[Focus General] Paolo01:
Ridiculously silly question here, but the answer is eluding me. I received a new Focus from att warranty service to replace my one that died. I input my windows live name and the phone downloaded all of the apps I had purchased through its (handset) marketplace. However, when I connected it to Zune it did not re synch the apps I had purchased through Zune. How do I get those apps I purchased through Zune to exist on my new Focus?

Finally, I'd just like to add that since I have re created my Focus based on a replacement handset, while apparently it can be done and I have recovered photos and videos and such, it is not one step and it is not as easy as WP7 would lead you to believe. There is no 'recover my Windows Phone option' on Zune that I have found. Believe it or not, so far, recovering photos from the cloud on 'sky drive' has been easiest.
[Focus General] siralex241:
First off, make sure that you have signed in under your zune account on the zune application. Second, under zunes setting go to the sync options and have all your video, music, podcasts, photos and all other content sync automatically. This will eliminate the steps that you are doing to manually sync each media content. Now apps that have been purchased through zune client should automatically download onto the phone. Other apps that were downloaded through marketplace on the phone might need to be recovered from your service provider. But usually companys have a media content once policy and if you don't back it up on your computer you are "SOL".
[Focus General] Paolo01:
Thank you for the feedback. The way you are stating is how it should work, however, Zune only gives you the options to synch "Music, Videos, Pictures and Podcasts". There is no "Other Media" category which might wrap up apps which are purchased through Zune.

Interestingly, my phone re acquired all of the items which are listed as synch options through zune, the music, pictures, video and podcasts, but I cannot figure out the apps issue.

Apps purchased through the marketplace on the handset all downloaded automatically once I signed in with my windows.live ID.
[Focus General] GrayWolf:
The only apps that are supposed to automatically reinstall themselves onto your phone are those that you purchased through the Zune software-based Marketplace. Any apps that were purchased via the WP7 Marketplace will require you to perform a manual search to find the app and then reinstall it. (NOTE: The app will still show a "buy" button. So long as the first Live ID that you signed into on your phone is the same one that you originally put first onto your phone then you can click the "buy"/"install" button without being forced to pay again. The Marketplace will put up a message that reads: "You've already purchased this app. Would you like to install it again?"

Additionally: You can see most, if not all, of the apps that you purchased (even via the WP7 Marketplace) in the Zune app. Click on "Settings" -> "Account" -> "Purchase History".

Good luck!

i have asked this before and noone seems to know. but where does the windows mobile file explorer store cached user names and passwords for windows file sharing. i have run into a problem recently where i changed the password on my shares. one would think that a windows mobile device would say Oops i cant connect so ill ask for new login information. but for some reason my phone refuses to ask for credentials and just gives an access denied error. how can i manually wipe all the cached credentials so that i force the app to ask for the new login
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Greets All,

I am sorry that I have to ask a few questions, only cause I really dont want to mess anything up, I got the phone about a week ago, and I have been reading alot of the different sections about rooting, and I see the different types of ways, and there is good replies and bad replies so I am a bit on the fence. I even got a CWR of this: att-inspire-rooted-signed.zip but I cant for the life of me find where I got it from. But let me ask the questions:

1) I want to keep the phone completely as is, I dont want to install another rom or anything right now, all I want to be able to do, is, remove the att software, and root the phone so that I can install the apk's I have on my sdcard. Do I have to go thru the whole hack kit or one click root and all that? Or is there a simple root and stay with the stock rom?

2) The file I mentioned: att-inspire-rooted-signed.zip I renamed it to update.zip, and then went into the bootloader, then recovery, obviously I got the phone with the red triangle thing, but hitting the up volume and the power button give me a CWR menu, and one of them is to install update from sdcard, but when I choose that zip it says about e:\cant open command folder blah, and then when I click update it says invalid operation. is that cause the phone isnt rooted?

3) If I have to root the phone, then which one will root it, but leabe everything intact if any? I dont want to change my radio, or the rom.

I am sorry if I am asking too much, but the rom has no sim at the moment and just playing with it everything works beautifully, even the gps works instantly because its properly using agps.

