[Q] Jesus Help me... seriously everything is FCing

OK background info: I am running Skyraider 2.5.2 with the Hydra Kernel #2 and 2.15 radio. That said, my phone was working fine this morning and all day really until I did this:
I hooked up my phone to my XBOX 360 so I could listen to some music on my home theater. The xbox was NOT detecting the portable drive, so I double checked it was set to 'disk drive' and I even turned of USB debugging in case that was an issue. Then my phone fades to black and suddenly I'm staring at the Unrevoked splash image. No problem, I figured. Wrong!
When it booted back up I slid over the lock screen button and the phone starts loading programs (ones that I dont normally see in the notification bar ie: startup manager) Then I'm hit with a barrage of Force Closes. Like a dozen of them. Pandora, SWype, and my beautiful widgets clock and weather are not loading on the homescreen either. I look in the apps directory and my apps2SD program is gone, just gone. It was there when I woke up this morning I do know that much.
So what the hell is going on? Does it have something to do with me plugging it into the Xbox, and why is my apps to sd program gone? Is that why a lot of prgrams are all FC. Also, Pandora was definitely on internal storage and NOT on the SD card.
I hadn't made a Nand backup in a little bit, so I can't do that.
What is the easiest way to get back to normal?
Do I have to go back to bare stock? Or can I just wipe everything and run Titanium?
Please, any suggestions would be immensely appreciated. Like I said it seems like this all happened right out of the blue.
ALso, whenj I start Astro File manger, the user agreement comes up like I've never used the program before, then it FC's and when I re-open it, it does the same thing with the user agreement even though I just f***** used it!

Have you tried fixing permissions with Rom manager first?

hard reset= wipe/factory reset?
....anybody?

Yup, factory reset and then you can use Titanium to get back to where you were the last time you backed up.

you seriously tried to connect your phone to xbox 360 through a usb port and set to disk drive...

Yeah I didn't realize that would be a bad thing. Got just about everything back to normal now. Sorry for all the caps, but I was pissed. I hate having to redo all this crappy time after time. I'm sure ill be at it again when the ota rolls out this week.
So hooking up to xbox screws up Android phones? Who knew

That's not a bad idea, I just tried it with mine, and it worked fine. The 360 can play media (Video, Audio) off any USB storage, which is exactly what the Incredible presents when set to disk mode.
Mine is stock though.

hey
just a guess, but it got messed up b/c you had apps2sd enabled. I bet if you try it w/o it enabled, it will work just fine!

I believe that my problem was stemmed from a glitch in the apps2sd app. Someone else was using it and experienced the same problem.
Beware of that app.

[Q] Wifi Tether setup

Hey every one, I rooted my phone last night and so far so good, Some gliches here and there, but thats to be expected.
What I am having problems with is setting up my WIFI Tether. I downloaded the WIFI Tether app from the market (the one with the green broadcast signal on the main screen) and I cant get it to give me access to the internet.
I am not new to "networks"... I have 2 laptops, a PS3, 2 desktops, 2 PSPs, a DS and a SONY TV - all hooked up to my secure wireless network at my house...
But this has me stumped...
I am getting limited access and no internet connection through my broser... what I am doing wrong??
I dunno what info you would need to help me, but my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite... does not have bluetooth, only wifi...
EVO is rooted with unrevoked, flashed amon ra recovery... any help would be appriciated

Download the apk, install via ADB
1st. Download apk wireless tether, latest update, make sure the first wireless tether u've installed is removed completely from Manage Applications settings.
2nd. Run ADB prompt by adb remount, adb install file_name.apk
3rd. Reboot
4th. Test it

Okay the one I down loaded from the market was the one called..."wireless tether for root" by Muller,Lemons, Buxton
So that particular one is no good?
Okay - the only issues I have with your post is the whole adb stuff...lol.... sorry, im still new to all this and Im not sure what that is... Can't i just download it and install it the regular way? just curious...and if *NOT* then can you explain adb? is it an app or some thing like that?

How did you get it to work? I just uninstalled it and was going to try and set up the other suggestion... the one he told me about looks just like the one I just uninstalled...

