I have an enTourage eDGe Dualbook that currently runs on Android 1.6.
I was wondering if the Android developers here have any insight into how to make applications that would apply to this device? I have an interest in making application such as a calender that will sync with Google, MSN and others. I also would like to figure out how to get Flash light on the Edge. It currently does not have Flash, but I know that other devices do have it.
Can anyone help?
I would like to do the same. I have the pocket edge running ermine
Sent from my edgejr using XDA Premium App
I have the same device but with beta ERMIN 0.9 (which is 2.2.1) i was wondering if there is any way to root it. and if its not too much trouble i would really like the market too.
Here is your answer! even if it has root idk about a custom rom or even a market
Android Police has an Article on how to root
OK, need help
After problem with market I tried lot of thing from xda to enable it, nothing worked and after I messed up with lot of things on it I "wisely" decidet to factory reset it.
I did not mentioned I rooted it before and removed some system apps with titanium backup pro
Now after reset everything worked fine till green screen of welcome and 11 steps I skipped all after conecting to wi-fi because there was no eDGe server to register me.
And after skip I got blank screen just with notification bar, after while it locked itself, unlocked it by slideing and still blank.
Like there is no Launcher app.
Now I would use update.zip for ermine but I am lost so many PE users and everything here about PE.
But I need EE original standard one, so please someone direct me to right link for matching update.zip for EE (not PE) and easy instructions because I do not remember anything how I did it last time.
Should I first downgrade to dingo than use update for ermine ???
Update: after shut down (it let me by long press rotation button) after I turn it on it stays in loop (EDGE logo with 4 dots).
resolved, loaded golden dingo then ermine.
wi-fi problem resolved by app but gapps dead for now.
I've just bought an G1 off craiglist and it work fine for a couple day. Then the went crazy and keep restarting and stuck on the android loading page. I then reset the phone but now i cant seem to get pass the goggle signup page.
I've read several tutorial on here on how to get pass this with adb. But when i tried to check if my phone is running rc29 or rc30 by using the command
<enter>reboot<enter>
the phone does not reboot. Does this mean I'm using rc30 and there is no way to get pass this beside getting the data plan?
Thank you for your help
cant you just hit all 4 corners in a clockwise motion? thats how it works on the moto droid.
I tried that n it doesnt seem to do anything.
BY PASS ACTIVATION SCREEN
At starting screen touch corners of the screen clockwise
start from Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.
Do not touch the the DROID icon
just to make sure were clear
yea I already tried that for like 10 min and nothing...read an thread on here that this method does not work for g1 runing donut or dream.
any other suggestion?
thank you
You could try manually updating the phone to 1.6 via your SD Card. If my memory serves me, you can temporarily bypass the signup screen in newer versions of Android (I may be wrong on that, someone correct me if I am).
have you tried getting into telnet?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are correct sir, 1.6(donut) you can definatly bypass it, but i dont think your contacts will sync until you do, just as if you were installing the latest CyanogenMod <--- (runs eclair FW 2.1), you kinda gotta wait a bit for the google account thing to show up, when i first flashed i flipped my wig cuz all my contact were "gone" but like 6 mins into playing with the new Cyan release, it just popped up. (you may have to install the google addons if your on test 7)
Oh, and on CM 5.0.7 test 7 (latest current release as of 5/19/2010) it can also be bypassed or "skipped" rather, to be done when you descide to do it

Hai people,
Im new here and i got a problem with my HTC Hero. Ive got it rooted to FroydVillain through this site and it worked fine for quite a while. But since thursday my phone flipped.
My trackball keeps lighted on, whatever i do. My battery runs low in like 6 hours...normally i did a whole day with it.
When i plug the usb cable it doesnt connect to my computer, it only starts powering up the battery. If its connected with my usb cable and i remove the battery the trackball starts flickering instead off burning all the time.
I didnt know what was going on, so i tried to do a nand restore in the root menu. After that i still had problems with the trackball and it still doesnt connect to my pc. Then i tried a factory reset in the root menu, but the problems are still there.
It doesnt let me get into the mobile network settings either. It doesnt find my provider and cant change it, so at the moment my whole phone is useless
Im quite new with this whole rooting thing, so i might have messed it up now? I hope some people know a solution for this. Please dont throw to geeky stuff to me, because i might not understand it
My software settings are this according to the phone:
Firmwareversion: 2.1 update1
Smallbandversion: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel-version: 2.6.29-063c4d24 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number: 3.32.405.2 CL 191507 release-keys
Softwarenumber: 3.32.405.2
Browserversion: webkit 3.1
Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance
I have tried to fix it myself cause i didnt get any responds yet, but without succes. I got it to restart again in the original htc version, and get the setup menu where u can set your country, wifi connection etc...
