Assuming the phone is unbranded it'll work, or at least get the phone booting again. If it fails flashing the ROM for any reason then it's a branded phone and you'll need to speak to the seller to find out where it's from
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
but going into vol down and menu and then pressing recovery also enables the boot loop with htc white screen and vibrate on everyboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kluzik1:
I think that easier way not loosing the root would be flash once again recovery;) were you using clockwork recovery? Beside if the phone is branded you will need a goldcard :)

so i think you should instal adb http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

then you need to recovery image which you can find here http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...a-recovery-ra-desire-v2-0-1-27-11-2010-a.html

put recovery on c drive sdk folder and open cmd on your windows and put a command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
U can try to put ur phone on bootloader, then plug it to ur pc and run the RUU from windows..It should restore all, after that u can root it with unrevoked and do what u want..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
U cant flash the recovery on S-ON desire..maybe worth a try to run unrevoked again and see if its work, but i dont believe
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
i have written clearly that the phone is not going in recovery nor it is booting in to some sort of rom or recovery that i flash new recovery.but if you tell me or direct me to some tutotial to flash recovery in adb mode, may be i can unbrick my device. but c i cant boot into recovery. i can just boot into fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kluzik1:
you dont need recovery to flash recovery fastboot is the only thing you need ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
but how can i run unrevoked when i cant boot into rom, i can just boot in vol down plus power fast boot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
ya boot in fastboot, plug it to ur pc and run the ruu from windows.

if ur desire is S-ON there is NO way to flash a recovery...just unrevoked can flash the recovery if u are S-ON, but if ur phone doesn't boot, unrevoked will not work i think
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
and how am i supposed to flash recovery in fastboot........
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kluzik1:
It should work ;) at least try
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
friend, google it, if S-ON u canT flash a recovery with fastboot :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kluzik1:
Try unrevoked and post if there will be any problems ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kluzik1:
why you so nervous didn't know his phone is s-on relax a bit guy has a problem ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
i'm not nervous, but if u want help him, read his problem..he wrote he was s-on :)

better run the ruu, much safe..but if the phone its branded from the carrier it will not work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
right now downloading a ruu and then will ruu and will run it in windows after downloading... and will keep the desire on fastboot mode...

in the mean time. i m trying unrevoked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If you read my guide recovery isn't needed at all as the file is picked up in hboot - but if you know better then carry on
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
i will follow it...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
With ur guide he can run the ruu without stay connected to the pc..but he can flash it directly from the pc (if phone usb work), as is more easy (at least in my opinion)..the phone in fastboot mode is not a problem, as the ruu handle that case
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehalai:
your ruu link is dead
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
like EddyOS always say, try here on shipped rom

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cescof:
Hy i've a similar problem (thread above) and i've tried your guide.. so now i've official ruu again but when my desire starts it says safe mode....

Maybe problem is that my vol- menu and back button are down....

What's the prblem??? Definitely bricked ?? motherboard problem?? (before this step my desire was down and no boot at all) any other suggestion???

Kind regards

Last paragraph is the best:

"As to the utility of tablets in general, I found more and more uses for my iPad during the past year and have come to realize its value and versatility as a computing device. Having said that, it has only taken me two weeks to all but discarded it in favor of what I consider as the “Grown Up” new tablet for business: the Xoom."

http://blogs.forbes.com/marcwebertobias/2011/03/15/apple-addicts-aside-xoom-is-better-than-ipad/
[Xoom General] 1215kids:
Good find. I bet Steve Jobs would take issue with his conclusions.
[Xoom General] falconeight:
It was very well written, I myself still think honeycomb has a way to go.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Thread title is paraphrased...
[Xoom General] f1restarter:
If you read Anandtech's review of the Xoom you will notice that he chooses the Xoom over the iPad simply because it's much better at multi-tasking and feels that the Honeycomb OS is actually better than the iOS in most things. Having a faster GPU doesn't mean much if the OS feels outdated and lacking unless you're into tablet gaming.
[Xoom General] karnovaran:
IMO, Google has always come to market with a product that isn't finished but has loads of potential while Apple comes in with the finished product and very minor updates down the road. The Xoom/Honeycomb OS is no different than Google Search, Gmail, Maps, Android, etc - it's another platform that isn't complete at launch, but clearly capable of growing into the most versatile option on the market.