ADB is like a program by SDK Tools.
Hold Shift + Right click on the folder C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools
Open command prompt on that
Type 'adb devices' while your plugged in with the usb plug to your PC
If it shows a line below that like your device 'HTC#####...' Name.
Type 'adb remount', then put the file of the apk in the tools folder.
Type 'adb install file_name.apk'
and type 'adb reboot'
Your phone should reboot and have the wireless tether apk installed and working...HOPEFULLY
AND READ THE GUIDE FOR ADB ON BEGINNERS ITS USEFUL BY THE SEARCH BUTTON

That should work fine for you tonight if you got the SDK folder in your C drive.
Make sure you get command prompt on your pc using your phone in usb mode.
Make sure USB Debugging is toggled on!

yeah I will - thanks, ill post in a few hours how it all went...
This **** is really confusing...lol... I wish there were"user manuals" for all the apps out there...
I know it seems simple once you get the hang of it all, but in the beginning, it really makes me feel like an idiot...lol

easy method
download the app from the link in the post a few above this one with your phone
make sure you have a check on non market app install in settings, applications
drop down the notification bar and touch the apk that was downloaded
it should install
done

Thanks for the input ZJ, how ever - I have already "installed" it twice, Getting it to install is not the problem at all.
The problem is getting it to work correctly. Any help on how to get it to connect to my laptop with out limited connectivity?? It works, it connects to the laptop, but it keeps saying limited connectivity... I cant actually get on the internet - say thru a browser or what ever...
I don't really think I need to go through adb to get it to work, cause it actually installs and works fine, as far as broadcasting wifi and being found by my laptop.
My computer recognizes it and every thing...when I connect to it though - It just says "connected with limited connectivity"
any help on this would be great... maybe the configurations every one is useing to get it to work?
There are several setting and what not and I guess cause I dont have a "user manual" its gonna take me messing around with the config to ...um fig...ure it out :/
::Frustrated::

When mine does that I go into settings, wireless, mobile data settings, uncheck all but top and always on, set provider(system?) to automatic. open a browser and surf or google maps, just to get the connection going and data transfers started, then open a webpage on laptop and it usually works, after it connects that first time then every time it just works, that first hump of connection is tough

In my opinion, JayStation3, I think you would like wireless tether built already into the Froyo ROMs we have here from XDA developers, maybe that can save your time a bit. Just a thought.
You can flash a new rom with wireless tether and a new kernel to make your phone ready to use. Just a thought once again, can't help you much a bit because I already am using it and it works fine.

Ok, here is a stupid question... Do I have to have to have "wifi" in the phone setting turned on when I use the tether app? I just assumed that the tether app turned it on automatically... I guess I could try it real quick to answer my question...

okay, that must have been it. I turned on my WIFI in phone settings and... well its working now... I figured that it used data connection like 3G and 4G...but i do have wifi here at my house - So I guess Im still kind of confused... Cause essentially - if I have wifi turn on through my phone - its like my phone is just acting like an access point, which would be pointless if I was trying to use my phone as a hotspot in my car or on a plane or some thing... Ill try it again tomorrow at my office where there is no wifi and see what happens. In the mean time Im gonna continue reading as much as I can here on all this stuff...
I do wanna try flashing another ROM here soon, I just want to learn as much about all this as I can. Im still kind of confused about flashing and restoring and making sure I have all my back up done right and what not... I look forward to trying out some of the awesome ROMs I have read and seen on the forums... but I want to be able to go back to the froyo2.2 incase I dont find any thing I really like...

problems connecting to pc via usb

i have 4 micro usb cables and ive used numerous computers. operating systems from mac, vista and windows 7 my evo just will not connect to anything. this is very frustrating. ive used usb debugging and disk drive, nothing works. any help please.

Do other things work in those USB drivers?
Assuming they do, how long do you wait before you decide it's "Not connecting?" It usually takes my phone a good 30 seconds before it shows up on my computer

i used my moms phone(samsung sync) and that read. i did a reset yesterday and that also didnt work.

Try installing HTC Sync...Maybe you don't have the drivers installed?
If that doesn't work I think you may have to contact Sprint

Sorry, I couldn't help more, that really sucks
Are you rooted?

Did I brick it for real????

I took my phone into the sprint store this evening because the usb port was starting to act up. The tech resoldered the connections and the phone started charging the way it was supposed to again. I had flashed FC09 modem, MTD stock deodexed and Marcusants nyan kernel that shows FC09 as the baseband. I did this of course so the tech could run his diagnostics and it wouldn't look out of the ordinary. The tech I worked with already knows I root and even remembered me from my last USB port replacement but that's another interesting story in of itself.
Anyway, when I got home I set about setting it back to my previous set-up. At this point my battery meter showed 70% before I restated into CWM. I started the restore proccess from CWM and put the phone in my pocket without even thinking since I had some work to do. I pulled the phone out about an hour later when I remembered it only to find a black screen. The phone had died somewhere in that hour or so. I thought it was no big deal and I would just charge it and all would be good. I connected it to the charger and got no lights of any sort and no reaction. I tried 4 different chargers all of which work perfectly with other phones in the house to no avail.
I then tried to hook it up to my computer and got no response when attempting to reach download mode with the only 2 data cables I have; one is a radioshak and the other is the stock sammy cable. I took the battery and SD out and let it sit for about an hour. I hooked the phone back up to the cable with no battery and attempted download mode with no response. I'm at a loss as for what to do now.
I can't get to download mode and I can't take it back to the sprint store because the guy I'm sure will just blame me for rooting my phone and messing with it.
Now what??????? Could I have actually bicked it with a CWM restore that maybe died in the middle? Or could he have ****ed up my USB port for data and now im screwed on Odin.
Edit: I forgot to add the tech did what he said was a full diagnostic on it before I left and he said it passed with flying colors.

