[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
On my t-mobile G2, I have tried ginger villian, virtuous, sense ginger and CM7RC2. Not sure why I came back to CM7 but if was fun playing with all of them, and I made backups of all if I get the urge to play around.

Next on my list is a larger sdcard, so I can have more backups and ROMs
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junxracr:
I just got a G2 and was wondering if anyone could recommend a rom. I don't know how to root it or flash a rom or get into recovery on this phone any help would be appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
Most everyone will tell you to try each ROM, which is what I have done. As far as rooting, read the wiki and use the rage/gfree (that is what I used). Also buy the rom manager and make backups. Also copy the backups off (once in a while) to another machine. This way if you hose up your sdcard (which I have done), you can get your backups back.

Good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junxracr:
I'll try these and try to get it rooted thx.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeeperOfThePizza:
Last night i was in the bathroom, and accidently dropped it in the sink, It wasnt submurged under water or anything, it had a light splash of water near the charger port, the sticker under the battery is slightly pink. The phone works fine. No problems. however when i plug it into my computer, i cant turn on usb storage, but it will charge, also I tried winamp yesterday and it synced my phone and copied all music to the phone.. What should I do? I could swap the phone out but the problem is it's rooted, and if they find water damage they said theyd charge me 200 bucks. What should I do? Could i call HTC? :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
If you don't have insurance then theres nothing you can do except get another phone.

For future reference if you ever drop your phone into any kind of water....immediately take the battery out...leave the phone apart (back case, battery, phone) and then stick them all into a big bowl of uncooked rice and let them sit in there for a couple of days.

The rice will absorb the moisture and usually your phone will still work okay.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeeperOfThePizza:
I did leave it in rice for a about 6 hours, i noticed the battery seems to have a water damage sticker on the bottom of the battery and it didnt even hit that. the water damage seems to be minimal
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeeperOfThePizza:
I do have insurance just not the 5.99 bundle protection, I have the premium.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
Well if you can live with your phone the way it is then just do that. If not then pay the deductible and get yourself a new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeeperOfThePizza:
I may consider just keeping it, I mean i could just use dropbox to sync. Maybe it will come back to life.

EDIT: WOW. my usb is connected!! wow. dude. wow. sounds like a troll post but it's working again. this is insane. i just blew in it with canned air and it started to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baphometa:
You probably blew some water droplets off of where they were shorting a circut perhaps dried it id still be careful
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
... deng that sucks bro...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
I'd leave it in the rice with the battery out for as long as possible. It may take a few days for the water to dry out.

I went swimming with my phone once, for a good 5 minutes before I realized what happened. There was a nasty buzzing noise (I though it was an insect).

I dropped it in rice, stuck some packets of dessicant in it (the packets they put in shoe boxes and electronics) and it functioned for a month. It then died completely and I had to toss it. This was the Nokia 5300 from back in the day.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmybg:
Ok guys, first i want to apologize for asking, but i still am a newbie and have absolutely no skills in AOS development. All i do is follow guides.

After a lot of reading in your forum, i finally had enough courage to root my phone, flash a kernel and a custom ROM.

Well everything went well, i flashed webstar1's Ultibread v1.4 ROM, and my phone started flying, it was awzum :)

But it seems it has corrupt graphix (at startup, in some games some times etc etc)

So i wanted to switch to another ROM, BUT when i enter CWM recovery (vol up+home+power) its gfx are effin messed up! After a lotta guessing i finally found *reboot system now* so i got out of recovery, but damn it... how do i change my ROM, wipe data and such when i cant see what im pressiing in recovery?!?!

So here is my Question: how do i fix CWM recovery?

Things i've tried:

multiple reboots

ROM manager

reboot into recovery from Ultibread v1.4's power menu.

Oh and, i can enter download mode with no probs. So if there is a way i could wipe out everything and go back to Froyo, to start over, it would be best.

