Gbread .588 Home Screen

What should the home screen of the .588 Gbread leak look like? I followed all the proper instuctions, but now I have two contacts icons on the dock, which I dont think should be.
Second everytime I reboot it goes back into the bootloader, and doesnt just reboot? Can I fix this?

The bootloader thing is no good... u most likely need to reflash (or upgrade to .591). As far as the gb (blur) launcher goes, you have icon for phone, and an icon for contacts, and those icons are replaceable, just drag whatever app you want on there to it, same as other launchers

I reflashed back to stock Froyo but everytime I connect my DX to my PC it goes straight to the bootloader. Has anyone got a fix for this?
Thanks,
Steve

Is it booting into the bootloader or clockwork?

Right into the bootloader. This is only when the DX is connected to the PC.

Here's a thought: quit rebooting while connected to computer lol ... is there a reason it has to be connected??

Well if I want to transfer data from the PC to the phone I have to have it connected. Thanks for the advice though.

Gingerbread makes you reboot to change the state of the USB connection? It doesn't have a pull down you can change it in?

All,
Sorry if I have not been clear on this. Originally I thought this was a Gbread issue, but its also happening with stock Froyo.
So I just flashed stock Froyo 340 back to my DX. At the end of the SBF flash it tells you its going to reboot the device, and finishes with a PASS. The problem is that it reboots right back into the bootloader. Is this normal behavior? I would think the reboot would take it back to the OS itself. This behavior happens when connected to the PC via USB, and I do a normal reboot. I end right back at the bootloader. If I disconnect the DX from the PC and then reboot I do end up in the OS as though normal.
Has anyone seen this, and if so how do I rectify this? I do want to be able to connect my DX to my PC for file transfers, etc.
Thanks,
Steve

[Q] Ensuring my Droid 2 is Un-Rooted?

I need to send my D2 back to Verizon for a replacement (Keyboard isn't registering presses, double letters, etc.)
I had rooted my D2 originally.
I have pushed the stock SFB to the Phone (Which did not wipe out my apps/settings?)
I then ran Root Checker which returned False, and indicated the folders + files did not exist.
I then did a System Reset, and went back to square one. I re-activated the phone (Did not add any accounts though).
Is there anything else I should do before sending it back to Verizon?
Thanks!
Edit:
On a similar note, What's the difference between an Oxidized and Deoxidzed SBF? Same with System-Only and Full.
(I pushed the Full SBF to the phone, but I'm curious what the other ones are)

It didn't delete your apps or data? Interesting. You should have gone into a bootloop after the SBF, requiring you to go into the stock recovery to format system/cache....
As far as odex and deodex'd. Stock ROM's have odex files for every system app installed on the phone. Supposedly they are supposed to help speed up the startup time of the phone.
Deodex'd is obviously when the odex files have been removed, usually to save room in /system and also to allow themeing.
Full SBF includes EVERYTHING the phone came with (ROM, Kernel, Bootloader, Radio, etc.)
System only SBF is only the operating system. You would use this if your not worried about going back to complete stock, and just need to reload the OS.
Hope this has helped!

That's what I thought @ Still had data.
(Unless this process requires an SD card to work, I don't have one in my phone because it's dead )
I flashed it twice, once with the phone on and connected via RSD Lite 4.8, I just selected the phone there, picked the SBF and hit start... It restarted the phone into some boot-loader like menu, said it was recieved a SW Update, restarted itself and... nothing change.
So then I did it again but started it in the boot-loader like menu to no difference, so I just did a factory reset.
Thanks @ Explanation though!

You should be good. Just make sure your system version is 2.3.20 (I think that's the latest version, haven't had a d2 for a while). Make sure your boot logo and boot animation are stock, and that you don't have superuser install.

They are indeed stock.
I took my D2 into the store today to see what they had to say, I have no idea if this is truthful or if the guy was just making it up to sound smart (Never can be sure after listening to other people talk about your own field )
Said that the missed keypresses + double repeats I was getting was from the phone having overheated at some point, and the keyboard is coming away from the keys a bit (The rubber mat is 'bubbled' a bit in some spots) were indicators of overheating too.
No idea if this is true or not, but he said warrenty should cover it and I just have to call into Verizon so I'll do that.

I'd have to say the phone would have had to get pretty damned hot to do that, but who knows. As long as warrenty will cover it its all good.

