How can I edit the title of saved/starred places in Google Maps Android?
|
In Google Maps Android 5.10 you can save a place by clicking and starring the place. However, the name of the saved place is automatically generated by Maps, and can't be edited. Is there a good way to edit that title, to show the correct/actual name of that place for example? Googling I only found a solution involving editing the starred place in Google Bookmarks webapps. Is there a better solution?

Setting Defaults for Links
|
I've been confused about how this works for quote some time now-- when I click a link, say in a browser (Chrome for example) and get the "open with" dialog if you will, if I chose to save a default for a Google maps link, will that set the default to ALL Google maps links, that particular link, or am I missing something? I'm often afraid to set defaults because I'm not clear on what it is I'm actually setting a default for-- is it the domain name? I'd appreciate any tips, links to documentation, or app suggestions to make this clearer to me. Thanks!

How can I reboot the Camera device using the command line on a rooted phone
|
I have an Lg Optimus one(LG-P509) running CyanogenMod7 stable. Apparently there is a bug with the camera device. If the screen is turned off while the camera is active, the camera won't initialize again. If I try to start the camera up, it freezes up and crashes with a "Camera not responding" popup. It kicks me back to the home screen afterwards. The camera is usable again after a reboot, however it can still happen again. I've found that the bug is not limited to the stock camera app, it still happens with other apps that use the camera. I thought that if it's possible to reload the device for the camera with the command line, I could automate it with a script. I just can't seem to find any documentation on the subject. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Which uses more power/drains more battery: HTC Evo 3G or 4G?
|
I've read mixed reports online about which radio uses more power -- 3G or 4G. Has anyone done any semi-scientific tests that would answer this question? * When constantly downloading data over the same period of time, which uses more battery (battery drain per second of download)? * When downloading the same amount of data, which uses more battery (battery drain per KB)? * Do both radios sleep with the same consistency? Do they use the same amount of power when sleeping or is one better than the other? I don't think this is a simple question since the different frequencies might take different amounts of power to transmit/receive, since 4G is faster and may get to go back to sleep sooner, since the process of holding onto a signal may be different, etc. My city won't have 4G until the end of the year but I'd really like to know.

What are the privacy implications of using Talk-to-Text?
|
Given that the Android implementation of Talk-To-Text sends your voice to Google's servers, parses your speech into text, then sends the text string back to the handset, what are the privacy implications of using Talk-to-Text? Does this mean, for example, that anything that I say to my beloved Nexus One is stored on Google's servers? Do Google TOS refer specifically to this issue?

Slow opening of calendar items
|
I've bought an HTC Desire HD yesterday with Android 2.2 Froyo and HTC Sense. So I migrated my calendar items manually and it seemed to pick up some connections from my Facebook and my Twitter, which was nice.. But: From time to time the calendar app just becomes really really slow for some reason, the sync icon is running, and the items just won't open. When this happens I keep staring at a blank screen for about 20 seconds which is really annoying... When I check out what he is syncing its always either Facebook, or the Google calendar. I already tried to switch these things off, but it does not seem to help :( ... It even goes to the point where the whole calendar app just crashes, or even takes HTC Sense with it.. How can I make the calendar fast? Thanks in advance!

HTC Evo - Can Wi-Fi Radio Sleep?
|
I've noticed that when actively downloading a lot of data, the Wi-Fi radio uses much less power than the 3G radio. However, when the phone is not being used much, the 3G radio will sleep but the Wi-Fi radio will not. This actually means that if I leave Wi-Fi on, my battery will drain about 2.5 times faster than if I were using 3G. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? When in range of a Wi-Fi signal I'd like it if I could leave Wi-Fi on and it would sleep in a similar manner to the 3G radio. Is this possible? Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > After 15 min doesn't appear to do what I want. Basically, Wi-Fi will always be on and then if not used, will turn off after 15 minutes and turn on the 3G radio. And then the 3G radio won't sleep at all! Which is really horrible and not what I want at all.

How can I view email in conversations view?
|
I am looking for a way to view my emails on Android in conversation style view, just like Gmail does. I've tried Aqua Mail, MailDroid, K-9 Mail and Kaiten Mail, but none seems to have a conversation view. To be clear; I am not looking for a "Threaded view". A threaded view groups emails on the basis of subject, but does not include my own emails in that conversation. What I need is a way to view the emails as a conversation in which all emails, including my own, are listed. Does anybody know how I would be able to view my emails on Android in conversation view?

