Hi all
I have been using CyanogenMod roms for a while now and everything has worked great. Yesterday I loaded an eclair 2.0 rom I found somewhere, did`nt work well at all, so went back to CyanogenMod rom however after loading the rom when it boots up for the first time it no longer goes through setup or askes for my google username and password, there is no market application showing or google mail. I have tried several of CyanogenMod roms, same on all of them I am wiping before loading new roms. Its not the roms as they have all worked well before. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Have you redownloaded signed_dream_devphone_userbug-ota-14721.zip ? I would flash that then DONT reboot then flash cyanogen's mod and then reboot. Here is the wiki you can look at its very informative http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod .
thanks for the reply, can`t seem to find a download for signed_dream_devphone_userbug-ota-14721.zip, can u point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Read the wiki, it's right there, or use google.
Maybe I am just bieng a little silly here but the links don`t seem to be working on the htc site, is there anywhere else they are available.
Thanks

Linking to HTC was part of Cyanogen's intention because you have to accept HTC's license agreement to use the software, making it the legal workaround that CyanogenMOD is
I did go to HTC site also and the only working downloads right now are the fastboot downloads. Could this be a bad thing another hurdle to cross in Cyanogen's development. A fluke, or maybe we'll be seeing a 2.0 ADP image???? I'm on pins & needles!
Found a work around to get the downloads needed,PM me if you need it.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue here. I tried to use the market and gmail app and neither are working for me. I'm quite sure that I installed each of the files in the right order, as I was following the exact instructions. But it's still not working right. I was on JF 1.5 and went to the newest CyanoMod update since JF is no longer updating his custom rom. Would it be best to go back to an earlier CM rom? Or is there a fix in the works?
by the way, I'm using
HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
and
update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip
(bumping to see if anyone might actually have a solution)
I have pretty much the same problem...
a few days ago my phone started spazzing after installing Cyanogen's 4.2.11 and there was nothing i could do except formatting my sd card and a factory reset... eventually, i got my phone back to work, but it only came with all of the default apps except for the Android Market.
So then i tried to install the HTC recovery image along with cyanogen 4.2.11.1 to see if that would fix my problem, but my market app is STILL missing. I really need my market app back -____- even though cyanogen's rom comes with slideme mobentoo marketplace, the app force closes whenever i try to open it.
can anyone help?
I am getting this goofy "Download Unsuccessful" message in my notifications tray every hour or so. I know I am not intentionally downloading anything. It drives me nuts though. Has anyone else seen this or figured out how to make it stop if you have?
Phone is rooted and I am running MoDaCo 1.1
Thank in advanced.
On a personal note, everytime I come to ask a question I get carried away on other posts and always forget to post my own questions! LOL!
I would guess it's one of two things-
There is an app in the market that is trying to download but is failing.
or
It's trying to push the 1.56 update to you but it's failing (or did you apply it already?)
Flipz, I need you in the office next to mine so I can constantly ask questions.
Well, I am running MoDaCo 1.1, which I don't think has the update packaged with it, but! I checked for Firmware updates and nothing is available.
Now as far as something downloading from the market, would it continue to retry or something if it failed?? Seems like everything I have wanted to download has worked and is installed.
Would there be a way to "Clear the queue?" if there was something that keeps trying???
you can go to marketplace/my downloads. if anything is pending it should let you know there.
otherwise i would guess its in the browser. browser/menu/more/downloads
this happened to me yesterday... well not exactly this but i started downloading an app from the market then did a nandroid restore real quick and as soon as it booted everything was messed up after that.