Tobias has it right here. It's just a matter of time before the market realizes what Google is offering.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
Apple doesn't always come to market with the so called finished product. Very simple examples of this are when the ipad launched it did not have multitasking. Copy and paste, folders for IOS.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
Stop hating on the iPad DAM. The Xoom IS not better and vice versa. They both are incredible devices and like windows /mac is all choice! iPad 2 with its specific refined OS can run better than an OS made for everytype of hardware. So, with that said you will ALWAYS see better specs from PC'S and such. But Apple user experience is amazing. Honeycomb is beautiful but will be mass produced and hard foe the average consumer to differentiate.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
Nobody in this thread is hating on the ipad.

Why don't you go and respond to your thread about returning and switching for video playback?

Or just keep trolling.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
x2. this article just makes him regret his decision to return it LOL.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Even though it was lacking some features, that doesn't mean that it wasn't finished. Apple regularly releases finished products that lack features for the reason of ease of use, etc.. There is a difference between unfinished and lacking features on purpose. Apple would rather release without features than tack them on without the individual features being implemented correctly.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
Lack of features for ease of use is rubbish.

The ipad was unfinished when it launched to me period. An essential part of it was missing. If I recall correctly the ipad was the last device to get updated to support multitasking.

I am not hating or even making a argument against apple. Just saying they should not be put up some pedestal.

When they released iOS 4 it basically rendered the 3g useless. On a joking note their phones still screw up time changes.

Anyways I really don't want to talk about apple. Or participate in any this vs that crap. Just don't want to hear this apple can do no wrong type of fanboy crap.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Sorry no it really isn't rubbish. The iPad 1 was plenty useful and extremely user friendly, even without multitasking. The same can be said for any iPhone up to the 3GS before the software update. Think whatever you want, but Apple waited until they could do a seamless user experience with what they called multitasking, whether it is true multitasking or not. When they rolled out iOS 4 and multitasking for the iPad, it only added to the usability of the device.

Stop being so negative and just get real with the device's strongpoints. I'm not of the mentality that "Apple can do no wrong", but I at least give credit when credit is due. Whether you like their product launch strategy or not, they've done very well with it and I don't see that changing any time soon.
[Xoom General] someone0:
I went back to read his part 1 of the article. And I had a big pause after reading a 2nd paragraph.

Too slow? Wow, does he even know what he is talking about? Unless he is talking about very very early tablets that run on pre-core CPU system, then I cannot believe he is saying Core 2 Duo is slower than A5 or Tegra 2. I mean, I got like a 3 years Fujitsu T4215 a 12" SXGA+ convertible tablet running Windows 7 running on a Core 2 Duo T7200 w/ 4GB or RAM. And yes, it boot into Windows slower than those two tablet booting iOS or Honeycomb. But as a business tool, I can use it as part of my workflow for RAW conversion. It still take hours on this unit, but if I had to do it on iPad2 or Xoom it probably take days if not weeks to finish RAW conversion. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the rest of the article probably good, didn't read that far yet. But I still couldn't believe he call those system slow, especially if compared to something like core i5 or i7 that was release in 2008-2009.
[Xoom General] AJerman:
I haven't posted since I got it, so just a short note of my thoughts. Since this is a related thread, I'll put this here. First off, I'm an Android guy, I want an Android tablet. I wanted the Xoom but...

The biggest number one thing that sold me on the iPad 2 over the Xoom was the screen. I thought the screen was the Xoom's advantage with the better aspect ratio and higher pixel count, but the Xoom's screen seriously under performs. The thing I wanted a tablet for was casual web browsing, maybe reading some books, and some web browsing. The Xoom's screen has a very poor viewing angle and just didn't look as good as the iPad's. Being that I want it for nothing more than media and web browsing, the iPad works out for me. I would rather have Android, but I also don't know if Honeycomb is so great right now. To me this is the first big step for Android tablets. They can compete now, but I think we need to see a better overall package and a software update before Android tablets take a step ahead, especially at a higher price point.

I think the performance is comparable enough to make that a non-factor in purchasing. Both are very nice packages with dual core CPUs and nice GPUs. The software, like I said, I'd rather have Android, but I don't necessarily know if I'd rather have 3.0, though I'm sure a few updates and community support and it will work just fine.

