't see anything about enabling or disabling.

I can't seem to find any of these threads, I found a bunch of old ones with no answers and threads talking about international modems.

I have the stock AT&T modem on AT&T official 2.2. Before suggesting a ROM or new modem, please don't.

I just want to know if it is possible to enable HSUPA without changing modems. I think the answer is no, but I've seen people mention otherwise, but figured that information would everywhere if it were true, so I just want a definite answer.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Nope, it looks like the HSUPA functionality (or lack thereof) lies in the modem.bin. So for right now, the only way to enable HSUPA on your Captivate is to try a new modem. :p
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The code appears to enable HSUPA but it does not make any difference in speed up the upload speed. So, no, it does not work.

You have to change the modem (and compatible ROM/kernel).
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
So is stock kb1 compatible? And what's the closest modem to stock that should work? Pref. A modem designed with captivate source.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You have to go custom ROM route. Most custom ROMs have HSUPA enabled modem. AFAIK, there is no HSUPA enabled modem compatible with any captivate stock firmware. But I maybe wrong on this. You need go to Captivate Dev forum to find out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamirda:
Hi guys,

i have problem in my device.

Any time, after i come back from the recovery, the rom says:

-The sim location changed

-You need to log in to your Gmail account.

Why its happening? Is that Phone problem? (It happends in any rom :\)

What should i do?

thx

The app wireless tether does not work for me anymore. It says wireless tether has started with errors. I check the log and many things failed such as setting channel, setting essid, setting ad-hoc mode, and activating wifi interface. How can I get this to work? Running CM7 with the HDMI kernel.
[EVO 4G General] :
Same here. I tried to reinstall and it doesn't work. I'm using UD and Myn's.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
doesn't work on cm7 with savage zen either

no errors but nothing will see it when scanning
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
The only thing I have got to work is Barnacle..and also the built in hot spot works well too.
[EVO 4G General] moonka:
I've been having the same issue. Barnacle works but that only does an adhoc network, so my PS3 and Kindle won't connect to it :(
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Works fine on my stock 2.2 Evo. Just used it today.
[EVO 4G General] moonka:
I had the same problem, but I was able to get it working with version 2.08-pre1 ***Experimental***. The latest version did not work for me on CM7 nightly, and the native one didn't work either, but the version above works like a charm!
[EVO 4G General] dabbill:
Native one works perfect for me on CM7 build 22.
[EVO 4G General] ant76:
Works great on ava z3 rom for 3g as for 4g I have to use the green tether or i get the you have not subscribed to this service call sprint like yea I'm gonna pay to use 4g and kill my battery
[EVO 4G General] bossjeeves:
go into rom manager and choose fix permissions.. bingo!

if that doesnt work check wifi settings and make sure that you dont already have a preinstalled tethering app ( some newer roms like destroyer have this built in )

Try a different kernel
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackeruti:
So I was trying to hardwire the USB cable into my car and now all of a sudden, it won't charge the phone. Tried different charger and battery to no luck. Took a peek inside the board and everything seems fine.

Does this mean it's DOA and I'd have to buy another phone? I just ordered a Seido battery and battery charger so I may live on that for a while. Please advise.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbaird7:
So you hardwired your usb cable to a 12v power supply?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackeruti:
Yes. I did this same thing before to my other car and it worked flawless. Obviously didn't work with this one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Wait, it messed up the phone is what you are saying? It doesn't turn on at all? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackeruti:
No it turns on fine, but the battery refuses to be charged.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I would take it back to Verizon. Once they see that it isn't charging they will give you a refurb.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackeruti:
I would do that if I hadn't rooted it and took out the physical parts to replace the glass and LCD display. Basically it's voided.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Well if it won't turn on at all, it being rooted wont matter. You no longer have the green "void" sticker on the bottom left screw?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTekk:
Dude, REALLY?! Come on, please tell me you're kidding. 5 volts DC is what USB devices take and you're wondering why your phone won't charge after giving it way more voltage than it needs? Your phone is done. Hint: don't attempt this again unless you can step the voltage down to 5V DC at no more than 1 amp. It'll work fine in the car if you can step the voltage and amperage down to the required level. Phones toast thought.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Merlingo11:
Apologies to more experienced users who might be weary of newbie bricks, but I'm sitting here staring at a red, green, blue and white screen, and nothing seems to work. I've read a lot of threads, but haven't found an answer to my dilemma.

I have an HD2 running on T-Mobile USA. My computer is a PC running Windows 7. I'm trying to get Android running using the NAND method.

Currently, I've flashed SPL-3.03 as well as Magldr 1.13 -- which said it completed successfully, but I never got the Magldr menu, just the T-Mobile screen. Frozen. I've tried flashing a variety of different versions of SPL as well as a variety of different versions of Magdlr, based on recommendations in the threads.

