Serious Problem.. PLEASE HELP!
so heres the story...
ive been flashing roms onto my tilt for about a month now... modding it and all that good stuff.. but i made a stupid rookie mistake..
so i was in a rush earlier today to get to work and i wanted to try phoenixs new rom... thinkin i covered all the bases...
i left the sim card in my phone when i flash his rom...
now my phone wont read my sim card... it still works and all..
but it just wont read the card and i cant connect to att..
i have another att phone wich i put my sim in.. and it works perfectly.
its just the tilt wont read it at all..
so do i have a shinny new building block? or is there a file or steps i could just install to fix..
i tried flashing differnet roms.. tried doing the cid/sim unlocker, tried searching..
but nothing..
please.. any help or answers would be greatly appreciated..
WHAT DO I DO???
Thank you..

Which ROM? I wasn't aware we had a chef named Phoenix.
I handle PR for a ROM called Phoenix, and this question should be in that thread IF you think it's a problem with that ROM specifically.
aka READ JIMMY'S RULES AT THE TOP OF THE FORUM.
that being said. I flash with the SIM in all the time, so I'm not exactly sure what you have done to your device.
Try a different Radio ROM, not a full ROM, a RADIO ROM.

Kinda makes me think he got it sorted? Yeah you spot on Burns should be in the correct thread

Either that or he's going to seek advice in the actual proper thread.
Now, the guessing game, either Dave or Kareem, I don't see Jimmy or NATF around too horrbily much anymore, though they're still here... hmmm...
Speaking of mods, you know who i haven't seen in a while? ATW.
Hmm...

I flash every new rom made and I have never taken out my sim card when i flash a rom. You need to post your question in the thread that you got the rom from.

The market place is not working for a lot of people. It may not be an issue with the apps2sd. There is no ETA and no response from Google or T-Mobile yet.

The rom gives you the ability to send your apps to the sdcard. It doesn't automatically do it for you. Look for the thread titled haykuro rom apps to sd card how to, or something like that. Noone has replied because you started a new thread to get info that is readily available in numerous other threads. I'm not on my computer right now or I could give u more info and links. Just read through that thread, follow the how to, and ask questions in the appropriate places and people will be happy to answer. Good luck.

well i followed the instuctions but everything is installed on sd so far still lose memory i dont getthat part

need dev help badly

I posted in another forum but I hoped maybe a dev could figure it out
I screwed up big time. I got my nexus s 4g and unlocked and rooted. all was going well and I went the custom rom route and used rom manager to do so. It was g found out after my radio didnt work. I tried to flash back to stock and it did. I found out it was gsm stock and I am a f#cking moron, so I'm stuck on stock, unrooted, no radio and no computer can it now, not the samsung prog, odin, or adb. the usb on pc will charge, but not push data, please can anyone help.
update: I have an epic, could I download the singed rstock rom, rename it update.zip, bluetooth it to the nexus and apply with stock recovery?

Have you tried reinstalling Samsung device drivers? Are you navigating to sdk/tools when you try adb?

This is not a development related topic. Things like this belong in q&a.

i have installed the drivers, and i have it set to cmd from anywhere. The computer cant see it at all

You flashed another phones radio, then propose to flash yet another phones rom to fix it... Dude.. Stop flashing and go read. A lot..

I have read, right now I am trying to get to stock on my nexus s 4g. I have no way to get files on it, since the usb will no longer transfer data. Thats the problem, I know I scewed up, I want to fix it is the thing

Post this in q&a. Dev is for dev. Unless you are writing code you shouldnt be making new threads here.
You will get help, just address it in the right forum.

Does wifi work? If yes try downloading a rom for your device from your phone directly and flash it within clockwork apk.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

when i flashed the bad stock file it when back to stock recovery

the reason I asked in dev I was wondering it there A, another way to get the usb to work? it wont display even in device manager. or B isthere a way to falsh the correct radio as a signed update.zip?

It needs to be in q&a. Nothing about this thread relates to development. Quit posting, let this die, and ask in q&a. You will get help. You need to read. You need to follow the forum rules and general forum etiquette. If you cannot do that, please leave xda, and go to another forum.

i 100% agree with you that this thread should be closed. but come on now dude, no need to be harsh on the guy. his head is probably all over the place now that the phone is not working let's just understand him.
to OP:
here was a similar thread and a similar problem to yours. apparently the guy could enable USB through clockworkmod recovery and flash a rom for his device.
as i understand you have stock recovery. what you should do is try to install clockwork (through fastboot) and enable usb from there.
N.B after flashing clockwork recovery thrpugh fastboot, do not reboot your phone. just enter recovery directly through bootloader.

thanks for the help but mine cant be seen in fastboot, either. sorry for posting the wrong thread, I just thought a dev may have a flashable radio or a different usb trick

I was nice to begin with. But you also need to quit feeding him. He will keep posting in this thread and not make another one in q&a as long as you keep helping him. He keeps posting, you keep posting. I have no understanding for people not following the rules. They are there to keep xda clean and foster development. If people are going to ignore them, then they need to leave.