Xperia x10i complaining "no network connection" in some apps, but not others
|
I have an Xperia x10i running firmware version 2.1-update1 from 3 (a very annoyingly-named mobile service provider). After returning from a trip, I have noticed that certain applications are having difficulty recognizing the availability of a network connection, while others function just fine. The cases I have spotted so far: * After spending a good while on "Loading...", the Facebook app displays "No Internet Connection. Try Again" * The Youtube app immediately displays a popup stating "Attention: There is no network connection right now. Please try again later." on startup. Attempting to view any type of information from youtube (e.g., "favorites" or "most viewed" lists, not just videos) causes this same error to be displayed. * The Google+ app can retrieve and display Notifications or members of my Circles just fine, but attempting to view posts leads to a long "Loading..." display, followed by "Google+ connection lost." * Searching and browsing work properly in the Android Marketplace app, but any attempt to install or update apps results in the downloads almost immediately going into "Download paused" status and staying there for hours, aside from the occasional attempt to restart the download (which invariably ends in re-pausing it), until I kill the Marketplace app. Despite this, other apps work just fine - Browser will run searches and bring up pages, the Google Calendar widget updates properly, etc. These results are consistent regardless of whether I am on a 3G or wi-fi network. "Data traffic" is enabled under Mobile Network Settings. Both "Background data" and "Auto- sync" are enabled in Accounts & Sync Settings. What do I need to do to get this working again?

Extract App Data from Nandroid / CWM Backup
|
I use ClockworkMod Recovery, and Slimbean. Recently, my slimbean started hanging at the loading screen and getting insanely hot. So I took a backup, and cleaned flashed AOKP rom. It's working fine so far. Initially, I tried to do a flash without clearing data. Then, a clean flash with "advanced restore"ing the data alone from the backup, but both resulted in the above-mentioned problem of hanging at boot screen. Is there a way to extract the app-data from CWM backup and restore it manually? Or an app for this?

3g direct between two android devices

Is it posible to connect two or more android devices using 3g bypassing the provider infrastructure. Or in other words is it posible for a android mobile phone to recieve the sending signal directly from a other phone and take action on that. Can I add a private Sim card to realise this connection between a set of phones using a duals SIM phone. Phone B is recieving the send signals from Phone A using a second SIM card adjusted for the good frequencies. By exchaning the role of master and slave we can transmit and recieve signals in the G3 band. To be legal we need a subscrition for A and |B Is it posible in Android to realize this senario.

Pandigital SuperNova 1080p Output?
|
I ordered a Pandigital SuperNova and I own a 1080p LED TV. The Pandigital SuperNova has a Micro HDMI port on it. My TV has a regular HDMI port. If I connect an HDMI cable with regular HDMI on one end to my TV with Micro HDMI on the other into my SuperNova, will I be able to have 1080p output onto my TV? I've read from this pcmag.com article: > The SuperNova plays 1080p videos, although it doesn't display them anywhere > in 1080p. You get 800-by-600 on the main screen, and 720p HD on a TV, all > perfectly smoothly. But I was hoping for more confirmation on this. (actually hoping the statement to be disproven lol) I'm not ready to accept it as a fact until more people who have tested this can reply.

How do I connect LG P500 to Mac OS X Lion?
|
I've been given a nice LG-P500 phone for my 67th birthday. How the heck do I transfer music, photos and videos from the phone to my iMac OS X Lion, and vice versa? I can't access the mini-SD card, so I can't find the LG PC Suite IV which is referred to in the P500 "Simple Manual". In the "Important notice" pink pages bit, in section 9 I can get up to the first part of para. 4: I can turn on USB storage on the phone. The phone opens "Image Capture" when I connect it by USB to the iMac. There is nothing visible. And of course an .exe file is for Microsoft Windows, not Apple. Don't tell me I have to buy Parallels. And if the only way is sending stuff up into the clouds and retrieving it again, I'm not impressed. LG should surely have a way of doing it direct to Mac. After all, Mac OS isn't exactly new! So, two requests: * Where can I download a Mac Lion version of LG PC Suite? * Where can I download a "Full Manual"? The "Simple Manual" - which you can download from all over the place - says "you can do stuff" but not, unfortunately, "this is how you do stuff." Not much use.

How to change default PDF viewer on Nook Color?

