[Q] Need an Experts help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help!
I have a unlocked AT&T Motorola Backflip (I know its old) and have been trying to install Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod7. I go through making a recovery image and use Superuser to do a Wipe All. I then flash from the SDcard the zipped file. Everything appears to work fine. After the reboot the phone comes up in the Home page where I can see the apps ect. The issue is that when the phone goes to sleep or restarts I am at the initial power up screen ( where you would select phone, home or return). It is at this point that the home button fails to do anything. I get a short vibration indicating that the phone recognizes I have pushed the button but nothing else happens. When I restore the recovery image everything works fine.
It appears that the link between the home button and the location of the home page is missing.
I would really appreciate expert advice on how to proceed.
Thanks

CyanogenMod 7.1 mapping
Thanks for the information. If I may pose a follow-up. Based on my description, do you think there is different mapping with Android 2.1.1 and Andriod 2.3.7?
Also, is there a way to tell what mapping is being used in Android 2.3.7 or CyanogenMod7?
I appreciate you help.

Nand Android Working

Hard SPL your phone first before proceeding.
Don't let your battery to discharge completely, if it happens, connect the charger (red led appears), take out the battery (with the charger still connected, red led remains on), put the battery back (orange led appears) and then fast turn the phone on and enter bootloader mode because there the phone is charging even that no led is on.
Google Android kernel build working from NAND memory.
I am glad to introduce you the result of our hard work, based on the android kernel and tinboot bootloader, made by DZO. I am, vsavichev, working on kernel, my friend hrustile- on design and system, and my friend blyha- on the hardware researching and testing part.
HOWTO Installation process.
Doing on the security unlocked phone under your own responsibility, all unlocking info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
1. Download Nikeimg.7z, archive contain 2 images, for 20 or 16 keys keyboard.
2. Flash it like usual firmware, which means:
2.2 From the SDcard:rename file NIKEIMG16K(20K).nbh to NIKEIMG.nbh and put it to the root of SD card. Make folder named "andboot" in the root of your SD card and put there android build itself, which usually named "androidinstall.tar",if not, rename it. My recommendation is this one, from my friend hrustile : http://www.multiupload.com/OYW85PFMH1. No need to format SD card or remove any files. Turn off your phone and reboot to bootoader mode (e.g. hold CAMERA and POWER buttons) Then phone will detect itself that there is a firmware is on your SD card and will ask your to press POWER button, so press it. Flashing takes about 20 seconds, after it's over pull the battery or press reset.
2.3 From the PC: same procedure exept no need to put NIKEIMG.NBH on the SD card. You need to put it to the folder with flasher on the PC. The rest same as SD card flashing.
But it's not all!!!
3. Turn device on and wait until i says "Hold down Volume Up or DPad Center to launch installer" press and hold central button, you'll see installer menu. If you missed yo press button- reset and press it directly after seeing some output on the screen.
Choose Data & Sys on "(*) NAND" and press Install android, then answer yes twice. Now installation process is started, wait for a minute or so.
4 And at last after installation is over press Quit, first boot takes some time so be patient. Then enjoy your Android.

Here are the last tested images, archive contains 20k and 16k version. I tried some radios, the best one was 1.71k.
Thank you for your hard work!
Darkforcesteam HD2 Forum developed the android, not a simulation. You can contact them, it is possible to obtain some information. If you need darkforcesteam forum account can contact me, my mailbox [email protected]. My English is poor, which is out through Google translations. Sorry.
Can you solve the BUG android on Chinese support it?Thank you
No, chinese is so far from me, im russian.
First, thanks for the advanced work!
I try this last night, and it looks great and smooth, but I have a problem for it.
Mine is Niki100, the screen touch function seems not working properly. I can't finished unlocking the phone, the screen froze after I slide it from left to right.
Anything I can try?
Looks strange for me, if problem is in locked screen only you can unlock it with double pressing of camera button. Then, if screen is still frezed, long press on POWER and then the RED PHONE, sometimes helps. Anyway, the work is very far from over, so i hope there will be a lot of improovments, this build i put here only to show that there is a hope, because all the previos threeds ended so hopeless.
thank u for your work!
but my phone raido is 1.59,your rom can't work on my phone ,if you fix this BUG, it will be perfect!
I don't think it's possible to fix a kernel for a specific radio, but it will be very useful for me, if everyone who tests my build will post the issues wich he will have for sure and the radio version, so i can find the problems, caused by radio and the problems, caused by kernel.
Latest news, now internet connection working.
What's new? Network connection in my cell phone is normal.
Some improvements, now we have all the functions, like under HARET.
How to install?
It seems when I long-pressed the icon (want to delete home screen shortcut), the screen touch works no more. Sometimes It randomly happened when I press several time short-pressed. Other than that, the phone function works fine, and 3g connection is fine too.

