Another try:

While i was running the original RUU i copied the file rom.zip from a subfolder in c:\windows\temp. Then, i replaced recovery.img with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and renamed in CLICIMG.zip.

When i reboot Hboot load it but after checking do nothing!

Can i avoid Hboot checking?

It's correct?

Tried also to generate a goldcard...but while flashing recovery...mtd: erase failure at 0x00260000 (Input/output error) comes AGAIN!!!

It gives me so much pain :mad:

Now, my question is...Only my tattoo is so....
[Click Android Development] davinem:
No one can help me???
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
Are you sure that your device is rooted?
[Click Android Development] sunitknandi:
First root your device using the one-click root method that is there in this forum. Then open adb. Type 'adb shell' to get a shell. Then type 'su'. If you get #, you are successfully rooted. Then type 'lsmod', if you see tattoo_hack in the next line, all is well. Then just download Rom Manager and flash recovery. :) And enter all the commands without the quotes.
[Click Android Development] sunitknandi:
His device is rooted. He didnt insert tattoo-hack.ko. If his device wasnt rooted, then would not have been able to run flash_image. It would give permission problems.
[Click Android Development] davinem:
Hi and thank you for your support...

Yes, i rooted my tattoo. I've done it both with 1click root method, manual method universal nandroot, etc...

If i use 1 click method with all the known recovery it gives me the same error, but if i place the original recovery, it flashes successfully.

I re-installed also the original RUU to have a clean system and then repeated 1click method...but the result is the same.

This is the output for lsmod:

# lsmod

lsmod

tattoo_hack 1480 0 - Live 0xbf000000

Can i execute any adb commands to help you about my tattoo???

P.S. I've just tried with RomManager and it gives me a successful message installing Clockworkmod 3.0.0.6 recovery. but if i reboot in recovery mode my tattoo is stopped on Tattoo logo...
[Click Android Development] davinem:
I've inserted the tattoo-hack.ko, so if i repeat the 1 click procedure when i try to insert tattoo-hack.ko it gives me file already exists.

But, how can i test the full functionality of this module?maybe, it doesn't work correctly...

thank you!

Any good non Sense roms that have it working? I'm using cm7, I know it can't be an easy task to get it working, but I can't wait to record in 720p!

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
I Wish 720 was actually decent on our evos. i think kernels make the big difference. i love kernel #17. wish i could use it with 3.70
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoza:
Yea for sure man. I'm bummed about it. Just gunna go to a rom I don't care for, so I can use it I guess...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
i used one of the hd/z roms a while back and remembered that the video recording quality aswell as the audio was way better. i think its def. software and kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] Osama Shah:
Hey,

I'm using Sergio's CoreDroid 1.5 on my HD2 and I've had this problem in all of the previous Android ROMs that I have used, but there are a good number of ppl who have had no problem with the same builds. Searching Google also does not turn up any suitable answer.

All the contacts in my phone are saved under Google, so whenever I make any updates to my Google Contacts on the web it is sync'd fine to my Phone. On the other hand if I edit any of my contacts on the phone (like adding an extra number or email address or change the name) they are never Sync'd back to Google Contacts on the web... instead it ends up deleting the new info from my phone when it syncs from the web!! Same is the case if I change the primary number for a contact (in case the person has two numbers in his contact) it reverts back to the original choice!

Making new contacts has a mind of its own.. Mostly it does sync back the new contact info to Google contacts, but sometimes it does not.. and the new contact is deleted because no such info exists under Google Contacts. I don't have any proof but I think it only syncs info back to Google if I choose specific groups for the newly created contact.

I have checked every setting in my phone but did not find anything which shows that my phone does not have privileges to edit contacts on my phone and reflect changes back to the web. Neither is there any setting in my Google Contacts which does not let me edit changes to Contacts from my phone.

Does any one else have this problem? My problem does not lie in a bad flash or anything.. as I have already made a lot of fresh flashes but nothing seems to work!

