That's the easy way to turn off the phone.
[Droid Incredible General] LSUstang05:
Hey, I'm new to the site and relatively new to Android. I had a Nexus One for a while, got rid of it due to not having a decent way to sync music to the phone and got an i*hone. Had that for about a year and just got rid of it since I was tired of living in the walled garden and got an HTC Incredible.

Also, my phone just froze up on me and I used this trick to shut it down and then restart it. Way easier than having to pull the battery and then restart. Thanks for the tip!!
[Droid Incredible General] pianoplayer:
Welcome to the site! I'm sure that you'll love the Incredible much more than the iPhony :p

I didn't know that it worked during a freeze also. I guess I'll do that instead of a battery pull the next time I press the "freeze for 5 minutes" button in Dev Tools on accident.
[Droid Incredible General] superchilpil:
Keep on holding it to boot into debugging mode
[Droid Incredible General] pianoplayer:
What's that?
[Droid Incredible General] superchilpil:
I've only done it a few times

It boots the phone into a mode where no apps besides system apps boot up, so u vs unistall any apps that prevent the phone from booting like set CPU if you overclock to high
[Droid Incredible General] JWorth:
thats crazy! thanks lol
[Droid Incredible General] linuxmotion:
Wow crap. Nice find.
[Droid Incredible General] KrisPeezy:
cool tip, wish i knew this before i had to do my first battery pull...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
Calkulin made this flashable update to clear data/cache/dalvick all in one step. Just by simply flashing this update, then your rom of choice. Big thanks to Calkulin for making it easy on everyone.

NilsP made it work with CWM3.0.0.7 and up. Big thanks to NilsP

So, try these scripts and see if this doesnt make wiping easier. It wouldnt hurt to install the update a few times. Install like any other update.

There have been alot of people complaining of clockworkmod3 not wiping correctly or clearing data. Expecially 3.0.0.5

Everyone needs to make sure if your using CWM3, it needs to be at least 3.0.0.7 and up.

3.0.0.7 seems to be most stable.

I've even had problems with 3.0.0.8 not wiping everthing sometimes. This may cause unwanted issues with roms. So even installing the update may not work the first time. Install a few times to be sure

Until we get a new recovery that actually does what is supposed to, we will have to be sure that everything is wiping correctly.

No dissrespect to anyone that has had a hand in making our recoveries. I just want to make sure everyone is starting with a fresh rom.

Remember, cwm2 updates are not compatible with cwm3

Remember, cwm3 updates are not very compatible with cwm2. Even though it doesnt error out.

Remember, cwm3 is a nessasary change that will eventually be our only option.

Calkulin's FORMAT ALL CWM2

Calkulin's FORMAT ALL CWM3

Thanks bro.

BTW, I think it's calkulin, not calculin.

woops, thanks :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am thinking of putting something like this at the top of my ROM scripts going forward. Other ROM builders may want to do something similar

ui_print("This install script is designed to run on");
ui_print("ClockWorkMod Version 3.0.0.7 or higher");
ui_print(".");
ui_print("If you experience any problems with the");
ui_print("installation or the ROM is acting funny verify");
ui_print("which version of CWM you have installed");
ui_print("---------------------------------------");
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
yeah, i was thinking of making my roms wipe eerything during insatall but figured there would be tons of backlash.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stoney 666:
Hey, if they want a proper install with minimal bugs, its a price to pay for a good Rom. I say do it....

Yup.... The ones yoe momma told ya about.... Bad Seed Customs!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpradley:
I have CWM 3.0.0.8 on my Incredible.

I was running MIUI 1.3.5.

I flashed Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL-CWM3.zip.

I flashed Nils' Business Sense - Desire-Z Based V5.0.

It didn't boot properly: kept cyiling between Droid, the SkyScraper, the blue "eye", the red "eye", so I have to wonder if a proper wipe was done.

(A couple of days ago, I made the same transition from MIUI to Nils' ROM, doing the usual manual wipes, and had no problem thereafter.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I just did a bunch of testing and the CWM that appears to be most consistent with wiping data is 3.0.0.7

3.0.0.5 = Never completely wipes data

3.0.0.8 = Wiped data once in awhile

3.0.0.7 = Wiped data every time

Test process:

Added an app to /data/app/ that was not in my ROM /data/app/ folder and entered other than default settings in apps. When it was not there after a data wipe I call it success and if it was still there I called it failed.