Do we have update for niki16k ?
poyfoster How long does the screen touch work before freeze? Or it happens just after boot? Please, post your radio version, i need it for statistics too.
About 16k update- you are the first to ask, no problem, i'll make one for you in a couple of hours.
It's this a rom?
How to install ? Its only androidinstall.tar and ZIMAGE. There is no default.txt and Haret and initr.gz, I download this package but still dont know how tu run it. Maybe someone can explain me, my device is HTC touch dual NIKKI 20 keys
It works from NAND, wich means your windows mobile will be gone. So you need to be very sure what are you doing before do something.
So if you still want to flash android, you need to put NIKEIMG.nbh on the rootof sd card,
androidinstall.tar and androidupdate.tgz to /andboot/ folder.
Turn off the device, hold CAMERA and POWER buttons, until you get to bootloader, then press power again.
Now press reset or pull battery off, then power on your phone. After splash screens you will see some fast running output, when you see something like "Hold center or volume up button to install" you need to hold center button. All the other stuff is like usual HARET installation, exept you need to put systrm and data on NAND in installer. After install complete, you need to install update before exit.
I need 16K,thanks

[Q] Wifi Problem !

Hey guys !
To begin with, I have searched and searched and have not been able to get help.
Phone stats :
Model GT - I9100
Android - 2.3.5
Baseband:
XXKI4
The problem is, I turn on wifi, it scans, then turns off. I have tried adding a wifi and it comes up "unable to save the network".
I got this phone 2 days ago from a friend.
Mac address and IP address are listed as "Unavailable" in advances settings.
PLEASE HELP!
Tried a hard reset?
Thanks for a quick reply !
I have tried:
Power button and home button (holding)
Factory reset. (Home + Power + Volume up)
Are either of them classified as a "hard reset"
I'm sorry, I am very new to android and have just moved over from apple. Not looking to go back just hoping to clear up this issue !
Yeah, that's one way to do one.
You should try updating your device. Your firmware is pretty outdated.
Either with KIES (crap software, but simple - you know, just like iOS ;-) ) or Odin/Heimdall (little harder, but works for sure).
Tell me if you need help.
Hey, updated to ICS using odin after researching all about roms and kernals and what not.
It did fix the issue of the phone constantly in a loop of turning itself off (HOORAY). Wifi is still not working
Then try a Rom that isn't based on Samsung's. Flash the resurrection edition of CM9 via Odin and after that the latest nightly via cwm. It's worth a shot, as CM comes with its own kernel and such.
If it's working under CM it was some sort of software fault and we can try to figure it out (unless you want to stick with CM).
If it doesn't, it looks like a hardware fault and I cannot help you.

Problem on lock screen an power on button on Android 4.0.3 (SII)

Hi and expect anybody could help me. I recently updated my GT-I9100 by Kies to Android 4.0.3, but that was not working fine. I wipe de cache and reset to factory, but my problem was the same:
I can't lock the phone by any means, is not wotking PIN, Patron, Face, even the slide, I can config but doesn't works. And one thing more, If I push the power button by one sec to show the Options menu (where you sould activate silence mode, plane mode, restart, activate data or power off the phone), the phone is turn off inmediatelly.
I back by a ROM to Android 2.3.4 and works fine, the I installed another ROMs (even one to 4.0.4) and the previos problem is allways the same.
What can I do?, Some body could help me?.:good:
Thanks in advance.
Search for keystr along with whatever other terms you've already been using.

