====Troubleshooting====
=====USB Driver problems=====
If the USB driver fails to load when the phone is in bootloader mode, install PdaNet for Android, and it's USB driver.<br>
* [http://www.junefabrics.com/ PdaNet for Android]
You can uninstall PdaNet after the USB drivers are installed, and the USB drivers will still work.<br>
The usb drivers is installed in ''C:\Program Files\PdaNet for Android\usbwin'' or ''C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\usbwin''.<br>
To verify that the driver is working, set your phone in bootloader mode, and use the '''fastboot devices''' command, it should show the list of attached devices if the driver is working.<br>
=====When phone won't see OTA update or when manual update fails=====
Do the following
# Manage apps - ALL - Google Services Framework
#* Press Force stop
#* Clear Data
# Reboot phone
# System settings - About phone - System updates
#* Press Check now
# The phone should now show update to x.x.x is available
=====How to boot into recovery mode=====
# Power off your phone
# While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
# Use the volume button to scroll through the menu options and press power to select "Recovery Mode"
# Once the Recovery Mode screen has come up (green android with red warning sign), press  Power + Volume Up to bring up the menu
=====Microsoft Exchange troubleshooting=====
# Dial *#*#36245#*#* (36245 spells "EMAIL")
# Select "Enable extra debug logging" and "Enable exchange sd card logging"
This will start a log in the /sdcard/ root folder and the log will tell you if your phone is connecting with your exchange host.

If you have Gingerbread 2.3.1 you can use this method first without loosing data:

Troubleshooting

USB Driver problems

If the USB driver fails to load when the phone is in bootloader mode, install PdaNet for Android, and it's USB driver.

You can uninstall PdaNet after the USB drivers are installed, and the USB drivers will still work.
The usb drivers is installed in C:\Program Files\PdaNet for Android\usbwin or C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\usbwin.
To verify that the driver is working, set your phone in bootloader mode, and use the fastboot devices command, it should show the list of attached devices if the driver is working.

When phone won't see OTA update or when manual update fails

Do the following

  1. Manage apps - ALL - Google Services Framework
    • Press Force stop
    • Clear Data
  2. Reboot phone
  3. System settings - About phone - System updates
    • Press Check now
  4. The phone should now show update to x.x.x is available
How to boot into recovery mode
  1. Power off your phone
  2. While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
  3. Use the volume button to scroll through the menu options and press power to select "Recovery Mode"
  4. Once the Recovery Mode screen has come up (green android with red warning sign), press Power + Volume Up to bring up the menu
Microsoft Exchange troubleshooting
  1. Dial *#*#36245#*#* (36245 spells "EMAIL")
  2. Select "Enable extra debug logging" and "Enable exchange sd card logging"

This will start a log in the /sdcard/ root folder and the log will tell you if your phone is connecting with your exchange host.

  1. I tried altering the CoD parameters in the /system/etc/bluetooth/main.conf file, but it seems that this file isn't even being used (or at least the CoD isn't) and is simply a default.
  1. I tried installing hciconfig and changing the CoD that way, but hciconfig is unable to find any bluetooth devices.
