[Q] uh oh, No Download mode :(

So after over a year of flashing, i think i bricked my phone. I cant get into download mode. Now is my second to last option is to leave the battery out for a few hours? Last option of course..sprint but i would try to try everything out first?? Thanks in advance...

Yep leave the battery out for a bit... take the sd card out also... after a bit plug your phone into the cpu with odin up and running (with the battery out) and hold down 1 and power... now slide the battery in and out continuously until you get into download mode... hope you get it...

I was in the same boat until a few minutes ago.
For me the trick was plugging to USB cable into the back ports of my desktop PC. I had tried different ports in my laptop, the front ports of my desktop, and the battery-in-battery-out thing. I also did break down and get a cable from Radio Shack. I thought I could cheat with a powered USB hub.
Now I am back to stock EC05 Froyo. Only trick is finding a place to download an EI22 or EL30 rom now that all the mega-upload sites have been taken down.
Many thanks for all the suggestions. I almost bought an Epic Touch -- which I really don't want.

I dread the day i upgrade too...im thinking touch or the nexus that sprint is getting in march i heard. The funny thing is after i unbricked my phone..i manually upgraded to el30..rooted my phone..and stopped..im actually enjoying the stock experience lol..i guess since i havent played with it in over a year...the battery life and signal is actually pretty good..i went 13 hours with 82 percent left...impressive. I love where android is going!! I do miss CM7 doe

[Q] ViciousMIUI-V4 bug or purpose?

Hey guys!
I just downloaded ViciousMIUI and installed on to my GNex, first the contacts app kept on crashing (Android.Process.Acore) but we all know how to fix that...
And then I noticied, that my on-screen controls had gone... I'm currently restoring my codename Android ROM, so I have got enough time to ask, if anyone else has had this problem with this ROM, or is it just my phone, again...
I would appreciate quick answers...

Can't have been a bad dl... I downloaded using ROM Manager....
That's why I'm asking... I always dl my ROMs using ROM Manager, or with FF... And I have never had problems before...

Don't use ROM Manager - it's ****. Download it from the ROM thread, compare the md5 and flash it yourself. Don't rely on an app

Have you tried wiping everything and installing again. Sometimes all it need is flashing again for an error free rom

It has nothing to do with being on contract. Basicly it is one if these options:
1) Bad download. This CAN happen from ROM manager also.
2) You messed up the install, you said something about messing with SystemUI so that may have been it.
3) Your phone is borked.....not likely at all.
My bet is 1 or 2.

CM10.1

Just thought id let u guys know just flashed cm10.1 from shelnut and everything but camera is working..wohoo !! efs is working perfectly ..all i have to say is you guys just wait til this is done honestly an amazing rom and just what this phone needed to be perfect!

I can't wait!

WOW! This is really happening.
I can't believe that CM 10.1 is coming. The last cyanogen mod rom I had was CM9 (LG Optimus S).
I know for sure CM10.1 is a huge update.
Can't wait

Plz tell us more. How's the smoothness and battery life? No heating issues?

It's really smooth. Much faster since there's no added junk like LG UI slowing things down. Battery life is fine, can't really comment on that since I never ran it for more than a day.
There's still a lot of work to do in terms of getting the GPS and camera. There's also some screen shadowing issues. These will take time but the devs are working on it and a doing a fantastic job.

More screenshots please?

So far issue except camera honestly everything is working super smooth and no forcloses....can't wait til the camera gets fixed cause honestly this really makes this phone come alive ...I wish the phone had came this way

When did GPS start working? Can you actually use turn by turn navigation? Last time I tested the latest, GPS still wasn't working.

Sorry my bad. The phone rings once and then force closes with a message something along the lines of app not responding, or something like that. Sorry. I've already restored a nandroid backup and I can't remember the exact wording of the error message. But yes, it was a phone process error.

[Q] Rom questions for CMDA desire

Hello, I have a US Cellular CMDA desire so I am hoping some of you guys could please suggest some good Roms for it, I have had CM7 on it for about a year now which is fine, however recently for whatever reason a lot of my apps crash constantly thus I need to perform a clean install, so since I must go through the trouble of installing a rom again anyway, I would really like to put at least ICS onto it and preferably JB but almost all roms are made for the GSM desire which is not only quite annoying but also saddens me as I cannot load a lot of the cool roms out there onto it, thus any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Although if someone could also explain the shortage of them that would be nice.. because there are a fair number of these phones..
Oh and one last thing, can you possibly make any rom into a CMDA rom? using a script or something?
sorry for the paragraph and Thanks in advance for the help.

Take a look at this

Cool, I'll try and play with this sometime tomorrow. (edit: or later today I should say..) Thanks

well I dunno... so far I've tried 3 or 4 JB roms and the most I got out of it was a boot animation and yes I waited long enough to see if it would boot I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing happened, I suppose I'll try some ICS roms before I give up though.

Ha, thats funny, because about a year ago when I was looking for roms to put on this phone that was one of the first ICS roms I remember seeing and I actually got it to run and everything, I loved it too, although for some reason I didn't keep it I'm guessing because I had even less space than with stock or it could've just broke, I would say the first one though, (Edit: actually I think it was because something like the camera didn't work but whatever) but alrighty I'll give it another go and see about installing an apps2sd+ or int2sd script.

Yea it was one of the first ROMs I used back when I was a complete noob. I remember it was pretty stable and I stayed with it for a long time, but that might've just been cause I was too scared to switch ROMs

OH YES this plus that fix you posted totally worked, really fast too it only took about 1 - 2 minutes when I started it up to boot, well this is gonna be fun!
I got a tip on that fix thread about it working with 4.2.2 and looked at what rom he had and sure enough it worked. (although before I didn't do a full wipe as I did with this as well but hey it works)

well one more thing, I'm having this weird sd card issue where it isn't mounted on my phone, but heres the weird thing, I can use in my computer fine and I was even able to use it to install the rom but booted up I can't use it (note: this also was happening before I did anything and was running the stock rom) any ideas? I have already tried reformatting it again in windows as well, its not a big deal for me as I have a couple more cards, but I prefer to not use em if I don't have to, although seems like I will.

well I tried your rom and it sorta works.... it seemed to boot but.. the screen is black so I can't use it, although I guess something is wrong with my phone anyway, as some people have used that cmda fix and had success with multiple roms yet I can only get that one to work on it so I dunno whats going on with that... oh well one is better than none I suppose. (and I'm guessing asking for bulit in cmda support would be out of the question )
This wouldn't be because of the Hboot would it? the revolutionary hboot for cmda phones, I wouldn't think so since other users have it.