It doesnt recognize my sim card though, and doesnt find a provider because of that. When its finished with the setup menu its at the 'normal' home screen. But as soon as it turns black as the screen saver i cant get the screen on again.
The trackball also still keeps burning.
I went to my local phone repair point, but they dont do androids :S its for nerds he said -_-
Im getting hopeless...plx could some1 tell me what to do. I want a whole reset off the phone...i dont care losing information on it. But because i cant connect it with my computer i have no idea how to flash a rom on it
(Sorryy for my bad english!!)I have two kinds of issues
1.
I have a Htc Touch Hd, i try to install Android.
I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959831
but after i open Haret, in the end there is:
"A N D R O I D: bin/sh can't access, tty job control turned off"
After this i can't do nothing.
2.
I try to install FROYO 2.2.1 CBV2, with partition.
I run install, than Haret.. here after some min repeat this:
"info: task rpcrouter: 15 blocked for more than 120 seconds."
and i can't do nothing again.
what i can do?
NFX-Shift STOCK Version 2.0 Issue
Though I do not have the answer to your question, I do have one of my own:
I have been running this ROM for a long time, since it came out basically. I have put it on 4 different Shifts and everything runs fine, until now.
I can't get voicemail anymore on 1 of the phone (most recent one I rooted). It tells me via text message I have one, and to listen to it. But the Spring Voicemail says it is empty.
I have tried reflashing it, and same thing. Any one have any ideas?
I love this ROM and would really hate to leave it over voicemails!
JellyThunder Rom
Hi there. I tried the JellyThunder rom, for the at&t Galaxy Note 2, obviously. But I ran into an issue. My S-Note doesnt app doesnt work. Any ideas ?
The 4.0.4 OTA update was waiting for me when I woke up this morning. I started the install but when it went to reboot it hung up with a picture of the Android man on his back with a red error/warning triangle.
I haven't done anything with it, hoping someone might be able to help me out.
The phone is rooted but running 4.0.2 stock rom. the battery was a little low when i started the install, but i plugged it in before starting.
Thanks in advance for help,
jvoosh
the reason is that your phone is rooted ,so ... if you want OTA ,you had better unroot you rom or ruu
so can I hard reset the phone (pull the battery) without screwing anything up and then figure out how to unroot the phone?
thanks for your help,
j
Ditto
I'm in exactly the same boat, and hope someone answers this before I try a battery pull.
EDIT: I read around and found some people describing our situation, and mentioning that they did battery pulls to no avail. So I did, and nothing broke. However, the update didn't go through, and now I'm trying to figure out why this happened.
Same issue
I'm having the same issue. Phone got the IMM76k update, and after downloaded, was prompted to restart and install. So i did, gets through part of the install, and then goes to the android man on his back with a red exclamation mark. Have tried multiple times, all to no avail. Now, when I click check for update, it says system up to date, but still on 4.0.2.
Non-rooted, bootloader unlocked...anyone have any luck fixing this?
After downloading update, get Android man on back with red exclamation point
I'm having some difficulty getting the update to install, along the lines of some of the comments posted before mine:
I was able to force download the OTA update (IMM76K) according to the instructions on this original post. (It took a few tries, but eventually worked.)
I select the "Restart & Install" option (which is the only option available to me), and it restarts.
I get the relatively familiar Android man with his blue-green glowing polyhedron wireframe guts spinning, and a progress bar beneath him. After getting through what looks like about 20%, it slows down significantly, and I get the Android man on his back with a red exclamation point above him where the polyhedron used to be. I don't recall seeing any specific error message any of the three times that I tried this. (The first time, I did a battery pull; the second and third times, I just waited, and it eventually restarted on its own.) Needless to say, I'm still on 4.0.2.
I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with different version names and so forth (e.g,. I don't know what yakju is), but this was a phone that Verizon sent me in December 2011 here in the US.
Here's the information from my "About phone" page:
Model number: Galaxy Nexus
Android version: 4.0.2
Baseband version: I515.09 V.EK05 / I515.EK02
Kernel version: 3.0.8-gaaa2611 [email protected] #1
Build number: ICL53F
When I first got the phone, I immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I did NOT install a custom recovery, nor did I install any custom ROM.