Thank you all for your caring and attention in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well if you cant make sense of recovery, try flashing a rom thru odin, maybe go back to stock and start again,

All stock firmwares can be found at www.samfirmware.com or on the first page of general on this forum. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmybg:
Ok so, how do u flash a stock firmware... same way as kernels? And what is the pit file for?

Oh and... how do i say "thanks"? ;p

Edit: i saw the thanks button once i logged in
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
similar to flashing a kernel only with more files... there should be a instruction guide where you downloaded your ROM from... its pretty simple PROVIDING YOU READ PROPERLY,,

and finally PIT file is incase you have had a lagfix or something activated to change from ext 2 / 3 / 4 back to stock RFS.. you should only use pit if you have a 3 file firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmybg:
Ok so i when ive first entered CWM recovery after installing Ultibread (yeah it wasnt bugged for a while) there were lagfix options

Does that mean i have to install a pit file?

Edit: so this is what it shows me when i dial *#1234#

PDA: I9000XWJV1

PHONE: I9000XXJVE

CSC: I9000XXJV1

So is that the 3 files u are talking about?

Edit2: Ok i flashed a stock 2.3.2 firmware, so its all good all. Except it has Froyo interface LULZ.

I do plan on getting Darky's ROM, since its the commercial choice as i see, what would you advice me, azzledazzle?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I do plan on getting Darky's ROM, since its the commercial choice

Its not commercial at all neither is it the best its just one guys constantly changing rom .Its the choice of newbies for some unfathomable reason .

Go to the developers section and read up on the different roms .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
It all depends what you want.. your best option would be to go to www.romkitchen.org there you can build your own rom to your own likings, its very good and is always upto date with the latests version of ROMs,

just choose your rom, cook it up, and flash it thru CWM.. if u have any troubles PM me
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Llywelyn:
Hello everybody,

I'm facing a huge problem with my Address Book: every people that is registered inside is getting multiplied up to eight or nine times after a while...

I used to make a Vcard save that I restored every time I flashed a ROM but even deleting it from the SD card the people are still getting multiplied...

When restoring it restores fine, but after exiting the Address Book it has already started to multiply and it doesn't ends...

I've had this problem on many ROMs, like Yoshi or COS-DS (that is the one I use atm).

Thanks for your help !

[Nook Color General] rgreenpc:
I rooted my wife's NC with autonooter 3.

She currently is using the stock launcher and hates it.

She wants me to replace it, but I worry that she will lose the in-store features if I do.

Can anyone confirm that you can shortcut the shop icon into Zeam and not lose in-store?
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
You'll lose in-store features regardless of which launcher your'e using. Some folks say in-store works for them and for others, it doesn't. Hit or miss, in my opinion.
[Nook Color General] rgreenpc:
I still have in-store on my wife's nook.

Tested it yesterday and posted to the appropriate thread.

It would appear to be related to something else. As I took a new OOTB Nook, insured it was at 1.1 and then applied autonooter 3.0

Other than that she has only installed a few games.

Haha, you should be asking why he doesn't give proper thanks to me. I wrote this, and he copied it. Before I wrote it, it was spread out over a bunch of posts. I don't really care either way. I didn't invent the phone, the programs, or the procedure. I'm just glad the info is out there.

I've installed all of the proper drivers but my phone is not showing up in device manager. i have a rooted V on sublimewulf's stock rom.

my cpu is running 64bit win7. after a little research i believe the sprint prl will help me quite a bit in my hometown.

is there anything thing i can do to set com for my phone?

UPDATE found my phone its not using the lg drivers, its using adb sooner driver but i cant figure out how to get it ti show in ports tab
[Optimus V Android Development] freddysam:
Uninstall the other drivers and install the correct ones.
[Optimus V Android Development] overthinkingme:
Does anyone know how to fix the "Failed..phone does not answer" response I get from CDMA when I try to read the spc using the lg method?

This is something I'd really like to try.