I mean no disrespect for the Xoom, I'm a completely unbiased tech guy, I use what works best at the time, not what company I love more. If anyone wants to get mad at me for picking an iPad over the Xoom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to post my impressions of both since I hadn't posted since I had hands on with both.

Now, when Samsung gets a Super AMOLED Android tablet out, I'll buy it the day it comes out. I think the issue is that I'm spoiled with my SAMOLED on my Captivate, so the iPad is already a step down in a way.

I liked the Xoom though. I just want to give Android a little time to mature on tablets. It's definitely an iPad competitor, but I think Android can offer more and blow the iPad away by this time next year.

I hardly think he's talking about convertible laptop/tablets as tablets. Other than the fact that you can make it be a touch screen on the top of the device, they hardly compare. You're talking about an entire PC. The only thing I can't think of is what else was available that you could consider a tablet back then, because that was pretty much it. The smaller thin tablets we have today aren't really even the same class of device as the old convertible tablets of previous years. I'm not sure what he's comparing to.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Now, when Samsung gets a Super AMOLED Android tablet out,

I can guarantee you this will never happen, atleast not anytime soon.
[Xoom General] AJerman:
You can't guarantee anything unless you are the CEO of Samsung. It's already been rumored since last year and they've built concept devices. As time goes and production costs go down, it's only natural that we'd see Samsung put some type of SAMOLED screen in the tablets. I wouldn't be surprised if the next refresh of the Galaxy Tab line is SAMOLED. We're talking a year or so probably, but that's fine, I don't need to be in the market for a tablet now for another year or two.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
I agree but if you don't have the direct comparison every day you get used to the Xoom's inferior screen. Unfortunately in this ever-evolving tech world it is virtually impossible to get "the Perfect Product". Apple's products have the unique benefit of having everything originating from the same source: Apple. No guessing what hardware needs to be supported so the software is tailored to every hardware detail. For almost every other OS out there the software manufacturers can only have minimal and recommended specs but at the end everything needs to be pieced together. It's almost as if you compare a hand-made, tailored suit from a designer to something you buy at Men's warehouse.

I personally do not see myself moving away from the Xoom anytime soon. Not sure if a Samsung screen is worth switching. I am past the time of my life when I always have to have the top-of-the-line gadget :D
[Xoom General] AJerman:
Yeah, I thought about that too, I just think my SGS and perhaps my SGS 2 soon with an SAMOLED+ would make me sad to look at my Xoom every day, haha. You're right about it being impossible to have the perfect product. The cost of production would be too hard to recoup from regular consumers that don't care as much about top of the line. I hate to make it sound so nit picky to decide on a tablet for it's screen, but I have a limited use for a tablet, and with media and book reading, a screen is one of the most important features.

I need to stop reading the Xoom forum though before I end up with a Xoom and the iPad. I am jealous because I don't have Android, haha.
[Xoom General] khov07:
Interesting article. Author got flamed pretty bad in the comments though.
[Xoom General] roebeet:
The Apple user experience is nil, at the moment. When a device is backordered for 4-5 weeks, it's not exactly a usable product if I can't even get my hands on it. I'm not sure why Apple is getting a pass here - this is a big issue, AFAIC.

And I'm not about to run out and buy an iPad1 on fleaBay, so that doesn't count.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
I am not being negative. I just simply pointed out that not everything apple has done has was perfect/finished which is what was implied. That is all.

Yes the ipad when it launched it was all of those things. But that does not mean it was not unfinished. Launching a tablet that could not multitask = not finished period. I do not care about nor did I mention the "true" multitasking thing. Nor does their launch strategy or how well the device as done has anything at all to due it.

The ipad was the only tablet worth buying for the majority of the time it was out. The ipad2 is actually great for the price. Even the original ipad is even a better deal at the moment. Since the new one came out nobody even mentions it anymore since now all of sudden its old ancient hardware. That is a hell of device for 399. I do not have to list all the pro's of a device/company just because I pointed out the negative aspects of a past launch/release.
[Xoom General] AJerman:
Yes, shame on Apple for creating a product that is purchased faster than it can be produced.
[Xoom General] roebeet:
/sarcasm? I actually agree with your statement, even if you being sarcastic.