Also when a full wipe did not force the fresh install setup to run since it did not reset the first run bit it was a fail.

The fact that data is not being wiped is what causes most problems for people trying to do a fresh install and either seeing stuff there that should not be there or more likely getting lots of FC's and other erratic behavior. In severe cases won't boot the new ROM.

It never failed to boot but most likely because I was booting my ROM over my ROM.

SIDE NOTE: If you try to install a ROM that is set up to run on CWM v3 and try to install on CWM v2 it will look like it ran and installed but don't expect good results with the new ROM since it more than likely did not run everything in the script.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
Thanks for the research NIls, I will add this info to the first post
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ProTekk:
I love you for this! <333333
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
nils, i just tested the cwm3 version with 3.0.0.7 and flashed it and then my rom and it gave a bunch of force closes and didnt appear to wipe properly. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pjrudd:
Force Closes

I had the same issues as Incubus. Had to wipe the old way.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It appears that wiping data via the script is not consistent. Not sure why since wiping data via RM or directly in recovery works well on 3.0.0.7.

It does appear to do system fine but not cache or data for some reason

I will experiment with a couple of alternatives and see what I can come up with.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ProTekk:
How about Dalvik? Just trying to get Dalvik and cache to wipe before installing my builds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Deleted member 2776902:
Hmm, seemed to work for me. Using 3.0.0.8. I was on CM7, ran the script, then flashed Incredibly Re-Engineered Z right after. Haven't gotten any FC's yet...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
This is what I use in my script which works to clear everything but data before installing.

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock3", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/cache");
ui_print("Removing Old System...");
delete_recursive("/system");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache/");

It seems to be hit and miss which is what we are trying to sort out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ProTekk:
Thanks for this ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Just my experience that you probably should wipe your recovery nothing installs well over 3.0.0.5 I'm not using your script but I haven't had any problems since using 3.0.08
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
I just go directly into recovery, and manually wipe before installing a ROM. I have had the most sucess with doing it that way.

You can also use something like http://www.dyndns.com/ to associate your home IP with something like myawesomecomp.dyndns.org

It's handy for VNC, and other things as well, and can update when your IP changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
Ah thank you that seems like a very considerable option especially since it helps with your Private IP changing which can be a bit of a hassle at times lol.

Thanks I love to hear from others and help with giving the users more options in this particular video streaming solution.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I use the CIFS module posted on here by someone along with CIFSManager to just mount windows shares on my phone when I am at home, and I can stream 720p mkv files flawlessly using the stock media player or any media player I want. Works with any video or audio or anything else you want to mess around with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
Is the CIFS module accessible from a network away from home such as your 3g/4g network?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schnowdapowda:

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
Thank you :-)

Well for cds or tapes tversity allows you to access whatever folders you set in your directoy in the program.

For audio though I highly reccomend audiogalaxy, its easy to set up and I have access to all 50gb of my music at all times.

Let's put our data plans to the maximum use right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ggoldfingerd:
Thanks for the post. I hope transcoding is supported at some point by one of the players so I can stream mkv files to devices that don't support it like my Xoom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Hmmmm! Nice....
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
Yeah unfortunately tversity does not support transcoding .mkv files yet, I would also like this feature as a lot of anime I have is in this format.

I do however know of a lot of users who use "GOTsent" to convert to mp4 format, I use other software though however and its not as timely as it would seem.

A good solution until such transcoding is supported.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
With tversity you can go into settings to allow access from internet not just the lan. Which I don't think requires the need to find ip address and enter it into the browser. You set up a password and or the devices mac address. I have used tversity for years it is high quality and very easy to use.

[G2 and Desire Z General] nakeman:
by which method you rooted your G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rezki:
i rooted my phone with VISIONary method..

is there any relation with my problem?
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
Yes, definitely related. Visionary is DANGEROUS -- it very often causes the system partition to become corrupted.

After you ran visionary, what did you do next? Did you run gfree? Did you install the engineering SPL?

