SO... first thread for me, please be gentle as i'm a virgin.
If this is the wrong forum for this post mods please move it and thanks in advance.
I searched XDA for "GPS" but I'm guessing the database is sql and doesn't like search terms that are 3 characters or less, no results found. Also used Google search of xda but came up with very little, so please bear with me.
Thought I'd shine the light of root on a friends G1 so I went through the whole process, rc29, root via telnet/terminal exploit, installed Cyanogen's custom recovery image 1.3.1 and ROM 3.6.2 and went on my way. A few days later got some messages from him, having troubles with headset muting, text messaging failures, gps problems, calendar showing midnight instead of month etc. and he wanted to go back to stock. "OK, NP" i say and head back a few days later to undo the surgeries.
Took him back to stock rc29 on a freshly formatted sdcard using DREAIMG.nbh so now he has the stock radio, bootloader, recovery image, spl and cupcake.
Seemed like everything was back to normal, he was happy, I was out of the weeds, all was well. Unfortunately he's just reported that GPS turns on when in Google maps but his location is never achieved. When using GPSStatus he is unable to find any satellites. So apparently GPS is b0rked.
He says he has done the whole turn off GPS, turn off your phone, wait for a clear day, go outside and stand on a mountain, turn on phone, turn on GPS, open maps and wait for 10 minutes thing to no avail.
So my question is: what should I have him do to troubleshoot this further, adb logcat? debug dump? what should I be looking for?
I know there is always a chance he's just got bum hardware (new replacement phone via T-Mobile's insurance, only a few weeks old) but the GPS worked fine before I rooted his phone. I wouldn't tend to think this is a possibility, but is there a chance something in Cyan's mod could have screwed up his hardware?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, he's going to send me his logs tomorrow so I can start digging for answers to this most perplexing problem.

You might have to start with baby steps on his phone. Do the whole process again but first wipe then go through the rooting process and then put JF Recovery .img 1.43 and JF's latest ROM I recommend v. 1.51 ADP and if all is well then go ahead and flash CyanogenMod's Recovery and his latest ROM...hopes this works out for your friend.

Thanks for the reply... slight miss-communication here. He wants his phone stock, too much going on in his world to deal with dev-bugs and such. IMO that should make it alot easier to troubleshoot. Just wondering what to look for is all. I see where GPS is turned on in logcat, and I can see processes related to it in logcat. I'm not too familiar with the debug dump, hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks again.
Might not be much help, but a data point for you - probably nothing you did wrong. Before I rooted my girlfriend's phone, her GPS just refused to work entirely. Same symptoms you describe above, same troubleshooting effort. I tried multiple times over the course of a few days, no luck. Then randomly, while we were on a road trip, it began working. Using OTA Cupcake the entire time, she never had the Map update from Marketplace. Only change is we are not a 3G market at home, but were traveling in one when it started working (can't imagine what impact that would have, but it is the only change.)
So.. Not sure. Doubt it helps, but I do think there's something a bit flakey with the GPS. BTW, after that her GPS worked at home too. It just couldn't seem to get an initial location fix.

Hey all, I've been looking around the past few days and didn't see anything on this particular issue.
Basically, I washed my G1 and had to get a new one. The one that got washed has been starting up (slowly, and not always), but the touchscreen no longer works. I reflashed the software to hopefully alleviate any of the problems when it was starting up. My initial thought was to use fastboot to flash the backup I made on my new phone with nandroid, but the bootloader isn't working properly (I'll try a reflash of that too).
So, do any of you guys know of any other ways to bypass the startup welcome touchscreen?
Try placing your finger on the Android, press the trackball, then lift the finger and press the trackball again