This is a major product line of theirs and they couldn't gauge potential user response? Someone in their inventory management area should be fired, imo. They were not doing their job.

If it were around for a few days and then went OOS for a week or two, I can understand that. But this thing was gone on the first day. Somebody in Apple screwed up, big time.

My guess is that they were planning an April rollout (which would match up with the current inventory issues), but somebody decided to up the release date to March, thus causing the current issues with stock. Oopsie!
[Xoom General] vvaffles:
just playing devil's advocate here

i would say that it isn't a mistake at all. this is fantastic publicity for apple in general, it looks great for the company and the stock holders.

i.e., "we push the release time till 5pm so people wouldn't line up, but they did anyway in the rain" or "we sold out all our stocks in the first day, shows demand is much greater than supply"

even if they did have enough stock, it may not be a bad idea to short stock themselves to give the illusion of high demand

At the end of the day, apple stocks should go up because of this, and money is all that matters
[Xoom General] AJerman:
You're crazy. It's estimated that Apple has sold about a million iPad 2s already vs the Xoom is estimating 300k in it's first quarter. It takes a while to make a million iPads. It's not even necessarily Apple's shortages, it could be a supplier that's slowing them down.

By your logic, it's Apples fault they sold out of iPads and iPhones every time, it's Microsoft's fault they sold out of Xbox 360s, it's Nintendo's fault they sold out of Wiis (for MONTHS), it's Sony's fault they sold out of PS3s. Why would a company sit on a million units of inventory rather than releasing it while continuing to make more. They are still going to have the same amount made in the same period of time, just one way they are making money and not having excess stock build up and the other way they wait for another few months while iPads already finished with production are sitting collecting dust. That makes no logical business sense at all.

If they had sold out of a couple thousand of them, I'd agree with you, but at a million?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Are you serious? They get a pass because people are actually buying the iPad, unlike the Xoom. How can you criticize them for literally not having millions on hand?

First of all, do you know what it takes to produce MILLIONS of tablets? Second of all, you know it benefits Apple GREATLY that they are out of stock all of the time right? Being out of stock for half of the summer shows consumers that its a hot device and a must have and people don't like to be told that they cannot have something that they want. Makes them just want it more.
[Xoom General] codeman05:
when did XDA get invaded by iFans?

FWIW, I did order an Ipad2 for the wife. The backlight bleed was so bad that even she noticed it enough that it has now be returned.

All hail the superior display & user experience /sarcasm
[Xoom General] AJerman:
It has nothing to do with what you're a fan of, it's simple business logic. Android tablet users know they aren't going to match the sales of the iPad right now, and I don't think anyone here is even slightly bothered by that. It doesn't make you an "iFan" to state an observation.
[Xoom General] someone0:
I think you gave the wrong credit then. Everything that run iOS device isn't exactly useful or user friendly. I know they are not friendly to me. I give you that they have an easy software/firmware upgrade route. In my past experience, I got involve in the tech back when DOS3 was new then people start talking about apple, I did check it out but wasn't please w/ it not even after Macintosh. I learn how to use both Windows and Linux later on. But even as of today, I still don't own a Mac desktop/laptop. The only two things I ever brought made by apple were iPod and iPod Touch. Simply because in my opinion they are the best at what they do.

User friendly device is quite a subjective words though. I mean, friendly to one isn't necessary to another. But to me, friendliness is something I measured by asking myself, how much effort I have to put into it to have it do something I want it to do. And quite honestly. It's extremely difficult. I can't just stream any movie/music/picture off my server, which is something I can even do on Windows Mobile device before iPhone exist. Granted, not all media can be played on such old device, but that's simply a hardware/technological limitation at the time.

Usefulness is just as subjective as well. I would even argue Apple philosophy in it's devices to lock down their product is anything but useful. Even w/ all the apps that are available for iOS devices right now, they are not Apple products, and their usefulness aren't Apple. App that made for iPhone or iPad today by 3rd party are not guarantee to only be available there.

I will say that the concept of App Store and even the smart cover are quite innovative. And there are a lots of things that Apple has brought to it devices. But they certainly are not friendly, at least not to me and they definitely are not useful when compared to product of similar class.