UPDATE: I backed up all my contacts in Gmail to a csv file, and then deleted all the contacts. I then imported all the contacts back to my Gmail contacts. Up till now all the contacts that I edit remain that way, and also reflect the changes back to Gmail contacts. I guess it was a problem with Google or something, cuz when I made all my contact lists last year they were made on Gmail and after that none would update when I changed anything on my phone, as I have already pointed out. But now all work as they are supposed to. You can also backup contacts on your phone and delete from the phone but it is not recommended as the phone backup does not remember the group divisions. So your best bet is to use Gmail as it will preserve the groupings. Also after backing up remember to delete the contacts from Gmail and also from your phone and then import back into Gmail, otherwise it will make a mess of making double contacts. Do let me know if this worked for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Im trying to convince myself to get the Inspire and sell my atrix.

The last thing that is making me reluctant is the battery. I consitantly get between 30 and 40 hours between charges on my atrix with 3 to 4 hours of screen time. I know i wont get that with an Inspire, but im wondering what kind of stats people are seeing who are running custom ROMs. With my capitvate i saw a nearly DOUBLE battery life effect between stock and a custom rom. im hoping there are similar results on the inspire.

for those on custom roms, im looking to see how many hours you get between charges. ideally, how many hours between charges, with how many hours of screen time, wifi, blue tooth, etc. and im also interested in seeing the battery life of those who are OC/UV.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Someones gotta have info for me!
[HTC Inspire 4G] muthabusser:
Inspire battery usage....sucks!

If your main concern is BATTERY USAGE, then DO NOT get an Inspire.

No matter what ROM or other MODS made to an Ispire, it is accepted by all that have one, that the Inspire has very low battery uptime, especially when compared to other platforms.

Stay with your ATRIX for long battery usage and uptime. - Glenn
[HTC Inspire 4G] plmiller0905:
I just swapped my Atrix for the Inspire this past Sunday, and i can tell you first hand you're not gonna get the same battery results you did with the Atrix. Personally, I don't need to get 20-40 hours of battery life from a phone. Don't get me wrong, it is nice, but I don't need it. I just want to get at least 8 hours (while I'm at work) from a battery and I'm fine. However, I do have my charger with me just in case and i also have a car charger.

I rooted my Inspire Sunday night and flashed the stock rooted rom and couldn't be happier. I got about 13 hours out of the battery yesterday while I was at work and I used it under normal circumstances..calling, texts and lots of fb checking etc. Oh, and I didn't have any overclocking, underclocking, themes or nothing...just the rooted the stock rom.

The inspire is a lot more smooth also when compared to the Atrix. I was all for the Atrix last week. But after actually having the Inspire....its the Inspire FTW! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Its not my main concern. Just the Las thing I'm considering. A lot if other things about the inspire are appealing. Just looking for round about numbers.

Can I get 12 hours out of itwith 2 to 3 hours of screen time? That might be enough for me........If can get more than that, then I would def be sold.

Of course all this would be expected only when all aetttings on phone for Max bat life applied
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Speak for yourself. My Inspire lasts me the day with a ton of juice left over. I'm not a super heavy user, but I will have sometimes 60-70% battery life when I go to bed on light use days. On heavier use days I'm still at 30-40% when I go to bed. Unless you are watching youtube videos or something for hours on end, battery life is fine I think.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kem52:
To extend battery life I adjusted my screen brightness back to 30% with no auto adjust, seemed to help battery life quite a bit and did not make much difference in how the screen looked. Today I am trying auto brightness, but using power saver to switch to lower screen brightness when the battery hits 40%--I'm at 7 hours and the battery is still at 70%. Honestly, I don't think a person could even watch a movie on a flight, for example, the screen draw on the battery is that bad. If I keep the phone, I will have to get another battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BelacNongaw:
I get 22-24 hours with light average use, about 14 hours of moderate use. CM7, nothing special done or flashed.