It sounds like there might be some kind of validation error, but I do not recall doing anything that would make my OS non-stock, except perhaps side-loading Google Wallet, but since that doesn't even require root, I can't imagine that it would have any effect. My Superuser app shows only the following apps to have ever used root permissions: BusyBox Free, Secure Settings, Superuser, Terminal Emulator, and Titanium Backup. I've only used BusyBox and Secure Settings with Tasker to automate certain tasks, but nothing crazy! Mostly, I just need root for Titanium Backup. (I cannot recall exactly what I restored from my stock Gingerbread Droid X, but I was very careful to only restore apps and their corresponding app data--and I avoided restoring any Google-provided apps.) Even my tethering is done through an app not requiring root (SVTP).
Any advice (not requiring that I do a factory reset or flash a custom recovery or ROM) would be greatly appreciated! I'd also like to hear about people who have similar circumstances, but didn't have problems updating (so that I can rule out various factors).
Thank you in advance!
same exact issue here.
A "solution", albeit less than ideal
The OTA update eventually came to my phone naturally, and it still didn't work. (No surprise there.)
I called up Verizon tech support, and they had me do the Google Services Framework workaround to try to force the update again. Of course, it didn't work.
They said "We're going to need you to reset your device." (i.e., to factory default).
I told them that was wholly unacceptable, since I want to make sure that all my settings are preserved. (I'm kind of obsessive compulsive about things being set the way I like them, and Titanium Backup, as great a program as it is, has sometimes caused some trouble for me when restoring system settings, and especially since I'd be doing a restore after upgrading the OS, I was nervous about that option.)
Verizon got Samsung on the phone. They had no advice except "We're going to need you to reset your device." Both the Verizon rep and I told him that wasn't acceptable.
So Verizon's "solution" was to send me a new device, allow me five days to get everything transferred over, and then have me return the old device.
Up side: In case there was something wrong with my hardware or something else got messed up, I get a new device that I can get set up with the exact same settings as the old one.
Down side: The "new device" is refurbished, so there could potentially be some kind of baggage.
The "new device" came with 4.0.2. I booted it up without the SIM card, skipped all the logging in to Google, and immediately started going through the steps to unlock the bootloader and root the device. (I used the Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit, which worked like a charm on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine I had lying around.) After unlocking and rooting, I logged into the device with my Google credentials and let it restore my settings and apps that I had downloaded from Google Play.
Then, it notified me that the 4.0.4 (IMM76K) update was available, so I installed that, and it worked without a problem.
Then, I installed the SIM card and got the new device activated through Verizon's website for activation.
Then, with both devices side by side, I went through every phone setting and made sure it's what I wanted, I made sure every app was installed (and if it was a non-Google Play app, I restored it through Titanium Backup), and I restored data for apps that don't store their data in the cloud (e.g., various games) through Titanium Backup. (I made a backup of my old device with Titanium Backup and transferred it over to the new device after getting the new one up and running.)
Everything seems to be working just fine, and the "new device" runs a bit faster and smoother than the old device, and that's with both devices rebooting and then going through the exact same "click paths", side by side.
So it's a bit of a hassle, but everyone who has a Galaxy Nexus should still be under warranty, so if you're polite with your Verizon tech support representative, they may be willing to help you out.
Verizon can sometimes be infuriating with their update release schedule and keeping their customers informed, but they sure do a good job accommodating their customers in other ways.
I realize this isn't really a "solution" to the Android man on his back problem, but this seemed to be the path of least resistance for me, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far. (It's been less than 24 hours since I got the "new device" set up!)
Other things I realized I should have tried (and still may, before I wipe my phone and send it back):
- uninstalling BusyBox (through the app itself, since it makes modifications to the system) and Secure Settings
- unrooting
Good luck!
My friend who has a nexus has his bootloader unlocked and CWM on it. He got the OTA today on his way into work and like you guys, he has a broken android when he boots up. We can get into CMW but we are unable to mount his internal SD storage onto our computer and he has no ROM zips on his phone. Any advice as to how to get his phone up and running?
Will wiping the system/data fix it? Is there a way to get a ROM like AOKP onto the device outside of CWM?
Edit: After several reboots it decided to just boot into the stock ROM. Really strange. Anyhow, flashed AOKP and all is well now.