There are a large amount of threads on restore a brick in the QA forum. Try using search terms like: "hard brick" to locate them. There are good posts in them that may be of assistance. I can't recall much of the info from memory, hence my search suggestion.
Next time you go to do anything in recovery, don't have anything planned for that 3-15mins. That phone should have been burning up your pocket with the restore and screen on the entire time. I'm not sure how you didn't notice it, lol.

Maybe the battery is dead and the port stopped working again, try a charged battery

As far as I'm concerned this HAD to have been the problem. As you can see in OP I did most of the things listed in the brick threads along with the stickies.
I talked to someone on IRC about the possibility of making a download jig but my soldering person (my old man) wasn't available in time.
Sooooo. I took it back to the sprint store and simply did another TEP claim and had absolutely no troubles. In fact the guy apologized to me and said he's still getting better at his soldering skills. Not the first time I have had a USB port charge but give no data access after being soldered by them.
The batterry is fine and is sitting in the refurb epic I just got back today.
Now I have a new problem. I'm trying to root the new epic and am having trouble getting it recognized in Win 7 Pro X64. I d/l the latest drivers from thier website and have tried multiple different ways of install/uninstall including specifically giving it Admin priveleges. I have also tried unistalling drivers and installing keis using same method with same nogo.
After fiddling with SamSucks software I uninstalled all of it and d/l Heimdall.
I followed the directions in the readme.txt to install drivers and all it could find was unknown USB device which it couldn't install drivers for.
All install and uninstalls were done with restarts and ccleaner in between to make sure of complete deletion.
Could I have gotten another bad data port phone that only charges?

The only way that works every time for me is to turn on USB debugging, uminstall all drivers from the computer and then allow Windows update to search for drivers....can take like 30 minutes sometimes to get all that are needed but it always works for me.

Now It seems like I'm not getting any data connection at all between the phone and computer. I'm on my third USB cord and I can't even get the phone to ask about mounting the SD card to transfer data to the computer. This just seems odd from a straight from Sprint refurb.
Edit: To make things even weirder I just hooked up my wife's Samsung feature phone and it gets recognized almost instantly.

By doing this I'm assuming you mean go into the device manager, selecting update driver, then Search automatically for updated driver software. Is this what you mean? I had tried this without USB debugging before your suggestion and got no dice. I just tried it with USB debugging and still no dice. Though it didn't take very long to fail so I could be doing something wrong.

No. Choose uninstall driver. Then if it fails try a different port. If it is a desktop computer then only use the ports in the rear.

This is exactly what I have been doing. I have tried all 6 ports on the back with nothing plugged in and all 3 ports on my netbook. The odd part to me is no matter what port on what computer I plug into, the phone does not seem to recognize it is plugged into a usb port.

If you tried a total of 9 different ports then it sounds like a hardware issue on the Epic again.

I took the phone back to the sprint store thus evening and the tech had all the same problems I did. He tried several cords and ports to no avail. He ordered me another epic.
Its hard to believe they let these things out of the factory in such poor shape.
Here's to hoping I get a good one this time. *fingers crossed. I'm already so tired of stock rom, I miss my CM7.

Guess ya never know lol. Good luck on the next one.

OMG I think I'm going to go nuts. I brought my fourth epic home last night and proceeded to odin CWM. Everything went perfect, or so I thought, as it said it passed. Now the damn thing is completely unresponsive and none of the tricks to get it into d/l mode work. How is this even possible. They did a battery of tests on it before I left the store and it passed. I didn't think Odin had the capability to mess up the phone this much. Any ideas on wth is going on are welcome at this point.

How old is your computer? Maybe its not sending all the data and maybe just a portion of it

I'd have to agree with phonehunter59 on this one. It sounds like something is going wrong on the computer's end of things or maybe Odin.

It could also be the version of odin you are on, maybe it's too old

Will I'm not sure what exactly went wrong but I did get into download mode finally. I used the old voodoo "magic button" coupled with pressing the power button. I was then able to enter download mode and flash. I think the problem this time was bad settings in Odin. I only unchecked restart and not everything else. As soon as I unchecked everything I was able to successfully flash CWM.
As for my computer, it's a QX6850 sitting on a 680i. About 6 or 7 years old or so, but it still gets the job done pretty good. OS is 64 bit windows 7. I used the version of Odin found in Kenny's rooting sticky in general.