[HTC Inspire 4G] muthabusser:
I was replying to the OP's original statment regarding his Atrix battery time in reference to the Insire's battery time:

OP said......The last thing that is making me reluctant is the battery. I consitantly get between 30 and 40 hours between charges on my atrix with 3 to 4 hours of screen time.

Even with your light usage, I am doubtful that you get anywhere close to the OP's "30 and 40 hours between charges on my atrix with 3 to 4 hours of screen time". - Glenn
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
well i guess i will just find out.

impulse buyer here. immediatly ran out and purchased an inspire after making this thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] muthabusser:
You're going to LOVE the inspire (even with the lower battery time). I have no doubt you will be throwing rocks at ATRIX users in no time!! - Glenn :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Lol ur right so far. Smooth, fast, solid. Just the smoothness and screen size is enough to win me over
[HTC Inspire 4G] anosis:
My results are based on percentage of time versus overall time, based on an average 8h work day.

Stock rom:

at the end of 8h I had an average of 55% left

Revolution HD 4 Beta 2:

at the end of 8h I had an average of 35% left

Stock rom rooted and bloat removed, HSPDA enabled:

only have one data point and it looks good so far. I had 75% left with the same average use as the other roms above. Why this one is so much better I don't know.

Also the stock rom came with the stock Radio 06.04.06_M but with the root downgrade and then custom rom to Rev HD4 B2 I had to upgrade the Radio to one that was suggested, which is 06.03.24_M2.

Also, one thing that I noted which was also seen on my Nexus One is that when I use the GPS my car charger is not able to keep up and I will loose battery % as I drive.

All in all I am very happy with this move from the Captivate. Many see it as a lateral move, but if you ever where in the need for the GPS this is definatey an upgrade since the GPS on the Inspire is spot on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
^^^^^^

thats the kind of info i was looking for. appreciate it.

my first run with the inspire resulted in 14 hours since last charge (down to 15%) with nearly 3 hours of screen on time.

granted i adjusted every possible thing to be less battery consuming, and one hour of that screen time was laying in bed in the dark with the screen on the lowest brightness setting.

i think i may be able to work with this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
yeah i am close to an impulse buy on the inspire too, just because its such a great price. even full price at 399 is insanely cheap when most phones are 550 full price.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
the battery does suck. but everything else on the phone is so great, that i still am happy i got it
[HTC Inspire 4G] baronmax:
I am a pretty hardcore user and I never have any issues with battery at all. I believe a lot of these battery issues that people have are due to flashing with a low battery, which causes the battery's "memory" to get messed up. If people flashed with a full battery, or did the battery reset procedure after flashing and charging, we would stop hearing about all the horrible battery issues. User error, not an issue with the phone. If it was a phone issue, I would absolutely be experiencing the problem as well.

There are also bigger, better, higher capacity batteries up to 3500 ma/h if you REALLY need more battery time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
alright so i had a lot of issues with getting great battery life out of the phone. i'm only writing this to help people that are having similar issues. obvious, relative to teh atrix (with a ridiculously larger battery), the life is NOT that great. BUT i've gotten 24+ hours on teh phone with certain tweaks.

first off, rooting is a pain in the ass, but a necessity for any power user. My HSUPA speeds are often higher then the HSDPA speeds...and I can tether too! Anyways most important part of tihs is underclocking. I have my screen set to underclock to 3xx Mhz with screen off. I can't even tell the difference between when it is underclocked or not. I don't OC since for whatever reason I don't see the option to and don't care to force it.

