I thought I had blocked the OTA updates so I let my idiot guard down and it bit me today. My thunderbolt downloaded the OTA update from Verizon and tries to apply it. But now it is stuck in a loop. The update reboots the phone, which goes into clockworkmod recovery, which fails to verify whole-file signature, then stops. When I reboot the phone it reboots fine, all the way into Sense. Then after a 20 seconds or so the phone reboots itself (with a shutting down message) and tries to apply the update again. I'm thinking of trying to unroot the phone to fix the loop because I have the phone in USB debug charge only mode. Is this a good idea? I am running just the straight rooted Thunderbolt rom, nothing special. The thing I think it is tripping up on is that the bloatware has been removed so the update can't "fix" them. Edit: turns out I still had the pg05img.zip file on the SD card. Flashing it with Hboot solved the problem. of course I have to reinstall everything but oh well.

I'm pretty sure most everything was working IF you installed a patch afterwards, but I haven't used it in a few weeks. Going to try MIUI tonight though after work.

So my friend has a Nook Color and I put CM7 on it for her a while ago and that's been pretty good except using phone apps on a larger screen kinda sucks and I think moving to a Honeycomb ROM would be pretty neat and might help with a few of the app layouts sucking. Anybody have any recommendations on a HC from for Nook Color?

I'd recommend going with MIUI. It's faster than the last CM 7 I tried and they GUI is much better suited to a tablet. A new version should be coming out today or tomorrow.

Takes No Damage posted:Anybody ever flashed the radio on an Inspire? I just rooted and ROMd mine today, put Android Revolution on there and its working nice enough so far. The forum post says flashing up to their more recent radio.img is highly recommended, so I downloaded all the files and followed the instructions in the readme (open a cmd prompt in the radio folder and enter some commands for a few exe files while your phone is on the hboot screen). It didn't throw any errors but when I reboot and go check the software versions my Baseband is unchanged. Well you fuckers are no help <  > Finally got it working, and in case anyone else has the same issue I think the problem was that I was storing radio.img in a zip file. Once I tried it with a file that had been compressed in a zip file it went through without a hitch.

Unfortunately a lot revolves around XDA since it's huge but as a commenter on that post said it's the wild west. The moderators are horribly ineffective and the site is just full of trolls/idiots. It's like geocities over there, every poster has to have their own thread to talk about a silly snapshot they took with their phone or how their battery life has lasted over 4 days now!!! I've been watching the XDA Evo 3D forums for awhile now waiting for news of root and I just can't take it any longer. I'll be watching twitter or something instead. While the HTC Sensation forums aren't much better, there are actually E3D devs posting over there instead to get away from all the drama in the E3D forum. It's pathetic and most certainly not the kind of community you want to spend much time helping.

So has anyone tried MIUI on their X? I'm interested but just came back to AOSP liberty from CM7, and if it's based off CM7, I really don't want to deal with that for a little at least. Curious if everything is working. Read through the thread that was linked but really didn't get any kind of info from it.

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and installing CM7 on my Droid X. Anything I should know beforehand? I'm currently running stock .596 rooted, so I know I'll have to SBF back to Froyo. What makes me hesitant is the idea of having to go through the upgrade process to return to rooted GB if I don't like it. Specifically, anyone care to chime in on things like GPS performance, battery life, or any other annoyances they have with it that might make me want to hold off until they figure out how to boot it off the GB kernel? And what about MIUI?

There's an all in one fix package available for CM7 that you should install after flashing the ROM. For the most part everything was working ok. GPS seemed to take a bit longer for me for some reason. Just last night I flashed back to AOSP Liberty because I was unable to run a few games that I enjoy wasting time with. I would attempt to run them and they would just set the screen to black and then eventually reboot. Of course, your mileage will probably vary. Edit: also, consider this anecdotal, but the battery seemed to drain a bit faster that what I've been used to with AOSP Liberty. It got me through the day, so that's all that really matters. But if that's something that bugs you, heads up. rotaryfun fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jul 23, 2011 |

Is anyone cares, Virtous 3.0 is a pretty solid rom and there's a mod for stuff like showing the battery percentage. It's pretty solid with only a couple of quirks. I'd still reccomend installing it if you can find a link to 1.29.