Flash the ADP1 software.
Edit: You'd still need touch for that, sorry.
The driver was all wonky, uninstalled, reinstalled, fastboot works now Flashed over to my new G1's state, but forgot to take off the lock screen... Flashing yet again. Everything should be good from here.
Edit: Alright, washing the G1 makes it wacky. The touchscreen works now after restoring it to the new G1's state. Weeeirrrdd.
Edit 2: Anddd now the touchscreen doesn't work :S
well.. when my touchscreen broke i used remote control software to control my ppc from pc .. thats one way to bypass welcome screen, but won't get you much further. I used it for making a backup from my phone.
just leave it off for a while and keep it someplace dry and warm so it can dry out.
You may try to modify build.prop in the rom you flash
ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED
I think it will skip the setup
Sorry can't help myself. In the laundry?
I guess I'm wondering what exactly you did. I'm assuming it didn't make it into the dryer....
If you need the data off it, you might be able to ADB pull what you want to keep. If I'm not mistaken, ADB is as close as we have to remote controlling for Android at the moment.
There may be some places around, like PPC Techs, that can do hardware repair. I'm guessing what will happen is you'll occaisionally get it to work for brief stints after reflashing or whatever, but it'll keep conking out until the hardware issue goes away/gets fixed. Hardware issues do that, printers, routers, sometimes PCs.
Not to be a naysayer, but I don't think changing out the software is going to help.
I washed my G1 (was in pocket of jeans under the water for about 90 seconds), and after that I disassembled it to let it dry. It was running fine up to the day I SPL bricked it.
Hey.. i split water on my phone.. it couldnt have been that much but the touch screen wasnt working.. thought if i factory reset it, it may started working..
I dont actually understand all the lingo you guys use.. but any ideas on how i can fix it?
J x
oh the main issue is i cant get past the touch android to continue set up... please i just want my android to work!!! J x
I'm having a similar issue... My phone randomly stopped loading android.process.acore and it's messing with my heart. The touch screen doesn't respond but I can use the trackball to navigate, and every acore process force closes instantly upon activation, such as dialer, contacts, music, etc. The wonderfully helpful people at T-Mobile instructed me to do a factory reset on my G1, and it should fix the problem.
New problem: I can't get past the "Touch me, I'm an Android logo" screen. When I click Emergency Dial, it force closes because the acore processes are still messing up. The intention today was to reload the Cupcake SPL and Radios onto the phone. The issue there is that I can't touch the screen to start the USB connection with my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions aside from paying another $130 bucks??
This will do the trick
google androidscreencast it will allow you to contol your G1 via your PC
...let me know if you have resolved android.process.acore im on the same boat and a wipe and flash has yet to solve it...
same boat for me too! wow, this is three, maybe 4 of us currently experiencing same problem!
I love screen cast. Droid explorer is great too, basically a GUI for adb, and has a plugin for screen cast. Too bad you have to be online though, I'd love to use screencast offline!
I'll update if I figure out the error problem!
Well it looks like a complete wipe and a flash back to non root status is whats gonna take to fix the android.process.acore issue. BUT now w/o root, I cant access the G1 via android screen cast...so im totally stuck on the "Touch Android to begin" screen... sucks to be me lol
I think I'm in the same boat. I didn't know about the screencast application before I did a complete wipe to stock. So I'm stuck at the "touch android" as well. This phones pretty much junk to me right now.
I wonder if any of you have tried restoring your latest back up?
Yes, no help, either on the touchscreen, or the incessant errors. I think there must be some code that checks whether the touchscreen works, and sends back an error if it doesn't. I've tried almost every combination of radios and spls mixed with several different cyanogen roms going back to 4.1, both fresh installs and nand restores.
Currently I'm running the latest cyanogen, radio and hard spl. I get errors often, and can't use the phone / dialer at all without force closing. For now texts and google voice work so I have at least some communication. Ironically, I can't even unroot because none of the spls will flash dreaimg.nbh, but that probelm is in my unresponsive bootloader thread.
Sorry to hear about your predicaments allthrottle and r1ch. Strangely you are right where I'm trying to get, I have warranty coverage to fall back on.
Picked up my NC 1.0.1 today. Rooted without issue. After having a Google Talk conversation, I lost access to Marketplace, and all Google Apps? Can't log back in?
Anyone else having similar issues?
P.S. My wallpaper was changed as well ?!?!?!?!?!
p.p.s. My browsing history and favorites are gone too? Please tell me an update or something was just pushed out. I feel like I just wasted a few hours of my life here.
My rooted 1.0.1 nook has problems as well. Gets authorization error and resets data. After restoring through the clockwork recovery, had it up just for 5 minutes before it automatically reset again. Lost all my apps, market access, youtube, etc. Don't know if this issue has been discussed before. May just have to go back to stock.
It appears that something is amiss. I cannot sign back into any Google Services.
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call Customer Care.