Thank you for taking the time to write the guide!
[Optimus V Android Development] freddysam:
Which version of CDMA Workshop are you using? It works fine using the demo linked above. You may want to also try reinstalling the drivers. After you click connect, does pressing the read button next to it return an error?
[Optimus V Android Development] danwil77:
Yeah, i must be missing something here, I installed what should be the right drivers I'd thought but when I plug the phone in there's nothing in device manager under ports... There's an "ADB Interface" now with "Android Sooner Single ADB" under it. There's a Google mass Storage USB Device under Disk Drives, and a new USB Mass storage device under Universal Serial Bus...

So what am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks for any help!
[Optimus V Android Development] Kate6:
Same issue here. If I install the phone's USB drivers from the LG website (http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/LG-VM670.jsp, under "Resources" tab) I get an "ADB Interface" section in the device manager with "Android Sooner Single ADB" under it, exactly as the previous poster described.

If I uninstall those and install the drivers linked to in the OP, I then get told that no driver was found for my device when I plug in my phone. It should be noted that the page linked to by the original poster identifies the drivers there as being for the LG-LS670, which would be the Optimus S... The Sprint version of the phone. The Optimus V is technically the LG-VM670. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Optimus_One#LG_Optimus_S_-_LS670_-_Sprint).

Could this be why my system is refusing to use those drivers?

Are those of you who've connected to your Optimus V with the drivers linked to in the OP all running hacked ROMs?
[Optimus V Android Development] freddysam:
I uploaded the drivers myself and fixed the link in the original post. Uninstall and delete (using device manager) the "Android Sooner Single ADB" driver and try unplugging and reinserting the USB cable.. If the device shows up as unrecognized, Right click on it in the device manager window> Update Driver Software> Browse my Computer> Let me pick from a list> All> (wait for the list to be populated)> LG Electronics> LGE Android Platform USB Serial.
[Optimus V Android Development] overthinkingme:
CDMA 2.7, I am going to try the demo and see if that helps.

Read also returns the same error. It connects fine though.

EDIT:

Figured it out!

Don't connect to the modem port.

I should have read the directions more slowly. :D
[Optimus V Android Development] Kate6:
Okay... I've uninstalled any LG drivers I previously had installed, installed the drivers you uploaded.

Turned on USB Debugging on my phone and plugged it in. Device Manager shows this:

I right click, "Update Driver Software" => "Browse my computer for driver software" => "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"... This brings me here:

Unchecking "Show compatible hardware" gives me a lot more options, including a couple of references to the "HTC Dream" (which I believe is another name for the T-Mobile G1, the first widely available Android phone)... But nothing about USB Serial.

The only thing I have showing up under ports is a "Printer Port (LPT1)." What am I doing wrong? Any clue?
[Optimus V Android Development] danwil77:
Same exact results here as above, can't get the USB Serial drivers to show up anywhere after uninstalling and installing the new drivers that were uploaded...

I've tried it on Windows 7 Home 32bit and also Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with the same results (of course i'd already tried the install with the other drivers on both machines... Should I dig out an XP machine to try this on?

Has anyone with an un-rooted Optimus V gotten this to work?

I hope after all this trouble (assuming i get it to work) it actually does help with all the 3g data outages like i've been promised :)
[Optimus V Android Development] freddysam:
You didn't uninstall the Android Sooner Single ADB Interface Driver. Right click on it and select Uninstall. When it asks you to confirm, check the box to delete the drivers. Then follow the directions I posted to manually add the correct driver.
[Optimus V Android Development] Takenover83:
Hmmmm, really? OK... Yes, it was spread out (in one thread, not multiple). But you gave no mention where you obtained the info from. But thanks for cleaning it up, cause it did help a few people get going.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kate6:
God, I hate Windows. There's no Mac-native or Linux-native programs that can do this, are there?