Market place has everything listed as installed or update available.
Browser download history is empty.
Just remembered I had Dolphin Browser installed, there was a download from 11/26 in there that had failed. I think I tried to download an exe without Crutch. We'll see if it was continuing to try and get this file.
Well guys, again thanks for the help. It seems that Dolphon Browser had a failed download being held hostage. Manually going in and clearing it out looks like it has been stoped. Wonder why it doesn't do this on its own after it warns you of its failure. Maybe I'll try and figure out who writes Dolphin and ask them.
Not sure if this somehow can help in any form of development for the Bravo but I'll post it up. Just read on Android Central that Motorola is looking for 1,000 users to test Android 2.2 for Bravo owners. It does require you to register on their forums first and then fill out a registration form. My younger brother has a Bravo so I'm going to register with his device and maybe it will somehow help some developers on here. Here is the link to the info https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47978?tstart=0
thanks for the heads up. I missed the last one.
Thanks for the notification. I'm already registered for the MFN tho, doesn't look like there's more I can do.... Hopefully I'm not missing something.
Wow this is the best news. Lets hope att doesn't delay this one like the last one. I'm all signed up so just gonna keep an eye on my email from them. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for posting. Spread the word on this, let's make sure they get all 1000 slots filled asap! More testers = better final product.

unroot
Is there a way to unroot for this phone? I'm just waiting on my notification, I'm afraid root will not allow the OTA update.
I got in! Received the email saying in a few days I'll get a download link where I can get the update. I was also wondering about unrooting.
Wouldnt the update unroot your phone for you? If we wanted we would root it again after the update.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
I have a Droid Incredible and from being in those forums I believe, and I can be wrong so don't quote me, we will still be able to update. What usually blocks the update is have Clockwork Recovery. Hopefully we can root after the update. Knowing Motorola they are probably going to patch it up. Then don't want people rooting their phones. I'm just hoping someone here can possible use this info and hopefully can port CWM for us.

2.2.1 downloaded
I got the message from motorola this morning to download 2.2.1. 15 minutes later up and running. Did a quadrant check and I'm at 1190. Much faster and a lot smoother. The best thing, I was able to move 95% of my apps to the SD card. Freed a bunch of space.

After it fails, touch the lower right corner of your screen, should show some text that might help you figure out what's going wrong.

It tells me but it shows error for /cache/Blur_Version...etc so its from their update. I see you on the MOTO forums heydabop
@heydabop the error you stating you are getting even after unrooting might be if you modified the phone to allow non-market apps. Did you leave that on? I'm trying to see if I can reverse that by going through the steps and changing the value again. Maybe that would work. I get a different error though
I get the same error message. I think it is because I have custom boot animation installed. I didn't save the original boot animation zip file like I should have. I have factory data reset and went and checked the field for non market apps and changed them back. "E: error in /cache/blur_version3.5.350.MB520.ATT.en.us.zip (status 7)". So if anyone has the original boot animation zip file they can give me I would appreciate it. You can pm me or email me. thanks

There is probably an error above the the zip error, that points to a specific file. Don't mind the zip error, it's caused by the verification error, and doesn't actually indicate a problem with the zip.

I was excited that I received a message to update my firmware to 2.2 Froyo, but when I tried doing so I kept getting errors at the installation screen. It would download then go to the installation screen and give me an error.
I'm not sure if I bricked the phone without knowing or something, but I get the following error message when trying to upgrade:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have no idea what that is/where it is. I checked my SD Card, but I didn't see anything like that there. I'm guessing I'm missing that folder/file, but I don't know where it would have went or if I can get it back.
I've tried to do the update both through my Bravo and downloading a ZIP file and trying to do it through the Recovery screen. I tried everything Motorola suggests on their website as well as searched Google a lot, but came up with nothing.
I should add that even when I click "applysdcard:update.zip" it gives me a few errors and aborts the installation.
I'm just wondering if there's any way to fix this so I can upgrade my firmware?
Thanks to anyone that can help.

Yes, I used Root Explorer. I'm guessing by MCFarmfresh's post that there issome sort of original build for the phone? I've looked everywhere for hours all night last night before resorting to asking somewhere, but I couldn't find anything and the "solutions" I've seen all did not work. I kept getting the same errors.
Thank you for replying. If you can help, it'll be very much appreciated.
I have a rooted Bravo and I deleted some of the bloatware, and I received the Froyo update and everytime I download and the system resets I get an error and the update stops. Selecting from memory card doesnt work for me, and I dont have a backup of the original settings to re-install (which I'm not sure how to do that either). If anyone has any suggestions I'm open.
its checking for att apps
if you renamed them name them back to apk
I didn't rename them, I deleted them off my phone.