When my screen froze on T-Mobile, I tried to reboot, did a soft reset and then a hard reset. Nada.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jsmccabe78:
note, in the first lines of the installation instructions you nee 2.08HSPL - not 3.03 (or any SPL). see here.

so, boot into bootloader. connect to cpu via usb. using hspl4 change to 2.08HSPL (see here for instructions and download). then flash magldr.

and off you go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yep that's basically the problem. Nothing will install correctly without 2.08.HSPL so just chose that from the drop down menu and install. Then install MAGLDR using the RomUpdateUtility and voila it'll work. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Merlingo11:
Thanks for the quick reply. I thought that that might be the problem, but I saw a post saying that SPL-3.03 works OK. My bad.

So, now I've downloaded DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113.DAF.rar, and extracted the files. When right click on the ROMUpdateutility.exe to run it as "Administrator" . . . it doesn't open.

Am I missing something basic?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrT69:
Give your machine shut down, not just a reboot, power it on again and try it again. The ROM tool should work without ADMIN permissons.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Merlingo11:
It was that simple. Good to go. Vielen Dank!
[G1 General] cmacia06:
I am working on a G1 and i'm not able to figure out what's wrong. I did a hard reset and I even removed root and flashed the original software. I have already replaced the digitizer. What i can see is that the flex wire connecting to the board and and the LCD is damaged but I'm not sure if that would cause it not to work. Before I buy the flex wire and waste more money, is there anything else that could cause the screen to not respond to touch?
[G1 General] jianC:
What do you mean by damaged? Is the flex ripped? If it is, the only way to fix it is to replace the flex ribbon.
[G1 General] cmacia06:
Its folded.
[G1 General] tzagi:
1.the flex cables can be bad without any physical damage.

2. in some cases, the board itself can loose the touch function (not related to the screen or the ribbon)

the only true way of diagnostic is by process of elimination.

If you have enough spare parts, figuring it out is quick and easy. (and if you dont, good luck)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nchall:
Does anyone know if one of these exists? Specifically, I am looking for a build/kernel that will allow me to control music either through headset buttons (via PowerAmp) or when the screen is off through the side volume buttons. All I need to replace my iPod!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
Dunno, but that functionality is so good it ought to be in stock Android. My OptT is still stock and that's what I miss the most on my old CM-powered G1.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nchall:
you should flash mik_os CM7 build for Optimus T. I have it on mine and it allows you to do this and works well. Still a few kinks they are working out, but nothing terrible.
[HD7 General] omaropa:
Move on, adapt to changes. I think Microsoft did a good thing starting from scratch. I mean.. if there was no Windows Phone 7 you would have either moved to Android, iOS, Blackberry or Symbian(Which is as good as dead by now). Then you would have had to start all over again with everything unless you wanted to use an archaic phone with an even more archaic OS.
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
As a good rule of thumb, it's always beneficial to do some research on what you are purchasing before you go ahead with the purchase.

As you have found out, Windows Mobile 6.5 is nothing like or even related to Windows Phone 7 (aside from the similarities in the name). Applications from Windows Mobile are not compatible with Windows Phone, and the same is true the other way around.

If you like Windows Mobile 6.5, you should stick with it. You'll be safe in knowing you will always have the latest version of Windows Mobile and won't ever have to upgrade your software again.

If you switch to Windows Phone 7, you switch to a brand new (version 1.0) platform. Kinda like switching from a PC to a Mac. So you'll be buying and building new apps for your new platform and will have to find ways to work with the new platform. You'll find that both Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Phone 7 have their positives and negatives, and you just need to figure out what works best for you and stick with it.
[HD7 General] AmgAdly:
You remember moving from 3.11 -> Win 95, Win 98 -> XP, and XP -> Vista... Win CE -> WM5

Now it is WM6.5 -> WP7...

Microsoft always do the same...

Don't you remember some good staff you had on your Win98 that you miss now?

I am an Engineer, I was used to use multiple engineering softwares that creat special file formats. Also some general softwares like GPS Tracking software, Graphic Calculators, and more...

Now Microsoft dicovered that it is out of the competition due to Android OS, and Iphone. So instead of holding its previous clients who where Using there PPC for real business applications and paying lots on cash for doing this, Microsoft decides to go with the easy trend. Some funny games, some animation, BUT WHERE IS THE CORE?

Now Windows Phone 7 looks to me like any simbian device with "MS office" (thanks god, they did not throw it away)

Where is the origen of "Windows =(multi-tasking)"?

does anyone believe that a windows os doesn't have multi-tasking? doesn't have file explorer?

sooo weired ...

I was a fan of Microsoft I always say those competitors are far away from what a PPC was made for...

Now I am shocked, even Microsoft is taking the easy way...