[Q] apk Install Button Not Functioning

My Prime is about to go off warranty so today I attempted to install the Unlock Device Tool app - without success.
The apk opens to the usual dialog - "Do you want to install this application? It will get access to: etc., etc."
The problem is that the Install button at the bottom of the dialog doesn't do anything. (The Cancel button works just fine.) I tried installing from both MicroSD and Internal Storage, with both touch-screen and track-pad, with keyboard attached and without, cold booted too. Nothing helps. And, yes, installation from unknown sources is enabled, though I even tried disabling and re-enabling. Tried installing a different apk and encountered the same problem.
I'm running JB 4.1.1 - 10.4.2.18-20121122. I recall having the same issue on one of the earlier ICS releases but it resolved after a later upgrade.
Can't find any previous discussion on this though.
Would sure appreciate a solution, if there is one. :fingers-crossed:
I found a workaround. Maybe it will help someone else.
I hit the "I" key on the keyboard, hoping that might select the Install option. Instead it selected "Cancel". (WTF?) So I hit the Tab key and the selection highlight shifted to Install. Finally I hit the Enter key and the app installed.
So now I am successfully unlocked, TWRPed, finally rooted again, and ready to try custom ROMs!

[Q] Blaupunkt, cheap & cheerful Android tablet/lost password

Hi,
My daughter has one of these (Blaupunkt 800).
Unfortunately she has lost the password to get her past the first screen.
There is no data on board which needs saved, but she cannot now use her tablet.
There is a reset hole and two buttons (on/off and home)
I've tried numerous combinations of pressing the reset button in conjunction with various key presses, with no joy.
Has anyone had any experience of this tablet, or can anyone suggest a combination of button presses which will factory reset the tablet?

How many times do you search for something for three days, then ask for help on a bulletin board, then a few hours later find the answer and feel like a complete fool?
Well that never happens to me!
Well only the once!
Or twice!
OK, a few times!!
Anyway I found this information from data on a number of other sites.
How to enter recovery mode on a Blaupunkt 800.
The blaupunkt 800 is based on the same family of tablets as the TrekStor surftabs.
To get into recovery mode, use the following steps.
1.Press and hold Power+Home Buttons
2. Release the Power button as soon as you see Blaupunkt Logo on Screen.
Now you should be in recovery mode, choose what you want to do by pressing Home Button which will move down the list.
When you get the option you require , just press Power Button to select, and follow the prompts.
In my case I just wanted to factory restore, but you can reboot with different mods, clear caches etc. as with normal android devices.
Good luck
Phil

I've got a Blaupunkt 940 (Cape Town US). I am having a hell of time getting Google Apps installed. I've tried all the Jelly Bean apk's and some services wont even install. I finally found the correct version (I think) and the play store wont' connect to the server. I have internet access, installed framework and login serves apk's. I tried to flash all the google apps via .zip but can not get my 940 to enter recovery mode with the above, it just says update failed. I have updated the firmware of the Blaupunkt using the above method but it goes right into the update menu, not a typical recovery menu with options. My FW upgrade worked fine BTW. Any help with this thing would be great, all I want is google apps! It is android 4.1.1. Thanks everyone!

Hi, can you explain how to install upgrade in blaupunkt cape town 940?
Thanks a lot
Hello all,
I have the same problem with a friend's Blaupunkt Discovery 1001A.
I should reset the tablet because she forgot her gesture. Normally it's easy, just start into Recovery and reset the device.
But I'm too stupid for this. This method above does not work for me.
USB debugging is disabled, too. So I can't work with adb.
Has anyone a working solution for me? I despair of it....
Thanks in advance
