Edit: This method will most likely require radio s-off to work. Not as useful as I thought first but still less hassle if you often switch from ruu stock to custom roms.

Hi all.

I recently wanted to go from stock 1.72 to CM7 and didn't want to go through downgrades etc. so I simply took a test PD98IMG.zip and removed everything except the hboot (which is eng s-off) and placed on the SD-card. I then rebooted into bootloader and it flashed the new hboot for me. It was then easy to flash recovery using fastboot.

Since it was so easy and I didn't manage to find this method described I decided to create this thread. Feel free to move/remove if this is old news.

I tested this on my phone several times using the zip below. I do however not guarantee anything.

peace!

Instructions:

1. Download file PD98IMG.zip.

(md5 01f950f719cf12d8c39d62b513203789)

2. Copy to SD-card.

3. Reboot to bootloader ("adb reboot-bootloader" or restart phone with volume down pressed)

4. Follow on-screen instructions

Guess if it will work, it's gonna be much more simpler to downgrade our HDs! Thanks a lot mate, thumbs up for the great idea!!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Was your phone radio s-off? If it was not, this is great news, and a big big mistake from HTC :p But I have to say, it sounds pretty unbelievable that they would sign an engineering hboot..
[Desire HD Android Development] alind_:
You're most likely right as my phone was in fact Radio S-OFF already. It still helps when switching from stock ruu to custom roms for us with radio s-off though.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep, that's what I thought. With radio s-off + root it is a 10 second deal to make ENG S-OFF with my tool, but this definitely helps people who do not have root. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] festa20:
Bit off topic but I got recovery and I got s-on now and I can still flash custom roms in on coredroid v6 have I done something because I still got s-on
[Desire HD Android Development] Juju07:
This worked wonderfully!!! Thank you!!!!

Hey all,

Testing EzGingerbread (latest version)on my G1, listed in sig.

I do have one question:

EzGingerbread loads fine and starts up great, but it goes straight into lockscreen on first boot. I normally see a setup wizard for a gmail account on other ROMs.

So I scoot on over to Accounts & Sync menu, and then try to add a gmail account there, but it recognizes exchange domains and accounts??????

How do I add a gmail account to EzGingerbread?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
you need to flash gapps

gapps are not usually include in a build for two reasons

some ( maybe only a few ) prefer not to have them , making the system more light wight

more significant than 1, Cyanogen received a c&d from google for including them

the Cease and desist was more of a formality , if you read around you will find that Google were very helpful in reaching a compromise in the background

Cyanogen got the C&D due to the fact that his custom ROM became very popular

ROMS that include the gapps are essentially 'breaking the rules' but are so unpopular they do not get flagged

Anyway, to resolve your problem

see post 2

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9987696&postcount=2

flash the gapps package

if the rapid share is not working for you

once you open market you should get the google login

then get gmail from the market

:D

well have ago at the ADS builds in that thread

they use the same code base, but has extra features like a2sd built in, so no need for firerat scripts

still might be good to look at firerat ddb

it is in his aio script and will save save space on data by moving /data/data to sd-ext

Im running MagpieCM7 which is very new

http://www.mediafire.com/?eufe1p61c8pny

or

http://dl.dropbox.com/s/hh2uxbl6nwz1s7m/index.html

not as fast as ezGinger if I'm honest

but start with ADS, he merges Firerat code so should be up to date

right on, Effdee, Thanks for this CM7.

I am testing an ADS Rom now.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caduces:
Hi, I just bought a replacement digitizer from ebay, I first have to say that this will be my first replacement, so maybe I missed a step. So after I replaced screen, I connected the 3 connectors like they should, I screwed the one screw on the top right, and screwed the 6 t-4 screw. I turned on the phone, and it seems like it wont register touch. It also seems that its more responsive to touch when plugged to the wall. I was able to get to the calibrate touch screen, I was finished with that and still no response. So now my question is...

A) Did i miss a step?

B) Is this something common and can be fixed with settings?

C) Does this sound like a bad digitizer?

I emailed the company that sold me this digitizer, and they will exchange my digitizer. But before I ship it back I would like to know if it was me who is doing something wrong, or if its the digitizer.

ps. Not sure if I can post the link to the ebay item...