At this point there was nothing to right click on, which I assume means that when I uninstalled the drivers through the "Uninstall Programs" control panel it left some files behind that were mucking up the process. So I went ahead and reinstalled the driver's from LG's, website, reconnected my phone to get the "Sooner Single" to show up, then right clicked on it, chose uninstall and make sure Delete was selected.

Then I went in the Uninstall control panel to make sure everything was deleted. Then I deleted anything that looked like it was owned by LG under C:\Program Files, C:\ProgramData and C:\Windows\System32\Drivers.

Then I installed your drivers, as linked in the first post and plugged my phone back in. And it showed back up as the "Sooner Single" interface, but had a "Device Cannot Start" error on it... Which I'm guessing means that driver was actually in your package. Right clicked, uninstall, make sure I check Delete... Unplug and replug my phone back in. This time I get an "Android USB Device" that the system was unable to find a driver for.

So I followed your directions.... Update Driver, Search my computer, etc. There appears to be both an "LG Electronics, Inc" entry and an "LG Electronics Inc" (without the comma) entry. One of them has two Serial Port drivers, and two NMEA GPS Port drivers, the other has three of each. I've at this point tried all five of the Serial Port drivers.

The ones from the group of three (I can't remember if that's the one with the comma or without) required me to reboot my computer when I installed them and then, after the reboot, had a "Device cannot start" on them. The other two managed to start, but when I hit the "Connect" button in the CDMA Workshop it says "Failed to open COMx"... I tried switching around between COM1, COM3, COM5 (making sure to always have the same port selected in both the device manager and the CDMA Workshop)... I tried messing with the baud rate setting, again matching them in both locations.

No go.

I'm doing all of this on two machines, btw... An installation of Windows 7 64 bit running under Parallels Desktop on my Mac, and an install of Windows 7 32 bit running on a friend's computer with no virtualization. Getting identical results on both. Well, I did discover that my friend's computer freezes up mid-POST if my phone is plugged into its USB port while it's rebooting, which was just a little bit of extra frustration to deal with.

Any more hints?

I'd really like to get this working... I've had data outages of several hours almost every day for 2-3 weeks now, usually during prime time usage hours (i.e. around noon, and around 4pm to 7-8pm.) Would love anything that would make the stop or even lessen it.
[Optimus V Android Development] freddysam:
Wow Kate, ok. Install one of the drivers that is labeled "LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port", I don't think it matters which one. Then make sure no other com ports conflict with the com port you choose. To make sure, restart your computer after changing the port and verify it didn't change. You obviously have debugging enabled on your phone, otherwise the driver wouldn't even appear....Hmmm. I agree that windows makes all of this so much harder than it has to be. The problem with the drivers is a perfect example of how something so simple requires a full days worth of trial and error to fix.

Actually, the only part I got from your thread was the procedure to use the Demo version of CDMA workshop to get the MSL code. The rest a pieced together from XDA posts and forums:

I also didn't use pirated software to get the VM PRL. When you read from the phone using QPST, even though it gives an error, it does download the phone's PRL. You can then save that to a QCN file with the rest of the phone settings. You can then extract the PRL using QPST's Roaming List editor. You should know that the pirated copy of CDMA workshop that is floating around online has been flagged as containing a virus multiple times.

Again, you copied and pasted my entire post and gave no reference to me. I did not complain because this isn't anything besides a walk through.

I'm going to be posting a new PRL soon just for VM users that has all of the roaming features of 60676 removed and adds in the difference from 61007. Feel free to post it in your thread too.

if you flashed a 2.2 ROM via RSD Lite, you cant get back to 2.1

go into the RecoveryMode volumedown+power and do a fullwipe (data+cache).

Restart. if that didn't work, than flash another 2.2 ROM with RSD Lite, which must be no older than that one, which you flashed first.

if no, than you'll get back to 2.1, when you go into the bootloader-mode with volumeup+power and flash via RSD Lite a 2.1 ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537 )