Google Now Data Privacy
|
What extra data does Google Now collect once it's been activated? I am aware of Location Data, and corroboration of Google Products data. This data was explicitly volunteered by the user. However, I am concerned about what data they collect from 3rd party (non- Google) sources, such as Synchronized Exchange Calendars and Contacts. Since Google Now is demonstrably able to generate reminders from events in 3rd party data sources, are they collecting & storing this (often times company sensitive) data on their servers? The following paragraph seems to suggest that this is exactly what Google is doing: > About Google Now: Similarly, **Google Now can use data that you may have > stored in third-party products that you allow Google to access.** For > example, your device's synced calendar may include entries from non-Google > calendar products. If you have a synced calendar entry for a dentist > appointment that includes the dentist's address, Google Now can check > traffic and suggest when to leave. Can anyone share some thoughts?

How do I get the common name of an app having the package name (like com.android.blabla)? (command line or included app)
|
I’m interested in a way to go from the package name (e.g. com.android.providers.telephony) to it’s common name (Phone/Messaging Storage). The answer should only assume shell access (adb) on the phone (or any system/preinstalled app). I know that a bunch of apps reveal both once you could pin the app in it. – In Android 4.x (tried with 4.2.2) you can even use the system app manager to confirm the package name once you found and selected the app via the common name.

CWM: Almost any rom I try to install returns "(Status 0)" [HTC One GSM]

CWM version: 6.0.4.3 touch I tried to update my CM 10.2 to 11, but I always run into this error when installing a zip from SD card: E:Error in /data/media/0/[filename].zip (Status 0) Installation aborted. This happens for every rom I try to install, _except_ a Kitkat AOSP rom I tried. Even the 10.2 Rom I still had around on the card threw an error, but a different one. I can't remember what exactly, but it looked like it couldn't match my phone's type (`m7`) to `m7` or `m7ul` I think my phone somehow forgot that it is an `m7` Anyone got an idea how I can install roms again?

I have been using Gameboid for a long time in landscape on my phone, but since I got my N7, I've been playing in portrait mode instead of landscape. The problem now is that the L and R buttons are much too far away to reach, and there is no way to move them. I looked at My Boy!, but it doesn't have that capability either, and for that matter doesn't even support portrait mode. Is there any emulator which does have the ability to move the controls?

Android's Chrome bookmarks won't show up in desktop's Chrome
|
I have a Moto G (Kitkat 4.4.2) which I've synced to my Google account. The desktop Chrome bookmarks show up just fine in my cellphone's Chrome but the bookmarks added via the phone, which are stored in a `Cellphone bookmarks` folder in my phone, won't show up in my desktop's Chrome (elementary OS Luna). I have _Sync everything_ enabled in my desktop's Chrome. How can I force Android's Chrome bookmarks to sync with my desktop's chrome? ## **Edit** I just realized that the `Cellphone bookmark` folder **is** present in my desktop's Chrome but _I can only see it_ if I go into the `Bookmarks manager` (or `Manage bookmarks`, translating from Spanish here) option. The folder does show there but it doesn't in the bookmarks bar. This is starting to look like a bug in Chrome. Anyone else can reproduce this?

Setup Exchange OWA / Activesync on Android or iPhone
|
I'm wondering whether there's a way I can configure my phone sync my corporate emails and calendars? Sometimes when I'm away for meetings all day, I am not informed of any last minute meeting changes, or I could have forgotten about certain meetings during the day. It can get quite challenging and embarrassing managing such situations especially during days when I'm very mobile. I'm sure my boss isn't too happy about it. The challenge is, my company has disabled the activesync feature on our corporate Exchange server. The only solution I have now is to access OWA via my phone periodically to check my email. However, I can't possibly do that all the time. I found out also that there are phone apps that could do this, but I would need to pay for them. And in time to come, my company is going to disable OWA altogether, and that would render my small investment in the app worthless. This makes me wonder whether is it really so complicated to configure one's phone to perform something so simple? Since I could configure my personal laptop to download my corporate emails, there must be a workaround to still sync my phone to the Exchange server. However, there's no feature for me to configure certain settings on my phone which I could on my Outlook. For instance, "Exchange Proxy Settings" and "Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificate". Does anyone know if there a way to force your phone to allow the same Outlook configurations? Otherwise, is it possible to perform activesync natively via OWA instead? If all else fails, I guess I could only either throw in the towel and find some other non-geeky ways to resolve this problem.