I also set my brightness to 20% or less when i'm indoors, which is usually where i am. I also turn off the radios when i'm not using them, or wifi when i'm in range (i think its better than hspa), and sometimes autosync too (there are widgets for this). i also disabled facebook live feed syncing and set it to update when i open the app, and to sync contacts and htc sync and other useless stuff to once a day.

if you want something to turn off your radios when your screen is off, check otu juice defender. if you want to track your battery over time, try juice plotter. with the way i ahve it setup now, if i leave the screen off for 10 minutes. the battery drops 1% or less PER HOUR. One night, it finished charging at midnight so i took it off, and didn't put it back on a charger 1 am the next night with 10-15% left.

anyways, i hope this helps at least some new inspire owners. good luck with rooting if you haven't yet, it took me 4 hours, but itw as COMPLETELY worth it :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] anosis:
Got another data point for the stock rom.

This time after the 8h my battery was at 55%, however I spend considerable time in a clean room were I have no signal at all. My other phones would usually drain much quicker in there and I believe it's because it's seeking a cell signal all the time.

So far I am very happy with the rooted stock rom, only wished it had some of the Gingerbread features.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
I have consistently gotten about 9 hours usage, with 1.5 - 2 hours screen time, and left work with 40 - 60% battery. I make no effort to reduce usage, as nothing even comes close to the screens usage, except I do leave off gps when not in use. This is a general average, and I have noticed little difference between stock and 2 different versions of Android revolution, with different flashed radios. (roms always flashed at full battery) and overclocked to 1.2 with ondemand set. Overall I can say this battery is not great, but the rest of the phone is well worth it. I had the atrix for 2 weeks, and although the atrix got better benchmark scores, it was way less smooth, and a lot of market apps don't work on it, like flashlights, live wallpapers that don't support the screen, etc.

I am very glad my atrix's touchscreen failed, because if it didn't, I probably would have never tried the inspire, and I am much happier with the inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pollux1151:
download "current widget" to monitor your battery drain.

if it is less than 10mA at non-operational condition, then your battery will last long hours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bongo_man:
Ok here is the deal. I have had my inspire for about 2 months and I couldn't be happier.

I work at a corporate level and I need my phone to constantly sync to MS exchange.

So I will give you a little break down in terms of battery life, usability and what I have done so far with this beast:

1) Rooted a week into getting the inspire.

2) went through about 7 custom roms to compare several different features.

3) Concluded that rooting and a custom rom is definitely going to give you more battery life.

4) I have wifi in the house so I rely heavily on the wifi (an obvious added load to battery drain). Hence I really 'play' with my phone quite a bit until about mid-night almost every day except when the wife gives me that look, at which point I have to let the inspire be on its own (however, every so often i let it install large files in the background e.g maps, roms, etc)

Verdict:

I will break this into 3 categories of users:

Light user:

- uses primarily as a phone

- little or no texting

- some browsing say 30 min - 1 hour

Battery time: at least 2 days for sure

Moderate user:

- browsing 2-4 hours (includes emails, fb, chatting etc)

- 6-10 phone calls (avg 10 minute talk time per call)

Battery time: 15-15 hours

Heavy user:

- several settings that constantly require syncs, updates

e.g my Touchdown app with MS Exchange constantly has notifications (emails, meetings, etc). During the day, I am definitely not using the phone for anything besides this (about 7-8 hours)

- Playing with several rom settings,

- youtube videos (about 1-2 hours).

- using my phone at a home theater remote (have xbmc and Gmote on it). About 30min-1hr.

Battery time: At least a good 10 hours for sure (depending on the rom and how you manage resources on the phone).

Conclusion:

Battery life is good on Inspire if you don't have a problem letting it charge at the end of the day before going to bed.

Hence, I really get confused hearing people complain about battery life when they have ample of time during which the phone could really get some juice.