Thanks for the answers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
If you want to remove the ATT bloatware you will have to root. You don't have to root to sideload. Just download the sideload wonder machine found in the dev section. As for rooting id suggest using the hack kit. Ive rooted 4 phones with it. First use the simple gold card maker. Then download the hack kit and follow the instructions in the read me file. Att1 has made it pretty simple. Then flash cleardroid stock rooted rom. All the bloatware is already removed. Its really stable. Good luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
What about the simple one click program instead of the hack kit?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I have never used it myself so i cant give advice on it. That being said several thousand people have so im sure it will work fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slocav:
I'm glad you asked this question because I want to do the same thing I want to keep my phone stock and just root so I to can delete ATT crap and to edit my build.prop file because ATT pissed me off today telling me my speeds are slower than my friends 3gs because his has more storage space. Wtf. We ran speedtest app on both Phones to the same server and every single time his ran double or more on download speeds. ATT told me its the device doing it. IPhone fan boys is all I can say.

Anyway is there a easy way. I rooted my old aria with the unrevoked root. Super easy. Does the inspire have a easy way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
No true one click. I find the hack kit to be the best for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
I used bubby's one click method. Very simple, and there is a youtube video of it as well. Watch the entire video first so you have an idea of whats going on then go through the video while rooting. (not, downplaying the hack kit, i have never tried it) And for what its worth i too wanted a stock rom and chose Two pump chumps rom (Its a stock inspire rom -bloatware and improved a bit) and lee droids kernel, which gives a slight sound boost and smooths things a bit more imho. Good luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slocav:
So if I do the root do you have to flash a Rom to delete bloatware? If I have to do a ROM the one posted above will it have sound issues etc? Thanks a ton.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
should be receiving my Inspire tomorrow....coming from the captivate section, this is definitely a little different. I have a quick question though...

The hack kit is used to enable s-off, temp-root, flash a rom that allows use of an old exploit, then permaroot. Once permarooted and CWM recovery has been flashed, any rom from the dev section can be flashed which will keep the root.

My question is, this process only has to be done once, correct?? All future roms will be flashed via CWM recovery, and there won't be ANY need to return to the stock ATT Inspire, unrooted rom??

I ask because with the Galaxy S/Captivate/etc it is usually recommended to flash back to stock before flashing a different custom rom, which means you lose root. I usually didn't that, and never had a problem, but i'm just trying to get a grasp on how this process differs from the Captivate. I will be GLAD to have a phone that can simply be cleared and flashed via CWM for all rom purposes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
All i know is bubby's method, and with it, it gives you root but its just like when you bought it. Now i think you can use clockwork mod or something to manually delete the bloat from there, but for the trouble its easier to flash a new rom that has it already done for you, and get a few bonuses with it. The one i suggested has given me no problems and is a ton faster than it was stock, although your phone may be different.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
yes, the only need to go back is if you have to do a warranty return. Technically rooting voids the warranty, but if you undo it whos to know the difference ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
i actually meant to say "won't need to return to stock unless for warranty"...but yes i gotcha! thanks.

Like i said, although the Captivate seems more "open" or easier to root and such...in the end, this is going to be a MUCH better flashing technique compared to samsung phones. Everyone is always so worried about flashing to stock, doing this, doing that....
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
i guess i do have one last question....

it seems to be disputable at whether or not you need to do a factory reset/clear data within the CWM recovery during a new flash. When is it necessary and when can this be skipped?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
Anytime your flashing a rom you need to do a full wipe, a benefit of CWM is it gives you the option when you start to flash anything to do one of 2 things A: being backup current rom, and B:full wipe.

So assuming you have a good backup already (if not do a backup before this step), just check the box for a full wipe and let it do the magic.

After getting the rom you want and you just want to flash a kernel, batterymod, etc then you only want to make a backup, you will not need to wipe at that point.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
sounds good...thanks for all the help, Bamatide. Roll Tide!

I think i was just confused with the update process from within a rom, in which most dev's say it is ok to not wipe data in between updates. Flashing to a different rom requires the full wipe though everytime.

Just curious, but what happens if a full wipe is NOT done in between flashes? Is it just buggy or are there other problems?
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
The reason for a full wipe is because there could be conflicts between the two rom's where you could end up with just a bootloop and then you would need to do a wipe.

If you want there is a very simple way to do a full wipe, go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996383 and download the zip, this makes it very simple to do. I keep it on my sd card because I like to change rom's and this makes it very easy.

As for rooting I have tried both programs and found that Bubby's was the easy way to go, with the hack kit you have to be able to use the command prompt on the computer and with Bubby's it does it for you. I am not a whiz with command prompt that is why I did not use the hack kit.

I hope this helps especially the one click wipe, it work's great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slocav:
So with buddy's do you have to make the gold card what ever that is lol. I didn't have to do anything like that on my old aria and was curious. Also can someone make a sticky that explains what s-off is and what radio s-off etc. I didn't have any of that on my aria and I would like to know what they mean.