[Windows Phone 7 General] itsJTrang:
I have an LG Quantum Optimus from Bell Canada. There's an LG APP store Category that shows up in the marketplace with apps for us to download an install that are LG developed or are paid apps being offered to LG users as a free download. Their way of saying thanks to their customers. About half are swapped out with new ones once a month or something.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Rubic13:
As you can tell from my title, the face buttons on my g2 isn't working. Let me give you some back ground information about it. It is my sister's g2. She didn't have insurance on it for whatever reason, fell out of her pocket, and got ran over by a 15 passenger van. I took it apart, replaced the screen, and gave it back to her, with everything functional. Couple weeks later she apparently dropped it "just right" cause the screen stopped working again. (fyi, my sister is REALLY bad with electronics...) She decided she's going to get a mt4g so she gave the g2 to me. I replace the screen again, and do the spring mod for the hinge. Everything goes well, boot it up and such. But alas, the face keys don't work. Pulled the battery, did factory reset, neither of these worked. So does anyone have any ideas or clues on what to do?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
Wow it got ran over by a van and your g2 is still some what intact? That's crazy... Well I bet you need to replace some components of the soft keys since they might be damaged
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rubic13:
When I replaced the screen the first time after it got ran over, the soft keys still worked flawlessly. Was only after my sister dropped it and broke the screen again, that apparently they don't work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
That is insanity that this damn thing got run over by a van and somehow still manages to function. Go HTC your hardware is pretty fantastic despite its flaws.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ill_dawg:
you can use key tracker to see if the system is registering any kind of key press, and button remapper to reassign the functions you need to the volume up/down and camera buttons or trackpad center until you figure out something better.

Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rubic13:
Thanks ill dawg. The key tracker showed me that its not registering any thing from the home keys, as much as I suspected. I noticed at the bottomish of the screen there is a dead area on the touch screen, so the digitizer must of gotten ruined too, so I have to replace that next. The button remapper does provide an adequate work around for now though.

I think the regular phone speaker got messed up as well, though I'm not sure on that, could of been like that all along, but appears to be damage on the metal "screen" area that protects it, so I'll probably replace that too.

So, while I'm already that far into the phone again (hopefully for the last time), are there any other hardware tweaks I should do for my phone? I have already done the hinge spring mod.

FYI the van that ran over this phone is a 2009 Ford E series van with a large wheel chair lift in the back. The stock weight is almost 5000 pounds, no idea how much the lift adds to it, nor the people inside. So one can only imagine the forces put onto this phone, and the only thing that seemed to have broke was the screen/digitizer and speaker...damn I love htc :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackknightavalon:
I'm not surprised the G2 has taken this amount of damage. The HTC Evo is known to stop bullets and still work flawlessly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imdando:
wow...what a tank of a phone.

btw, i'm curious how much do the screen replacements cost? is it really worthwhile to replace it as opposed to getting a new phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rubic13:
I bought it off of repairs universe, probably can be found cheaper but meh, was lazy. Screen costs 50, then 5 bucks for T5 Torx screwdriver, then 5 or so for shipping I believe. So your looking at 60 bucks, compared to the 120-160 it was for insurance to replace it(least thats what it cost me when i wrecked my g1). You also need a smallish phillips screwdriver as well, but I had a whole assortment of those already so no idea what it'll run you for that. :p

The digitizer runs for 65 bucks on repairuniverse, but found an amazon listing for 30 bucks, so figure I'll give that a try.

All said I'll be about 100 bucks into the phone. So cheaper than insurance, and also I feel now that if anything goes wrong with the hardware, I know the innards well enough that I can fix or replace just about anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
According to source Repairs-Universe the screen and digitizer cost $49.99 and $64.99 respectively.

I suppose to answer your last question it would depend on how handy with a set of wrenches the end user is. I have no idea if "run over by a van" is a legitimate insurance claim, but I know that I would certainly love my phone a lot more if I ripped it apart and put a new screen in. Being able to tell some random bar-jack, "Why yes, my telephone did get run over by a van and all I had to do was replace the screen" is pretty good word of mouth advertising for HTC.