Would a simple re-rooting solve the issue?
Same here. Was using everything fine Saturday. Turned on the device and in a few minutes I got an error, something about a problem with the registration and it said it was rebooting. It did and wiped everything of my rooted install except the market. Can't login to google account now.

I might add that I got my device it was at 1.0.0 and I rooted then reflashed to stock to upgrade to 1.0.1 and rerooted. Then I noticed after today's unexpected reboot/data wipe (the status screen during the reboot says it was wiping data) it again gave a message that it had just upgraded to 1.0.1 so I initially thought this was an issue with the device thinking the firmware upgrade was not quite done...
Mine quit working as well. Mine is a 1.0.0 that was auto-nootered. Everything was fine and I used it daily. Now it is a brick, nothing I do seems to make it boot. Every once in a while I can get the backlight to come on but nothing else and it just goes off again in a few seconds.
Rather than troubleshoot, I busted an 8 times reboot to go back to stock then re-rooted. Seemed like less headache, panic and stress.
If your NC dosen't boot at all. Try doing a dd of snowfox's boot.img in dev section. See thread for more info. You'll need to boot into NF from SD.

I have tried rerooting, and restoring through clockwork...it seems to always revert and bootloop. Although the reroot lasted a week and clockwork restore hasn't lasted 24hrs twice now.
Not sure what to do but My wife is ready to kill me! I'll have to go stock till someone finds a way to bust up this authorization or just wait I read some ROMs are being developed.
Have any of you disabled the otacerts.zip?
If you haven't it may be the problem.
I have and same on my wife's and neither of us have had any issue, and we use them daily.
I hadn't realized I should be doing this. I will try it. I am actually thinking that my first store purchase came w/ an update (my issue seemed to start right after a magazine trial purchase was made).
Thanks.

Thank you, I will try that. All the searching I did was for disable OTA NC and such but actually searching for OTACerts brought out many many threads that were archived on this subject... I can't wait to get home to try it!
I did not rename the ota file.... will give it a go.
EDIT: We now have our own forum section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1060
Please check there to see if there's a relevant thread for any new topics or issues, if not, make one.