If you ran gfree, you're going to have to reset the system by loading the PC10-something-zip/nbh/whatever file -- put it on the sdcard, boot into bootloader, it'll do its thing, then you should be OK with a stock system (no root), but unlocked radio. Reroot using PROPER method (***rage***, not visionarydeath), install superuser.apk and su file in proper location, flash CWM recovery, and be happy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
Everything about this is correct except that you should use gfree instead of rage for proper s-off.

Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rezki:
:'(

i don't run gfree and don't install engineering SPL either..

what should i do next?

can you upload PC10 file?

or where i can find that file?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rezki:
for more detail what i've done to my phone are:

1.root using VISIONary, i got superuser..

2.S-OFF my phone using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965

then i got my problem..

:'( poor me..

please help me..i just bought this phone 3 week ago..

what sould i do??
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rezki:
ow..i know what i miss on S-Off

i don't command # sync on the terminal..

what should i do?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
IMO, this is a better guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855764

You do need PermaRoot via VISIONary first, so if you have that, then you can jump right into this. In your case, since you only need S-OFF you can probably use the flag "-s" instead of "-f" which is for all.

gfree usage:
gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
-h | -? | --help: display this message
-v | --version: display program version
[b]-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off[/b]
-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID
-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK

-f | --free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111

Good luck!

Model number GT-I9000

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband version I9000XXJM2

Kernel version 2.6.29

Running latest version of Samsung KIES on Windows 7. Trying to upgrade to OS to Froyo

When I connect my phone via usb I get notification

Installing device drivers

then

device driver software not successfully installed

MTP usb device Failed.

It seems Windows 7 is not recognising Android driver(s) on my phone. Is this a known/new issue? I connected my phone to a Windows XP machine and it recognised the phone straight away and was visible in KIES. Is there a setting in Windows 7 that needs to be adjusted perhaps? Can anyone offer a suggestion as to how to recify this problem?

I had an older version of KIES, did a search for Galaxy S updates, one of which was an updated version of KIES, now installed. I put the phone in mass storage mode, connected, then it told me to exit mass storage mode, had to disconnect in order to do so. Have searched MTP usb device on this site, read the archived entries and varied solutions, none of which work. Fairly sure its a Windows problem, because as I eluded to previously, it connects to Windows XP no problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
There is a lot of thread about it, but well...

Start fresh:

- Uninstall Kies (phone not connected)

- Clean your registry with ccleaner (google it)

- restart your PC

- Dowload the last 2.x Kies realeased from samsung website

- Install Kies as administrator

- Go in your SGS setting device -> Application -> devlopment -> Uncheck USB debugging

- Restart your phone (even if not needed, do it)

- When the phone is up, plug the USB cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpjd:
No luck with that either!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
It should work no matter what:

Your windows 7 system have a problem somewhere (Drivers outdated?, antivirus?, firewall?, service not properly started? etc.. can be a lot of external things)

If you checked all that, it could be an hardware issue (i doubt that)

Are you using the stock USB cable right?

Anyway triple check everything, update, restart. It must work or you have or you are a very very very special case (i doubt that too).

I've been saying those other phones dont come close for a while. The Captivate is garbage with it's broken GPS and laggy file sytem and Samsungs poor support. I returned mine after 2 weeks. The Inspire is nice but it's an old design with god awfull battery life. The Atrix is the best phone you can buy right now.
[Atrix 4G General] ekerbuddyeker:
Oh dont get me started about the last 6 months. Add in the Aria, iphone 4, HD2 modified to run anything, blackberrys and a host of others.

im stil wandering around with all 3 devices in my bag. Inspire has Sense which is the best email and contacts software. Captivate.. I love the screen and the camera and video and audio apps are fantastic. Atrix becuase its a generation ahead of those 2 devices and has the best battery life. Im going crazy from it. Dont get me started on what I am going to do when that 4.5 inch screen Samsung hits.

I came to the Atrix from a rooted, modded, changed, altered Nexus One :D No regrets here. Honestly, I flashed a lot of ROMs with my N1 and if I never get to flash a full, true ROM with this phone, I don't care. I like it so much more than my Nexus. The screen (I can see the Atrix in the sunlight!), the size of the screen, the speed, touch sensitivity, etc. Plus I live in a strong AT&T area and do not have problems like some do.

I would like HSUPA enabled, but from what is floating around here, AT&T is supposed to be "turning on" HSUPA at some point.