I'm running CM7 on my Thunderbolt and I keep having stupid wifi problems. After a reboot or switching out of airplane mode, things are fine for a brief while. After that it'll find my networks and say it's connected and everything but I won't get any online access. What's weird is that in Settings, the network will say it has an "Excellent" connection but the little wifi wave symbol in the notification bar will stay gray. Anyone else had similar problems? It sounds like lots of people with CM7 have had wifi problems although not quite like what's happening to me. Any suggestions? Maybe try a different kernel or something? I'm just using the one it came with.

 Hey folks, Some of you may have been following the news lately of a quantity of HTC G2 warranty replacements being shipped with an unrootable form of 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Well just last night someone apparently found a way to temproot and downgrade the device to a prior OTA build. It will still be S-ON, but at least you'll now be rootable! Check it out here. This also ties in quite nicely with an automated utility for rooting the DZ/G2 located here.

Decided, screw it... I want to try MIUI. Currently installing on my X. Edit: installed... and boy is this different. Definitely going to take some getting used to. This is really going to take some getting used to... but it's VERY slick and VERY responsive. I haven't found anything that doesn't work just yet. GPS, camera, and camcorder all work great. Although it's not the MIUI camera that's in the ROM, it's just the AOSP camera. It's the only thing though that I've seen in the ROM that's AOSP so far. rotaryfun fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jul 23, 2011 |

Looks like the reason MIUI for the droid x has the aosp camera installed is because the miui camera just doesn't work. Hopefully they fix that eventually.

I'm using it after installing it from an APK I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984279&page=15 You just have to change the settings to 3264x2448, but without widescreen. From what I've read, all motorola did was setup blur to crop that same sized image down to "widescreen" anyway. MIUI is ridiculously good, and I can't see myself going back to Liberty, Apex or even CM7. It seems like an actual OS, as opposed to a new skin with more settings available. However, if anyone can get it to run a new boot animation, please let me know. Also if you find a way to make the camera default to something other than stock, also let me know that.

Still liking it quite a bit. I did decide to go ahead and install go launcher ex and am still really happy with the overall system. Really liking the amount of themes and customization that's available. Probably give it a few days to see how it grows on me. Hopefully the battery flattens out a bit. Died on me by 10ish tonight but I have been using it quite a bit so I'm not too worried about that. Although every now and again I do feel like the phone feels a bit hotter than normal.

I absolutely cannot wait to upgrade to a new phone and leave my OG Droid behind in its sluggish laggy hell of its own. But since I've been using my Xoom for all my app needs, running the latest GPA Build of Peter Alfonso's Gingerbread ROM (the guy who made bugless beast), I get this kind of performance out of it, and felt the need to share... I still can't believe a phone thats 4 months shy of being 2 years old is still getting battery life like this. Of course my homescreen is just simi clock, and a nice pleasant picture to look at. My droid just basically does music in my car, the news & weather app here and there, and texting. This thing really was a brickhouse of stability and reliability. I will no doubt miss it the day its gone. My new every 2 is ready to go in August, but I'm holding out for a Verizon Motorola phone with an NFC chip. I hope that happens before Christmas.

Uhm, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, and I'll delete my post if something's wrong, but I want to know how to root my HTC Wildfire. I accidentally updated to 2.2.1 when the update came out, completely forgetting about my intention to root it. I tried Unrevoked straight after to check if it supported the new firmware, and it said it didn't. The Unrevoked people have said that it doesn't work with 2.2 and they'd fix it soon, but it's been a few months with no progress. Is there any way to root it? Thanks in advance for help, this is my first android so I'm not too sure about these things!

EVO running Fresh 4.2 - I've had this EVO since October. I feel like an idiot looking back at this. One of those, just should have left well enough alone. I was on a road trip and went to use Wifi tether and it didn't work. So I googled and read that people were having problems with tether on 4.2, so... I did what could have been the first mistake in a list of mistakes. I flashed down to 4.1 to try that. Nope... still no Wifi Tether... so again, possible mistake, I flashed to the last time I KNEW wifi tether worked Fresh 3.3.0.1. Wifi tether then worked, but now, Gmail is all sorts of messed up and will not sync or even email. If it does sync it just syncs back to June 19th which is odd because that was way before I even started flashing around. I did get it to sync once, and I saw current email, but when I went back to the inbox it went back to June 19th again and everything was gone. On the computer side, Gmail works fine and I see everything as usual. Where do I go from here? No, in my haste I didn't backup RECENTLY...been since I rooted in Oct. (stupid). If I go through nandroid and wipe all user data will I have to go through the whole rooting process again? Krime fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jul 24, 2011 |