OK, so I tried everything that's suggested pretty much everywhere and I'm still unable to update. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I've tried resetting the phone via the phone/recovery screen, tried updating via the phone, and I also tried replacing the original build, but nothing worked so far.
I have no idea what else I can do, but any help would be appreciated.

If nothing else works, you can always sbf. It sounds scarier than it really is, actually it is pretty easy. Just make sure you follow the directions. I've done several sbf's and they have all turned out perfectly.

Thanks. I'm not sure what it was, but I switched to my Windows XP desktop (from my Windows 7 Home 64-bit laptop) and the SBF Flash worked perfectly, thanks bandroid, yourself, and others. I really appreciate all of the help given. 2.2 looks and feels a lot better than 2.1 so I'm really happy about that.

If you will give me your email I can get it to you. For the life of me I cannot figure out hhow to attach files through pm using my phone lol. You can also use the .sbf method to upgrade but I'll definitely get the files to you if you send me your email.
SBF'in it...
Okay....so one of your gentleman above (I'm new to the forum ish) stated that he had deleted some apps off of his OS. I did the same thing with AT&T Hotspot Locator (unfortunately, AT&T was quick on merging this standalone app into MyAT&T so I couldn't get the atthotspotlocator.apk back). I fixed this using the SBF file.
I won't give you the step by step but I can tell you RSD Lite is a free program from Motorola. It's basically the program they use to flash boot SW onto an otherwise dead device.
Don't be intimidated by it because it really is rather easy to facilitate. Just do like I did and YouTube how to load an SBF into a motorola device. You can pause and replay as you go along to assure no errors. Takes like 15 minutes once you've got all the necessary files downloaded.
Well, that lasted long...
Everything was going fairly well until this morning when I clicked on the phone button (default launcher) and tried to go into the dialer, then it just closed every time I tried doing so.
To try to fix this I rebooted my phone, nothing; restored, nothing; factory reset, nothing; re-installed 2.2.1 FroYo via flashing the SBF with RSD Lite and 'apply:sdcard:update.zip' through Android's Recovery Screen, nothing.
When I tried doing the last 2, however, I received these errors (the first one I had with the first problem and the other 2 are new):
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/caller
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
Now, with the "caller" error, I did NOT touch anything having to do with the dialer and whatnot. That I know.
The last time I had problems with my laptop so I tried it on my desktop and it worked, but now I tried the desktop and it still isn't working properly. Some of the features that I had with the update are now gone such as the "third party apps" option and the sliding "lock screen" is now permanently present.
Any help with this is appreciated.
If you are having issues rooting your kindle with guides online the reason behind it is that you are using an outdated version of "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v*" Currently most of the guides all have you downloading and using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17. You want to use a version of Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v version 21 or above. I did mine with version 21 and my gf's with version 28. I just wanted to make sure that it would work with a latest i could find.
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 can be found with the link provided below. You can also google other Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v and try them out until you get your kindle rooted.
apparently i can't link outside

just copy it and paste it then backspace on the spaces to make it a usable url

hi, thanks for the above.
as a total noob to this, i sppent most of thursday researching how to do this, then carried it out eventually successfully too, only to wanke up on friday morning to see my device had updated to 7.3.1.
ive now downloaded binary v28, root with restore - how do i use this version? i used this guide -
androidforums com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/669366-idiots-guide-rooting-kindle-fire-hd-7-7-2-3-a.html
to carry out my rooting, so i now need to know how to do it using the v28 version, and if there is any differences to the process linked above.
also, i downloaded droidwall, and thought i had blocked the updating app, but it obviously hadnt. then i noticed at the top it said "firewall disabled" how do i enable this?
and finally, how do i get to change the launcher / user interface/ how can i change this to a one similar to the galaxy tab or something else like this?
yes, i am a noob, and all help is welcome guys. many thanks in advance.