I agree... The previous owner might have left it in the sun or something... Did that with my DS, turned itself off but it was fine in the end.
Gonna call Verizon tomorrow, too late now. Thanks for the help!
I'm still curious as to why the full-sbf didn't factory reset it though.

is Root Checker an app?

Yes. It attempts to do something that requires Root to do. If it fails, it tells you. It then checks if the superuser app exists and if the folders for root exist.

I have the same problem with double entries on the physical keyboard. I've had my phone for a year and I'm pretty sure I have never had an overheat (and definitely have never left my phone out in the sun). I attributed this to CM7 nightlies, but now I doubt that.
Anyone else have this problem?

[Q] Phone Boot problem, won't mound SD

Sorry about the post as this may not be the best place for it.
My phone got low on memory so was trying to clear stuff, it rebooted then on the loading screen (Myn RLS 5) perpetually restarted. So went into recovery
and tried to do a backup (so could format as my last backup was old) and it threw an error in mid -backup (did write it down, doh!!)
Now the phone does the 5 vibration thing and does boot. Also SD won't mount get " /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" error. Also I now notice the phone reset to "S-on" I had a long time ago rooted with unRevoked Forever.
I have read several posts about this , but confused on the best way (instructions) to get a img file on and reinstalled. I have used adb before but only basically , unfortunately my computer at work doesn't have adb installed so cannot test things now.
So if anyone has a good one or two methods for me to try tonight, would be much appreciated. Also totally surprised that security went to "on" so probably have to address that first.
Oh phone is EVO, HBOOT 0.93 , Radio 2.15.00.05.02 . If I should post this somewhere please feel free to direct me there.
EDIT: I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.6.01 installed and can get into it.
Thanks so much.
Kevin

First I woud try the sd card fix found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243&highlight=sd+card+won't+mount Then I would downgrade your radio to 2.15.00.11.19 using a flashable pc36.img file.All radio versions can be found in the development section.If the first 2 steps are successful,run a 3.70 ruu(can also be found in development).If that is successful,reroot using unrevoked forever and you should be good to go.I' not sure if the radio downgrade will work with s-on,but I think if you use the flashable pc36.img version it will go thru,if it doesn't,you can still try the 3.70 ruu.I ran into some incompatability issues with trying to run the 2.15.00.5.02 radio with older software and hboot versions.

@BrianBusby2038,
Thanks for the post, good information I will give it a try. Interestingly the phone did eventually boot into Myn for a few minutes before the 5 vibrations of death started again.
So looked and it def. doesn't see the SD. So hopefully can recover.
I am wondering if the AData SD card I have is not reliable. Thankfully have the original 8GB card so hopefully can get things going again.
Anybody have a good recommendation for a 16GB microSD that is fast (buying from Newegg) ?
thanks again

No problem,hope it works out ok.

I had this same problem a few days ago and I had to get a replacement ordered (a 2.3 preloaded replacement ). Make sure that your USB is still working, because both my SD card and USB stopped working, S-ON went on, and the five vibrations/green light shut down problem happened. I was able to get S-Card operational, but USB was no go. I could not log in as super user and could not enter the commands necessary to fix usb. No USB = No root = no fix for USB. Now I'm stuck with a 2.3 evo, at least its shiny and new .
Hope you fix yours, I wonder how this problem has happened to so many of us randomly. PS: when you take it to sprint store, don't complicate matters and revert to stock.

Crude, fastboot on PC throwing driver error, how do I tell if the right driver is installed.
This is really sucking, Ive only ever installed one driver and could connect with adb.
So not sure what to do.
EDIT: says can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing

@robertsaurus,
not sure how I could go to stock if I cant re-image. Yeah definitely don't want to make a fuss, ugh

I lost clockwork mod and ended up only being able to access default Android recovery menu. I think an option on there will restore the factory Rom and make it look like it was never rooted. I know people have been able to fix theirs but I gave up after a days worth of trying
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well I had partial success. I restored a signed Sprint Rom, but phone keeps rebooting and USB doesn't work. the 5 vibrations seemed to have gone away. Though since I can get usb to work I can't do a RUU install and remove clockwork.
I did talk to Sprint and they are willing to early upgrade me and buy the EVO back for 125 so long as it boots and it does .
So going to give that a whirl , I have 30 days so may give a few other things on the evo a try before I return. Doing the upgrade I just lose out on some of the rooting so we'll see how that impacts me.