LGOG will charge but computer wont recognize it???

woke up this morning to something weird. I have the appradio 2 which i use a mhl cord to connect to it. plugged it in like any other day and it wouldnt work. thought maybe it was a bad connection to radio but it wasnt. so i took it inside to plug into tv and nothing. so i plugged it into computer to see if it would connect and nothing. weird thing is, it charges but no connection to pc or anything. ive uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and nothing works. any help would be greatly appreciated.

get rid of windows and get ubuntu

See if this helps:
1. Toggle USB Debugging (Settings > Developer Options [Under System])
2. Power the phone off.
3. Power the phone on.
4. Toggle USB Debugging.
5. Connect to PC.

Thanks for the response but that didnt seem to help.
I'm curious if its a hardware issue or something else. I've restored a backup i had to see if that helped but nothing. If i return to stock unrooted will that help? Or does someone have an idea as to why and how to fix this? Thanks for any help.

No idea. I did some searches for something like "android stuck usb charge only" and came up with the below. Some folks said that they were able to fix it, though not permanently, by wiping. The above seemed to work for some, though again, not permanently. I wasn't able to find anything else.
Did you try connecting to other PC's?
Did you try removing the device from your PC's device manager, uninstall the driver, then reinstall the driver and reconnect?
I agree it seems hardware'ish because it's also a problem with the MHL cord, too. I wish I could help more, but there's not much out there about being stuck in charge only mode.
Are you still under Manufacterer's warranty? Maybe that can be returned because it won't mount.?

No idea. I did some searches for something like "android stuck usb charge only" and came up with the below. Some folks said that they were able to fix it, though not permanently, by wiping. The above seemed to work for some, though again, not permanently. I wasn't able to find anything else.

Dont have another PC so that option cant be tested now. I removed the device and unistalled/reinstalled drivers and nothing.
Warranty is not an option because its past due. I do have insurance but am afraid of not getting an OG in return and i dont know how all that works to be honest.
I am willing to return to stock but only one concern i have is losing all my data. How do i backup pics and documents without being able to connect to pc? PLEASE can someone show me the way. Thanks again for all responses.

I'm using the original USB cable.
Now I'm using LGNPST but i cant get it to recognize my phone. IDK what else to do.

Have you tried different drivers yet? There's 3 of them here.

Let's hope this'll work for you.

I started having this problem after installing the latest LG drivers. Replicated the issue on 3 different Windows 7 PCs. 1 32-bit home-built, 1 64-bit Gateway laptop with OEM image, 1 64-bit HP Laptop with work image.
Before upgrading, phone connects fine with in both MTP & PTP modes just using built-in (or pulled from WU) drivers. After upgrading to LG drivers, PC no longer detects the phone. Uninstalling the drivers or going backwards to earlier versions does not fix the problem.

Again,thanks to everyone for their responses, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately nothing seems to be helping my issue. I'm going by my wife's job to hook up to her computer to see if hers can recognize my phone, well at least I hope.
One thing I ask of someone, I've been using Arliberator to connect to my radio. Maybe someone has more knowledge than me to help.

Anyways, it has an option under settings to "fix drivers" which I have no idea what it does so i never messed with it. Except for when it wouldnt connect to the radio, I pressed it. Could that have anything to do with it not connecting to pc? I've emailed the dev of this app but have gotten no response as to what it does.
I'm really at a loss here as I can still use my phone but not to its full potential. Its frustrating because I cant even return to stock to see if it will fix my issue. Is there any other way to return to stock without a pc? Like can i flash a stock RUU? I ask because I once had an Evo 4g and was able to do it that way.
Again, thanks to everyone's responses.

I finally heard from the dev of ARLiberator and he guarantees me his app has nothing to do with my phone and that the "fix drivers" is for the app only. He says to try and reset my phone to try and solve my issue. But wouldn't that completely erase my phone?
Idk how I got here...

Thanks but that didnt help either. Idk what else to do. I dont understand how it can still charge but not be recognized by my pc or mhl cord doesnt show up. Weird thing is when I do plug up the MHL phone recognizes it and the mirroring, idk what its called exactly pops up but doesnt show up on TV.
What to do...what to do...

Your charging port may have broken a connector. Happened to my last phone. Charges fine but the computer connector won't work. Replacement needed bud.

If this is the case will sprint replace it even if I am rooted? I have the insurance but have been hesitant to take it for that reason.