Media Player that streams YouTube - control with headset remote
|
I'm looking for a way to do the following: * Search and stream music from YouTube (don't care about the video). * Play this music in the background (while the screen is off or while using a different app) * Control the music using the controls built in to my earphones. This also means that pushing these controls should not start/stop the default media player (as it normally would). * Use the controls in my earphones to answer a call while the music is playing. Optimally I would also like the following (from highest priority to lowest): * Create playlists containing songs from YouTube. * Customize the earphone-controls using apps like Phillips Headset or JAYS Headset Control * Create playlists containing both YouTube songs and songs stored on my phone. Currently I'm using PVSTAR+ to stream songs from YouTube, but I can't control it with my earphones. (Also, I can't add local songs to a playlist.) In fact, PVSTAR+ is not recognized as a media player by Phillips Headset, JAYS Headset, or any other headset-control-app I tried. VLC can stream from YouTube, but it doesn't allow me to search YouTube (haven't tested it beyond that). Music Player (Youtube Music) can search and stream from YouTube, and play local songs (probably includes playlist feature as well), but it doesn't get recognized by the control apps. Enabling the earphone controls doesn't work (the app itself says that it won't work if there is a default media player). Does anyone have any ideas for a setup that might work for this usecase? I don't think it's relevant, but if it is: I'm using a Sony XPERIA Z2 (audio plug is CTIA, Android 4.4.x with Sony layer) and a Phillips SHE9005 headset with mic, volume slider and control button.

I'd like to be able to send A2DP to my car stereo while at the same time sending phone calls to the speakerphone I have in my car. I haven't bought the stereo adapter yet, since I wanted to find out if this setup would work, otherwise I would just try it. ;) Thanks!

ZTE Blade/San Francisco memory cards that work
|
I'm looking out to extend the card memory for my ZTE Blade phone. Can anybody who has experience with this tell me which SD cards (preferably 16GB and above) certainly work well for the San Francisco/ZTE Blade phone? If you're using this phone with an SD card model that works, please tell me which one. Note: many people seem to report that some SD cards do not work well with this phone. Thanks!

Blank Circle name in Google+
|
On my Google+ Android app (version 2.1.1.219805) there is a Circle with no name. There's no one in the Circle. When I check Google+ on the web, this mystery Circle is not there. All of my Circles are as they should be. I've already Force Stopped and cleared the data for the app. What's going on or, at least, how do I get rid of it?

Mobile browser and google apps in mobile internet fails to connect, but everything else can use connection

My android phone cannot browse any internet page and use google apps on 2G/3G network. However I can freely ping anything from terminal emulator. I can use at as AP point (I am doing it now). Wifi browsing works well. Why I have no idea. Only indication of problem is: failed to identify at proxy error (I am not sure my localisation says something similar). What is happening? I recently installed cyanogenmod instead of Android jelybean 4.1. I cleaned phone using standart procedure through clockwork rom manager. Any ideas what could be wrong?

how to get control-/ or control-_ to work
|
I'm using the Hacker's Keyboard, which provides extra keys such as control, alt, and so forth which are necessary when doing things like shell commands. I'm having an issue where I can't undo in emacs using a single keystroke. Using ctrl-x,u works, but it very clumsy on a tablet, due to the fact that the there is no tactile feedback - so to undo accurately I have to type very slowly, which is the opposite of what I want to do when undoing, which is to quickly jump back several states. I could add something to my .emacs file to choose a different keystroke, but now I have several machines that I have to create or update an .emacs file on, so I would like to use the default if possible. And there is also the question of what key I would use: for instance, control-z is one possibility but that is already taken by suspend process. control-u is another, but it is already taken too. The two default single keystrokes that emacs uses to undo are control-/ and control-_. However, when I try both of these keystrokes in Android, the control part seems to get lost. I have also tried `cat | hexdump` or `cat` directly from a shell prompt (ssh or terminal) and the control seems to get lost in those two, instead of seeing something like `^_` as expected. Other control characters work just fine, so I can't see how it's a general issue with either app not recognizing control characters. From reading various pieces of documentation it seems like Android 3.0 Honeycomb added support for all the various control characters, although looking directly at the Android documentation I don't see a code for everything, so I'm not sure if this is something that just isn't supported or if the application is at fault, or if there is just something else that I have missed that is needed for this to work.