Well, that last thread went on FOREVER, I thought a new one might be needed.
This is the continuation from the old thread.
The 2.2 upgrade is here with instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11551718&postcount=1067
Important note: The update will officially be OTA, so you don't need to do this yourself manually here. The OTA will be out shortly. The method provided at that link is for the technically inclined.
If it gets stuck on 98% for a while, that's fine, don't worry about it. Just keep it connected and wait, it can take 30min. Not a problem.
And if you lost your Kyocera logo while messing with the boot image, IT'S BACK
I'm really hoping they fixed the boot loader and perhaps we can get Clockwork Mod working on it again, without it trying to connect to Verizon!
ROOTING
The 1-click root that worked for 1.6 works just the same for 2.2
ISSUES
There doesn't seem to be any multi-touch enabled.
Either the accelerometer or compass is broken, both google sky maps and the compass app jitter around A LOT.
Improvements
All around speed increase.
Camera takes pictures in focus and captures when pressing the button rather than 1+ seconds later.
Night pictures have much better contrast.
Gallery scans 8gb card a single time and opens fast all times after.
hehe, I was going to start a thread, but thought it fitting to wait for you to do it.
Perhaps we should muscle xda again for a ZIO section, or at least a cricket android section? o.0
That's why I was asking people to start new threads starting with "Kyocera Zio M6000 - my issue here" so hopefully the general forum would be flooded... That didn't seem to go too well, there are over 1000 posts in the original thread. Can we beat that here?
lol hopefully not. Now that 2.2 is live (somewhat) I think people will now be more inclined to start new zio threads instead of bombarding the most popular one.
I love this update it made the phone everything it should have been from the start. All the great performance enhancements and cool new features are awesome, I cant stop playing with my phone. I think my new favorite thing is the new lock screen, and the slide to answer feature.
any clue what the "kyocerafailsafetool" is? Its a background app.
Unrelated note: Im going to have to get use to the fact that I dont have to push my task killer widget everytime I open/close an app. lol
apps 2 sd
hi i am looking for instructions to do the apps2sd can anyone point me in the direction for that? also i noticed that all the bloatware is back, is it still safe to remove it same as before? and i guess we still need barnacle to have wifi hotspot. thanks!!! so we dont need taskkiller anymore for 2.2?
apps2sd is located in your application management settings -- just click an app and there will be an option (if available) to "Move to SD"
Should be alright to remove all the crappy demo games and bloatware.
Yes for barnacle.
Sweet. I have been at work all day and just got to a PC that I can do the update from. Got it smoothly on the first try although it does take forever on the initial boot up after update.
Anybody remember the directory that the bloatware is in?

anyone find a way to upgrade to the 2.2 for Zio cricket yet? I just now found out that they finally got it out. I was told though that the only way to get it is to take my phone to a Corp store and they have to do it.
I've been searching all over the net for an hour now trying to find it to do myself but with no avail. it's getting very tiring and frustrating cause i don't have a ride to get to the dam store I need to get to for them to do it.
Woohoo !! I got my Kyocera logo back. Took forever at 98%, glad I waited, I'm rolling. I did a factory reset right before the update, but I think it would have wiped everything anyway.

oops sorry I just found the thread showing the download for the upgrade and how to do it. sorry again i should have read into it more on here for i sent the question about it. now i'm going to see if i have the time before i have to leave to get it done and if i can figure it out. lol wish me luck and i'll let you know how it went. hopefully I don't fk my phone up. lol
I know, I was super stoked to get my logo back. Perhaps they've changed the way the OS handles factory resets - perhaps not on the recovery partition anymore?

dam download of the upgrade taking forever on my junk network
Its taking me some time to get the download I need, but in the mean time, can someone explain in detail how I should go about doing it?
I'm worried someone might try calling or txting me while its being done. Hope that won't screw things up. I'm still going to try it either way.
Before I start I'm going to do a system restore on my phone first then go ahead with the upgrade from there. Only problem I'm really having is it's in a WinRaR zip file. Do i have to extract the files in the zip first before upgrading, transfer it to the sd card on my phone and go from there? what I have no clue yet but looking for the answers. problem is I only have till 7:00pm tonight to get it done cause i have to be somewhere at 7:30pm till 9pm.
I would like to have it done before i leave if possible.
apps to sd
ok thank you Spz0 i have got a new 8gb sd card that was the biggest i could find on such short notice, so just format it with the phone and then replace all the files off old sd card to new one ? was just making sure so i dont mess it up. what are some good apps for 2.2 that wouldnt work on 1.6 i have phone rooted with universal androot installed apps are titanium backup,root explorer,quick app cache cleaner,better keyboard,adw ex launcher,andguard,astro file browser,beautiful widgets,dropbox,memory up pro. i have found a place to get apps and install from sd card for anyone that wants to try the apps and make sure they work or are what you want before purchasing them and installing them,just go here http://www.4shared.com/ and use search for apps for android apps you want to try. i then get them from market and pay for them if they work and are what i want. saves me from getting something that doesnt work,and then trying to get a refund from market. ok hope this helps everyone. tommy
I finally updated to the official AT&T Froyo 2.2 probably about a month ago. Everything was working great. I wanted to root/enable sideloading apps/unlock. I used SuperOneClick 2.1.1. The root worked fine (at least I think so). I was not able to enable sideloading apps so I read online how to change the value of sideloading apps from 0 to 1. I also unlocked the phone using the Galaxy S unlock app from the the Market.
Almost right after the SD Scan would take a long time and then I would get a red SD card symbol saying "Low on Space - Database storage is getting low". I tried clearing cache's to fix the problem. It didn't fix anything. Soon thereafter I started getting "Message Memory Full - Incoming messages rejected due to full...." I cleared phone log/txt messages but it hasn't fixed anything. I looked at my internal and external SD card. My external card is 3.68 total with 17MB available. My internal has 12.67GB available.
Today all of a sudden if I try to look at my missed call I get "samsung captivate the application phone (process com.sec.android.app.dialertab) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I get similar messages trying to open Gmail. I haven't gotten it on any other apps yet as far as I know. It vibrates like crazy when the apps crash.
Can anyone help me with the problem? It's making my phone useless right now and my battery is dying much quicker than before. Thanks!