Edit: beaten like a two handed chimpanzee going for a banana
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Insurance covers any damage or loss. I could tell them I paid a hooker to pee on me while I played the picolo into my phone and the urine ruined my phone. Approved. Unless you have a picolo exemption on your policy. Then you're ****ed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rubic13:
well final update. In total I replaced the lcd screen, touch screen, and ear piece speaker, and works 100% now. I did go ahead and do the spring mod and got the bigger capacity batteries from amazon. So yeah other than a few scuffs and such, it is impossible to tell that it was ran over by a 3 tonn vehicle.
[G2 and Desire Z General] klaas4:
It may be overused, but:

It's not a bug. It's a feature.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:

So I tried to clear cache..no work.

I cleared the data for just the market and it worked after that.

Bumping this thread.

Anyone else have something similar happen?

Ran out of battery in stand by. Market won't open now. Tried restart, clearing data for market app, tried wiping cache, tried reset switch... no dice. Really dont want to start all over.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Problem is still there. I found something like this in logcat for every time I tried to open market

w\vending could not check for tos

Anyone have any ideas?
[A7 General] bestialbub:
for market issues please follow these instructions in the order i found them to work;

1

open market, if possible, tap around to create cache

2

goto settings, apps, RUNNING SERVICES

3

stop google framework, genie, and any other google service listed

4

goto settings, apps, CLEAR CACHE, NOT DATA

5

open market w expectation of fc, if it does open, close it.

6

turn fone off and on.

i found these Specific instructions to work on multiple android devices. most folks exclude turning off services, wipe data when they should be wiping cache, and they dont restart. so try in the numbered order listed.

if this doesnt work, i can direct you to a market cleanup update for another device. google xda simple green market. should turn up a thread w patched market for another device, and a market cleanup update that may help.

worst case, factory reset would do it. if you dont want to lose your internal storage data, maybe try my clockwork recovery and just format the data partition. this would at least leave your internal storage folder alone.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Thanks. Everything came back as soon as I killed the Google messaging service.

I don't understand how the messaging service could have had me all locked up, but its fixed now... in additional to some other apps that weren't authenticating.

supplemental market tip would be to open google talk in the event some google services, specifcally the downloader, doesnt start.

not sure if todays lack of google data or messaging permission xmls would have any relevance to messaging services having issues.

There will be others responsible for Advent Vega, zPad, etc. updates. We may add in updates for Xoom, G-Slate, and other Tegra 2 tablets when they're released.

If you would like to offer to update one of the devices, hop on #tegratab IRC and talk to Ryan45.

HDMI out is already on the phone, its just gonna require the same cable as the EVO 3D to get it. it uses a technology that outputs power via its USB cable to the microUSB/HDMI cable to send to the HDMI compatible device.

Using this will require MHL support on the phones software though, which we probably will get in the Gingerbread update in Q2

I've got a question about LP in this ROM. Is there any way to change LP inserted in that ROM in to the LauncherPro Plus? Because when I tries install it, I can't do that.

p.s. I'm really sorry for my English, I just came from Poland;)

Sure.. xP Install other launcher like adw launcher, uninstall the launcher pro, reboot and then install the full launcher pro

now you can uninstall the adw launcher.. :D

Thanks, but the problem is, that the LP and Adw are in my case system aplications. When i'm trying use the adw and delete LP option "uninstall app" is unavailable.
[XPERIA X8 General] spion38:
You have to uninstall system aplications with Titanium Backup.
[XPERIA X8 General] kirilito:
You can also delete if from Root Explorer in \system\app

It is absolutely necessary to install another launcher because if you just delete it, you won't be able to use your phone.

Thanks for replies. I've tried both of operations with no succeed;/
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
No succeded? That's weird.. xD

Use Root Explorer, mount rw and go the to \system\app.. now you can delete launcher pro and after installing launcher pro plus, the adw to.. ;)

I've tried this way. After delete i've tried to install LPP, but then jump out a massage that is the system apk and am I sure that I want to replace it. When I click "Yes" installation is in progress, after a while shows, that aplication can't be installed.