Force Android to stop asking me if I want to terminate my own app
|
I've got a simple logger app that I wrote for my Android phone. The problem is, periodically (seems like it happens every few days) when I turn on my phone I am confronted with a modal dialog box telling me that my app has consume X amount of CPU already, and do I want to kill it? The thing is, this generally happens some time AFTER I have stopped logging and it is just sitting there doing nothing, and moreover, this is when it is on AC power, so I don't see how battery consumption is even a concern. In any case, it is getting annoying having to constantly tell it to not kill the app. It is more concerning to think that this might still happen if I ever enable "stealth" mode on my app to track it if it is stolen, as this would alert a perpetrator and give them a chance to disable my app. Is there some way to disable this behavior? If so, how?

I know I would need an adaptor; I'm asking about the tablet itself.

What Effect Will Installing A Custom Launcher Have On MIUI V.5?
|
A friend installed the custom rom MIUI V.5, and is finding it a bit different to stock jelly bean. I told him to give it time to adjust, as i'm sure "its not that different". Rather than disposing of MIUI altogether, he says he is thinking of installing a custom launcher eg Nova launcher. He therefore wishes to know what effect (if any) will installing Nova launcher have on MIUI, and will it bring the stock Jelly Bean "experience" back or not ? **Edit:** **What he trying to say is: By combining Nova launcher with MIUI, will the experience/functionality of doing so be similar to using Nova launcher with stock jelly bean, thereby making this transition to MIUI less unfamiliar & more user friendly ?**

Deleted stock browser browing history recovering and stock browser "opened tab" information
|
For some reasons, I cannot see my browsing history for a week (does Android stock browser automatically delete browsing histories?): So, has my browsing histories been deleted? If so, is there any way to recover it? Secondly, if stock browser crashed and opened tabs weren't recovered, is there any way to find out information either by trying to recover some file that contained the information (so, I guess android equivalent of Recuva) or anything else? BTW, I use Android Ice Cream 4.0 and my stock browser does preserve tabs, except in some crashes (not all crashes close down tabs). I use LG Optimus LTE II.

Special Wi-Fi authentication

It even asked for the password to connect to it (which I have), but as far as I know I have to use an user name with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 too. The question is: can I somehow connect to that network with my username+password? If not, will it be possible after the 2.1 update for X10?

How to backup applications' data from second or subsequent user of a currently non-rooted device?
|
Primary question: given a **non-rooted** 4.2.2 device which has second user added and used for awhile, is there any way to backup or otherwise safe the application's data of that second (or third etc.) user? I would like to have backup of **application's data only** , like what produced by `adb backup`. Full backup is fine if you also include information on how to eventually extract the application's data. Software procedure that destroy the system is acceptable as long as the application's data of second user's can be saved, so rooting the device is fine if you let me know how to do it with the application's data of second user intact. I have try backing it up using `adb backup` but I don't see any data from the second user in it. Additional question: I also want to restore a backup into second user of another device. It seems rooting the device will be the best way, right? Or there is another way? More case specific information: I have a non-rooted Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 running 4.2.2 with second user setup and used, but now have cracked screen and other issues. I have replacement device a Dell Venue 7 running 4.4.3, but because of different capability, I want to setup the later device with the 2 accounts swapped, i.e. 1st account of the MeMO Pad HD 7 will become second user in the Venue 7 and vice versa.

Disable the sd card emulation and use only the external sd card?
|
My Mother has a Samsung tablet, which is not rooted. She always gets confused with the different sdcard locations, as some apps store their data on the physical sdcard and others drop data to the emulated one. I may be able to copy all data from the emulated sdcard to the physical sdcard, but wonder whether there is a possibility to deactivate the emulated card in favor of the external card. There is plenty of space on the external sdcard, so I don't see the point in using up the internal memory by storing to the emulated card. What I'm looking for is a solution that in a way links the emulated storage to the physical device.

How can I Have Separate Alerts for Email and SMS?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2. Currently both SMS and Email notifications have the same sound. Before I was on this phone I was on an iPhone and this was easy to change. I cannot find a way to distinguish between alerts. In browsing this site for an answer I came across this question which had this answer: > You can customize the Notification settings for both Gmail and Messaging in > each of the apps separately. > > In Gmail press menu and go to More->Settings and look at the Notification > settings section. > > In Messaging press menu then Settings and look at the Notification settings > section. I assume this answer is out-of-date because it doesn't work on the Galaxy S4. I am using the Stock Gmail App for email and I use GO SMS PRO for messaging. How do I change to separate alerts?