My vote is to go with a custom ROM. It will solve all of these problems. Cognition is the most similar to stock and is quite easy to flash. As for the problems you are having, I don't know what to tell you.
Try Cognition 4.5.3. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the quick replay Jack especially on a Fri night. What exactly do I do? Is it difficult to do?
Well, not busy tonight. Watching pre-season football.
Flashing a Froyo rom is not too bad. Since you have stock 2.2 it will be a little more tricky than if you were still on 2.1.
First, what is your build number? look on the sticker under your battery to see a four digit number beginning with either 10 or 11.
I will private message you with more.

Make sure you READ EVERY LINE OF THE OP. When you think you got it, read it again, then give it a shot. For the time being just factory reset your phone, should clear up some of your issues. Good luck
sent from long ago, in a Galaxy far, far away.
^^^ he's right. READ, READ, READ... until you're sick of it. It will pay off and keep you from bricking. Sorry I didn't mention that. But I will be glad to help you if you need.
and if (or when) you manage to brick it do not panic,, go back and read some more,, seems that almost everything an idiot like me can do is fixable,, and most normal people are pretty safe,, they are not going to kill their phone,,,,if they read and follow instructions,,,not doing those two have found my phone in some pretty unresponsive states,, but I am running mosaic VI now and loving it,,but have been on so many I had to go look,,and have finally I hope learned the value of reading ( and those other people probably do know more than me so I should not think I know better ,,,yet)

Not sure how much of knowledge you have gained before doing these attempts of changing some values to enable side-loading...
I would suggest to do factory reset since you are still on FROYO and see if this does the magic.
If it gets locked back to AT&T, I suggest just talk to AT&T rep to unlock & side-enabling. Once all is well, you can do rooting as you did before. Hope this helps to solve your problem.
For any other help, we have XDA here and get some time to go through forums. As others suggested, please read, understand and act.
A day after I posted this the phone seemed to be working right. However Jackman pointed out if it happened once it's almost sure it will happen again. I tended to agree with him so did a factory reset and then flashed with Cognition 4.5.3 with a lot of Jack's help of course. Right now seems to be working flawlessly. I do like this whole custom ROM idea. Even thinking about buying a used Captivate on ebay just so I can mess around with other ROMs. Thanks everyone for your help & input. If you have any other suggestions my ears are always open...