I had the exact issue. I think if you do a wipe from the boot menu (power and vol down) it will get rid of it all. And then take it to sprint and play dumb . Worked for me, new shiny evo lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

yeah I played dumb, but since it was out of warranty 1month and 10 days. they wouldn't replace . But at least get upgrade and buy back on the EVO which is not bad.
Though I am over the next couple of days try and get the EVO rescued, so long its still bootable I can take advantage of the buyback

Interestingly I could get the 5 vibrations thing to go away if I applied unrevoked forever s-on. the phone will still reboot and usb not functioning yet. Going to try and get a shell script running to fix usb , or try and do a re-rooting via the auto root, maybe hboot usb will work (fastboot did)
I did get the photon (we'll see how it works, though miss my rooting and evo)
so if like hopefully they will unlock the bootloader.

Power button getting hot

Since I installed Aura 1.2.1.0 on my phone the power button has been getting really hot. I just installed Homebase v5 and its still the same thing. So im thinking its not the rom. Any ideas?

That's odd. The bottom of my phone gets hot, but not the power button. If you're on att or even if youre not, I suggest trying to get a warranty replacement.

someone here said they fixed it by doing a factory reset; i suggest wiping EVERYTHING through fastboot, then clearing data/cache/dalvik in CWM and then reinstalling a stock ROM (fruitcake for example)

I did a clear data, cache, and dalvik wipe. What would be the difference in doing a fastboot wipe?

replace it
replace it b4 your warranty is out. my power button failed. and to many of these scripts require the power button to select options

Odd this happened to a homebase mega build I set my old man up with just last week did a back factory wipe then restored data and no problems so far, I though he left it in the car or sun or something when he said it was the finger print/power button. Even sat down and checked it out couldn't reproduce the problem or guess what happened no fp profile was even set active so. As mentioned above when in doubt replace they just upped the insure deductable x.x the 1st of this month

I got this once
removed the battery and reboot the device .. problem solved

I've rebooted, pulled the battery, got it working off the power cable (doesn't get hot then). Theres a warrant service place by work so ill revert it back to stock and just get it replaced.

I've had random moments when the phone felt like it was heating up towards the bottom, especially using the HKTW 2.3.4 build, but never on the power switch. I'd suggest just get a warranty exchange to be on the safe side. Better replace it now than when your warranty is over.

I know im gonna get flamed but how do I go back to the stock rom? Do I flash fruitycakes or sbf? I've read the threads on reverting back but their didn't seem to be any consistency.

fruit cake is the safest way to go back to stock. you can also flash the 2.3.4 gingerbread sbf file with rsd lite, but do NOT attempt to flash back to Froyo if you ever did the Gingerbread OTA update. if you're not sure, then just be safe and never revert back to Froyo.
flashing the gingerbread sbf file with remove your unlocked text on bootloader and revert you to a pure stock state.

So I took it to the warranty repair center and they replaced it no problem. Said shes seen it happen a few times already.

Am I Soft Bricked?

Long story so please bear with me. I have a Sprint I9505. I had installed a rom which made me lose mobile data and I eventually called Sprint to help me restore it. I of course did not mention that They did a great job of helping me but one of the things that they made me do was a hard reset. I did so and went about going through the process of re-configuring my phone but it will not let me get past the wi-fi set-up screen because the wi-fi will not turn on. So that's where I am stuck. I rebooted into recovery mode and see that I still have CMW installed but it will not read my external 64g card nor will it let me mount it. My intent was to restore a nandroid back-up that I had made prior to installing the rom that gave me the issues. But no luck. I have my phone next to me and although it is not going past the wifi set up screen, I still hear my phone vibrate and the screen turns on so I assume that I'm still receiving notifications. I tried to install the I9505 firmware and go back to stock but it fails everytime with about 10 percent to go. I tried to download the firmware for Sprint but it gives me a download error after completion (I assume that it is a PC issue not a firmware issue). So I'm assuming that I'm not totally screwed since I can still get into recovery mode. I'm in a bit of a time crunch since I'm going out of the country Saturday and would like a working phone before then. Thanks to all of you in advance for any help that you can provide.

Thanks, I'm the process of downloading the Sprint firmware from a different link from my previous one to see if that works or if it's my PC.

Sigh most wifi and data issues from roms come from a kernel issue never hard reset with faulty connections you should of imediately went into recovery and flashed the nandroid some roms arent out of the oven yet i would put that card in a card reader see if you can copy the nandroid and push it to the phones internal storage (if all possible) and see if it will boot off of that if not see if you can get the ruu