New e-mail notifications and user-side filters
|
Does the built-in email application create a new e-mail notification if the e-mail is moved to another folder by a filter? In particular, imagine the following scenario: 1. E-mail arrives at an Exchange server 2. The e-mail is pulled by an Android device. 3. The e-mail is pulled at the same time by a laptop running Outlook. 4. A program on the laptop magically moves the e-mail to a spam folder. Imagine that steps 3 and 4 take almost no time. Also consider that step 2 may happen after steps 3 and 4. Will the Android device create a new e-mail notification even though the e-mail is not in the Inbox?

Device revives from stanby to lock screen without a reason
|
I left my tablet home for the entire day, in standby mode and under charge. When I came back, I found the screen was on and the device was quite warm. A few nights ago, I was awaken by the brightness of the screen at 4AM (revived without apparent reason) and never managed to sleep again until I got up to shut it down completely. I understand that there _could_ be a program running with permission to prevent standby mode for the device, but since 70% of the software I installed require this permission I'm a bit confused. If I return to the desktop and put the device to sleep, why the hell should some app revive it from standby? I understand that a movie player, when **focused** , wants to avoid the device to enter standby, but I really don't get why should apps revive the device to lockscreen and **never** let it go sleep again. It only happens when I'm not in Airplane mode. Is there a way to find which application revived the screen and damn uninstall it? I have installed stock HC3.2 rooted from XDA Developers.

GPS not always working
|
I got an issue with GPS on my Sony Xperia M phone with Android 4.3, which seems to work but only intermittently. When it works the lock is acquired quickly, but sometimes it seems that sattelite searching is not even initiated.   the phone is searching for sattelites / the searching doesn't seems to be initiated (click images to enlarge) For example, above screenshots show how it looks when the phone is searching for sattelites (left), and when the searching doesn't seems to be initiated (right; notice the missing indicators from upper-left). If in the first case the lock is acquired quickly, in the second case the lock is not acquired until the GPS indicator appears on screen (sometime after minutes of waiting). Did anybody noticed this issue? Rebooting the phone helps, but only for a while.

Can dual-sim phone use one sim for voice\sms and second solely for internet access?
|
Is it possible with dual-SIM Android phone to use one SIM-card for voice and SMS but not internet access and second solely for internet access? I tried reading PDF manuals for such phones but it's a bit unclear. I'm moving abroad for work and will need to keep my current work SIM to communicate with the main office but I'd also like to use a local operator to access internet because it's going to be way too expensive to continue to use internet via my work SIM abroad. And I really don't like to carry a second phone or portable router for this. Looking at HTC One Dual sim at the moment, looks good but I never used dual-SIM phones before and have no idea how those actually work. Will it be able to function the way I need it to?

"Ok Google" voice action bugs - Reminder voice action gives me a Google search
|
Ok, so here're my issues with "Ok Google" on the Nexus 5: 1. When I say - "Ok Google" Remind me to call XYZ at Work, the reminder page does not pop up. It does a Google search. On the other hand, if I say "Ok Google" Remind me to charge phone when I reach home, the reminder page pops up. I have both my home and work addresses listed and I have no clue as to why this is happening. 2. When I say "Ok Google, Call (name)", it only dials if it's an old contact. So if I add a new contact, Google says "Please choose contact". 3. When I Say "Ok Google, note to self" it recognizes but it does not store as a note. Could any of you help me with the same, please?

HTC Incredible 4g LTE has no OS and will only boot up to bootloader... HELP?
|
I successfully rooted my _HTC Droid Incredible 4g LTE_ and everything went fine. However, when I tried to Install a new OS, it failed. I've searched the net for two days now and have downloaded both RUU exe files for Fireball, and neither of them has done anything. The phone will only start up in bootloader, and won't even boot up in recovery mode (TWRP). How can I get my device back to a workable state? This is what appears on my bootloader screen: *** TAMPERED *** *** RELOCKED *** *** Security Warning *** FIREBALL PVT SHIP S-ON RL HBOOT-1.15.0000 RADIO-1.53.06.0919 OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622 eMMC-boot Aug 1 2012, 12:05:25 Then the bootloader screen options are below.... EDIT*** To Root, I used the "Droid_Incredible_4G_LTE_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1" by Hansoon2000 My Mistake... I downloaded the Rom from: http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771773 I followed the steps from the "How to Install" section, but I quite possibly either did something out of order or just plain wrong... I know that when I tried to flash the Rom, it failed, so I attempted to run the "SuperWipe" from the site again, which also failed... Hope that helps.... :/ I apologize, I'm fairly new and inexperienced with all of this and am trying to learn, albeit the hard way apparently...