oh come on!! the guy needs help...definitely its a wrong thread in a wrong section..but just help him out...i would suggest him to try fastboot on another computer or so..install fresh drivers and a fresh sdk ..and then try out dude...and it would be much better if u really post your queries on to Q & A section....people will surely help

Jesus Christ give the dude a break. Hes just lookin for some help. Who cares if he made a thread in the wrong place, i dont see how that affects anyone especially the wannabe mods. OP hope u get ur phone workin again, id help u if i could

The only way i know of getting an update.zip/recovery/image over myself is fastboot, (ie: fastboot flash image, fasboot boot) ...without that working i am unsure how to fix your problem.
Regarding the flame wars over the wrong section posting, surely keepign this ontopic and free from gripes until a mod moves it is the best way? (over reacting wierdo's )

take it easy, u might hurt ur self

ok its not quite in the right place, but no need to bite his head off.
anyway, in answer to your question, the way i removed the branding from my vodafone DS was this
http://revolutionary.io/ download this tool and follow its instructions, this will root your phone and give you a recovery tool that will allow you to flash a new ROM onto your phone.
With the phone rooted, you will be able to back up your data using an app from the market. Titanium Backup is the usual favorite.
EDIT : may be wrong about it providing root, I personally skipped the backup step as I had no data to lose, but if that is the case there are guides in the forums for obtaining root access
next look through this forum to find a ROM that suits your needs, from the sound of things you want the stock one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029 should suit you.
download the zip file and transfer it to your SD card.
next you need to reboot into your recovery mode by turning the phone off, then hold the vol down button and power button together and selecting recovery from the menu
finally use the volume buttons to select install zip from SD card, and point it at your downloaded rom. it may take a few mins so allow it to finish then select reboot phone.
again this first boot may take a little time, but once its up you should have a debranded ROM as if you had just bought the phone new.
Add the details for your google account and redownload your backup app so you can restore your data and you are good to go

thank you very much for your help,
I shall give it a try,
by the way, will be able to install official updates on it, or will I have to stick with custom ROMs for ever?
thanks again

Nooo, not forever. Just until you get a new device
But seriously: Custom roms don't work with official updates. The trick is that most of the custom rom developers provide their own flashable updates for their roms. The difference is in the way you perform the update. There are even fairly developed custom roms, like MIUI, which have their own over-the-air updates (actually more often than official updates are coming.)
EDIT: In fact, you can switch back to a stock rom anytime and get the official updates back.

OK, I understand... but how do I get the official stock rom?, and by stock that means it has no Orange apps at all right ?

Once unlocked, i.e. rooted, you can use titanium backup or a root file explorer to uninstall the apps you don't need from the rom you are running atm.

Well, again: read around the forum a little, please. There is a sticky thread right on the top of the development section, called ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT etc. It's a must read for newcomers. Very useful thread. There you find a link to a collection of stock roms. These are distributed as .exe files, so you can run them in windows and a simple-to-use installer will pop up and help you with pushing the stock rom to your phone. It is advisable that you double check that you are flashing the rom you really want. Someone here will help you to choose the right one.
EDIT: By the way in the general section (where we are now with this thread) there is also a very useful sticky. It's called Guide for Newcomers to Android. Seriously, it's a good read, given that you own an Android phone...

OK man, I will do that, thanks for the tips

Thanks chris5s, Ill definitely give it a shot.

This tool would help to get rid of the annoying Orange splash screen, and other useless apps could be removed as stated before.
Of course, best way is to install generic HTC European rom or custom rom of your choice.
Aforementioned tool would also help install roms, radios, etc, of your choice.
Good luck
Peace
Edit: sorry, Android flasher won't help install roms, but will help with installing custom recovery - Ext4 or Clockwork Mod - essential in s-off/rooted flashing.

[Q] Is downgrading possible?

Greetings to whoever is reading this!
I recently got a HTC HD2 phone with JellyBean 4.2 or 4.3 installed, I'm not sure. But I've been having memory problems with the phone. Whenever I install too many apps, the internal memory of the phone goes low and I can't install anything. I used Link2SD to transfer the apps to the SD card (and yes, I partioned it correctly I think) but I still get the memory low warning.
My question is: Is it possible to downgrade from JellyBean to Android 2.3 version?
I think I screwed up a little, because while having the JellyBean still installed, I installed something else over it trying to downgrade. But that's not causing any problems so far.
I'm quite a noob when it comes to android so please bear with me. Is it possible to delete everything that is installed on this phone, and start installing Android 2.3 from the beginning? If yes, then can you please tell me step-by-step how it is done, or if there is any guide that I missed, can you point me to it?
Thank you very much!

@classic20 - You should be able to retrograde to Gingerbread in the same manner you would upgrade the phone. Also, navigate to the HTC HD2 portion of XDA, you may have better luck if you do some digging there.

Haha, I know how to search with the keyboard. When I said I am a noob, I meant on this forum and about Android in general, not the computers
Anyway, I wiped my phone with the help of a friend and installed Gingerbread 2.3 or something like that.
But, I would really like to thank you for taking the time to reply.