Just for a bit of encouragement ive been using Cognition 4.5.3 as my daily driver for the past 4-5 months and have never had a single issue with great battery life. Ive tried numerous other roms on this forum and always have run into a boot loop, force close, or other random issue that makes my phone unstable but with Cognition I experience what my phone was meant to be like.
First of all running stock Droid 3 Rooted Flashed to cricket
with all the fixin's, Bootstrap, CMW, ... etc....
:edit ... Now with safestrap.
_________________________________________
I noticed after taking my phone out of my pocket while trying to turn it on from normal off screen while on that it wouldn't show up the light still indicated it was working I can even turn off the phone.
Taking the battery out and back in semi fixed this but only to the extent where when the phone is turned on the moto logo doesn't appear but the droid eye does.
whence at the booted screen if I were to let it go black it has a chance to not stay on unless I RIGHT after it boots unlock it and keep it lit,
(but)
the main problem I noticed was it really only did this after lets say I was typing or doing anything with the qwerty board open and perhaps I let the screen turn off after a minute,
when I try to wake it up it stays black. EVERY TIME like most of the time,
it has to do with the keyboard being open when the screen goes to sleep.
WHAT IS WRONG *pulls hair out*
_________________________________
I can't say when but I've looked everywhere
tried uninstalling every app but the essentials,
then restoring to my first restore which was after my first initial root.
Tried factory reset,
Tried flashing back to stock,
yeah I think this counts for as much as I've gone insane looking for an answer for.
I have been told this sounded like a software issue so all I'd need to do is re install like I did when flashing back to stock THIS MORNING.
____________________________________________________
I need help to identify somehow if this IS or IS NOT a software/hardware problem.
and an answer to help me fix this would be nice as well thank you.
I know I am supposed to be brief but putting in all that into google and into every forum I have delved just isn't going to put it the way it needs to be said.

Edit:
Ok so far since no one has said anything I have also reinstalled my old newest state, still giving me crap.
Then just did the newest update 5.7 blah and still it's happening.
I hypothesize it might be the flex ribbon cable maybe (but it really might not) I read from another phone it might be a capacitor but it might not.
Whatever is wrong the phone still is able to at times now 40/60% of the time work properly and wake normal but then again not.
__________________________________________
Right as of now I have put isc to see if this helps .......... .... to be continued or helped.
I'm back, well ics installed fine after the second time made it boot loop over and over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can receive calls now
but
no sms, mms, or internet.
(even though the network status settings are blank it's weird I can still receive calls, and send calls.)
since you can't restore the apn's with 3rd party I now have this NEW issue.
the phone goes unresponsive within cdma workshop and ##Program does not work.
I'd like some help in finding out now how to if it is possible yet to properly flash to cricket and or just change my apns and get into cdma as well as QPST.

Yeah, it does sound like a hardware problem. If nobody else can help you fix it, you'll need to reflash the latest OTA update (or revert to your safestrap nandroid), unroot it and restore all the system apps that you may have frozen/deleted, and hope that Verizon will replace it.
Thanks

Thanks for your input.
(verizon wouldn't replace it since I baught it from someone else (legit) and I don't have verizon.
UNLESS you think if I had the previous owner take it into the store could they replace it? what steps would they take to see if it was rooted?
_______________________
I never unrooted it when I did allll of this
Do you think rerooting is soumething that I should have done before doing this?
Or most likely is this a flex ribbon cable thing ....
I just tried the diagnostic (leave keyboard open then turn the screen off and on thing)
it came on at least 3 times normal then it didn't either right after the 3rd try or upon closing the qwerty board ...
also do you have an answer at all for the ics portion of my problem?
THANK YOU

EDIT!!!!!!!! Actually realized I did reroot after the sbf ota flash .....
so all things aside yehs I also did that any other solutions inquiries ...
ANYONE ELSE PLEASE HELP!
Another path to try down is Motorola - depending on the age of the phone, I believe there's a warranty through them.

I bought my d3 off craigslist and the power button and n key weren't always working. I took it in to Verizon and had a new one in the mail 3 days later!

Sorry didn't read the part about you being on cricket. Maybe you could make friends with someone that has d3 on verizon have them activate it and take it in for you.

I believe there is another apn type tool that the Cricket Android tools are using for their specific settings. You may have to search XDA a bit to see if anything shows up for othere phones on Cricket.