Yeah the only difference is that you are using an upgraded version of program they have so instead of using v17 use newer version. I think once you install the new google play store all you have to do is find GO Launcher in the market place.

Download DroidWall from the googplaystore, that app disables updates. I don't know much about golauncher. If you follow the guide and have googleplaystore then you should be able to download everything.
I have confirmed that Bin4ry (I used v26) method works fine for both 7.3.0 and the new 7.3.1 update that is just rolling out. Here are some instructions that hopefully is clear for everyone (link). Obviously the main credit goes to the root method.
Was having trouble getting root again after my kindle went to 7.3.1. This worked for me. Thanks for the help!
Problems with attempting to root on 7.3.1
Hello-
I have used the "Root with Restore by Bin4ry_v29" to no avail and I am extremely perplexed as to whats going wrong. I have followed all the instructions outlined and during the process I do see multiple instances within the application saying "permissions denied" yet it continues as if everything is ok. Well, once it says everything is finished and I have rebooted the device multiple times, its EXTREMELY sluggish and borderline unresponsive. It also doesn't have root access as Superuser isn't on the device. So I am asking for any advice/guidance anyone can provide that maybe knows whats up or has had this happen and knows what the problem is.
Please help!
ps: Not new to rooting either as I have rooted all the android phones I have ever had with no problems but I know the Kindle is a different beast.
Thanks!
I'm on my phone so I can't post the link but if you search you'll find it, but I just rooted a new KFHD four days ago by using prokenexus how to root for noon guide. I followed it from start to finish and was completely successful. Took a total of about 45 minutes. He has two ways to root in his thread, automated and manual. I always like doing manual so I can see everything that is going on. But it worked like a charm. So might want to give that a look.

Found this article and worked.
Super slow after boot solved!
Ok even though this guide stated that if you are on version 7.2.3, you don't need to run rootqemu. Bat method, that was not true in my case. After running through the runme phase in cmnd prompt, choosing normal root, and letting the process finish and reboot, my device was ridiculously slow, and not rooted might I add. Here's the trick though, immediately after that process finishes, you need to run the Rootqemu method also. But when you try to run Rootqemu.bat by right clicking and running as administrator, it doesn't recognize the device. What I had to do was left click on ONLY the folder that contained the Rootqemu files, and while only that folder is highlighted, you hold down the shift key and right click on the folder. Then you are going to click on "run command prompt here". Once the command prompt opens, you are going to type Rootqemu.bat and press enter. Then you can press 1 to root, let the program run through its few stages, and after it reboots several times and finishes it's process, voila no more lag, and you should be finally rooted. Also after that process, download a program called Kindlefree. It's an absolutely amazing, and simple way to install all the essential Google apps "aka" Gapps to your rooted Kindle fire hd. I hope this helps everyone like it did me!

This is my first post, and I indeed have a KF HD 7. Since there is so much confusion as far as CLEAR NEWBIES INSTRUCTIONS, I've decided to give everyone the guide I used to root my Kindle, which was derived from a guide here at XDA itself. You can find it here at

This DOES indeed work for 7.3.1 as mine was, it took me two tries. But heed my warning, rooting this beauty MAY cause some issues as it has to mine such as randomly shutting off, battery showing up as 0% on some occasions when it is turned on, and sometimes refusing to charge more frequently than it used to. Those issues eventually happen without root, some people have these problems the first week of having a fresh new KFHD7, and I have friends with the same Kindle, rooted, and theirs do not present same issue, so I guess some do some don't.
Good luck and happy rooting. Now you can revive Google Play!
Another confirmation for 7.3.1. I followed Android Cowboy's procedures for both rooting and installing Google Play. Very easy. Thanks Cowboy!

If you have issues rooting, please go to my thread in my signature. I addressed the issue of rooting on 7.3.1, and have written quick explanation for rooting with Bin4ry's method. The guide goes on to help you flash a custom ROM, should you so desire to get rid of that nasty Amazon OS interface.