Lastly, if you are really interested in my opinions about the 7-10 roms I have gone through, PM me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
The screen time and brightness is everything vs. battery life on this phone

I don't have it all recorded and tabulated, but my Elixer battery widget stats always have the screen 10x over any other app or condition, except heavy unplugged GPS usage when not getting good locks, and then it is just something <10x.
[HTC Inspire 4G] navymac62:
I use the Android revolution HD 5.1.9 and saw a very noticeable improvement. Please read the threads at this site to understand why. Comments?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
glad your happy with it. battery is nothing a spare charger for work + car charger wont fix. but the phone is pretty bad a**. part of the battery issues is just using the darn thing. catch a youtube vid or two at work when bored. games here and there. other phones do this stuff, but for some the inspire just feels like what the advertised the atrix to be (minus the add on keyboard/monitor of course.) after reading up on here im glad i didnt fall for the hype and get the atrix. add in a sense 3 rom, blingin!

anyways. i cannot say i have noticed much difference between roms.

OC/UV kernel. setcpu with a few profiles. screen off == 768max 90%; screen on <50% battery min - 1ghz 75%; screen on <100% 1ghz - 1.3ghz 60%

it gets me around from charger to charger just fine. and as you notice it drops from 100% to 50% pretty quick, but its so enjoyable along the way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noomrise:
Thats crazy I get 24-36 hours on my inspire running Inspired Saga (v1.1 I think), using setcpu to scale down the processor as the battery gets low and other tweaks, my battery kicks ass
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribestros:
You, my friend, are an absolute moron. The Inspire's battery is SIMPLY NOT BIG ENOUGH to provide more than 6-7 of screen on time. Even rooted. And there is NO big high capacity batteries for the Inspire/Desire HD.

Be nice to your fellow members my good man. Not all are fully knowledgable about batteries. Just take it easy big human.

Just noticed this little ditty regarding mobile hotspot: "Verizon said it will allow customers to use the mobile hot spot feature for free until May 15; afterwards, customers will need to pay an additional $20 per month (2GB data cap)."

Read more: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20043272-251.html#ixzz1GfzSBWRL

Will that affect our wireless tether? They are implementing a data cap? I'm confused. (what else is new)
[Thunderbolt General] Russ36363:
Sounds like they need some stress testers on the network. What better than the consumers...
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
What about wireless tether for root users? Wonder if that will be affected? I don't think I'm supposed to even have that on my Eris, but I do, but I also don't use it a ton either.

Hmmmm
[Thunderbolt General] Russ36363:
What's the difference between the two? I've always taken the two as the same, except that Mobile Hotspot is just the official, non-root version of the feature.

I'd be confused if it was anything else than 4G, but it seems like they want a lot of 4G usage to test stuff out. Or they'll probably not mention anything come May 15th and have thousands of users activate hotspot and get charged $20 for it.
[Thunderbolt General] Magicadder:
The 3g wireless hotspot app from big red has DHCP functionality with an infrastructure wireless signal... so kinda like a wireless router.... vs. Wireless tether for root, which is an ad-hoc client. This only allows one device to connect.... thy is unless they have changed the app since I last used it 4 months ago.

Plus... imo... the 3g hotspot app is a little more stable.

So the big question for the hotspot users is ... the rumored unlimited LTE. will it be capped?.. will we grandfather into it when big red switches to tiered data?
[Thunderbolt General] wes_s:
I bet we can enable free 3g mobile hotspot like on the incredible by editing settings in the dialers hidden menu (i cant remember what it was on the inc, hopefully it will be the same on the T-Bolt)
[Thunderbolt General] julesism:
no offence but well over 4 months ago I used Wireless Tether for Root Users on my N1 and my dInc and was able to connect more than one device. You may have tried an old/outdated version. I agree that it does have stability issues from time to time but I feel it is a much better app than the stock big red hotspot app.
[Thunderbolt General] Magicadder:
Good call... your right... I did not have all the info on the wifi tether app.

It seems to me that the hotspot app also has way more overhead than the wifi tether app which automatically makes the wifi tether app a better call.... thx for the corrections

Just goes to show, you can't be right all the time.... lol
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
I wonder how they will treat this change. Because including the feature then changing it to pay is a change of the contract terms that might let people out of contracts...

Either way a free tether solution should be possible.