And to the op I'm sorry to thread jack but it was the exact same question I had. Hope you don't mind I'm asking on top of yours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Don't be sorry most of us would rather you search then start a new thread. As for which method to use, essentially they are the same except the "one click" does most of the dos commands for you. Both downgrade your rom and radio and use that as an exploit, to root and s-off the phone.

Now problems people run into, there still seems to be a problem with CWM and the one click. For this reason I will recommend the Hack Kit, its nothing against bubby but it is sad to see the same "cwm blank screen" thread resurrected everyday.

Essentially s-on is Security on meaning you cannot flash unsigned roms. Radio s-off essentially allows you to flash custom roms. To flash a stock rooted rom you will need s-off.

With both methods you will need a gold card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
S-off also does away with the Gold card, once you get S-off you can format the SD card be done with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slocav:
Awesome thanks for the explanation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Okay I'm sorry I was away and its the first time I got to a computer, and No problems asking slocav we're all here to learn.

Now the only question I have is when readin this is the fact that I have to downgrade. Is this just to get s-off that I have to do this? Because like I said, I want to keep my radio and rom without changes, because it does work very well. And I have heard people having trouble with either gps, or sluggishness or something. This is the specs of the phone:

Android 2.2.1

Baseband 12.39.60.19H_26.06.04.06_M

Kernel: 2.6.32.21

Build 1.80.502.3

Software 1.80.502.3

As long as I can have this, then I'll be happy, cause again like I said, I'm not looking to switch and change roms, at least not now.

And as for sideloading apps, from what I read it works but it doesnt get updated from market, which I would like it to interact and let me know when an update is there.

If I can achieve this, and if hack kit will do this, wonderful.

And as for the built in CWR of the inspire, will it work once its rooted? because I get the triangle screen, but hitting volume up and power then brings me to a menu to install updates wipe data etc, or does another CWR get flashed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ramy717:
I used Buddy's method and watched the video first. It was very easy to do and I highly recommend it. Since it roots your phone and returns it to stock I can't imagine anybody having problems with audio or the gps, I didn't.

The downgrade that you are referring to is to get root access. After that, the original stuff is restored. If you use Buddy's method, this is all done for you and easy. When it is done, you will have your phone that is

exactly

like you got from the at&t store except that you will have 4 additional items on it. They are rom manager, cwm, super user and I think titanium backup.

To remove the at&t crap I used titanium backup to delete the stuff I did not want.

Some suggestions if you are going to use Buddy's method:

It easy, do it.

Find a time to do this when you will not be interrupted.

Watch the video first.

Run Buddy's program and make your gold card using the sd card in the phone. Don't forget to copy your pictures off of it or you will lose them.

Backup your contacts before starting and copy them to your pc also.

The entire process of watching the video and rooting your phone takes about 30 minutes (if I remember correctly). When it is done, you will spend more time removing the crap from at&t.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
If you use the hack kit it will push cwr to your device. Flash a Custom Rom like Clear Droid and you will have the same specs as listed above. All of the custom roms have unknown sources enabled so you can download what ever apps you want. Once you use the hack kit make sure you open rom manager and flash recovery 3.0.0.6 then flash the new rom of choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
So then the CWR thats already in there will be replaced, guess even after being rooted it still wont install 'update.zip"? Cause like I said hitting the volume up and the power brings up a CWR menu.

And I watched bubby's video before, seemed painless :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Don't worry about update. Zip once you root and flash recovery you will be fine.
[Xperia Play General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Hello, Im sure everyone is aware of the Xperia Play games currently on the market. Since most of us dont have an Xperia Play yet, I have an idea. Couldnt we just edit our build.props to trick the market into thinking our phone is an Xperia Play?? It seems entirely plausible to me, how else would the market know what phone it was?

So far, Ive only edited the fingerprint, as I understand that is the only information read by the market on other phones, but im sure there is something else going on here. Have a look and lets figure this out together!

ro.build.fingerprint=Sony-Ericsson/zeus/GRH78C:2.3.2/3.0.E.2.52/user/test-keys

The only part I am unsure about is the build number, es209ra, that is the stock build from an X10. I have been scouring the net for information and the best ive found is the about phone screen.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redct:
So, I was feeling a bit experimental and decided to try and flash the MIUI preview. I got MIUI running (looking great btw) and decided to try and flash back to 2.2 and Trigger.

At this point, things started going slightly pear shaped. I (foolishly) tried to restore from a Nandroid backup instead of Odin-ing back to stock and then going from there. Yikes! I got into a "Vibrant screen" boot loop from there and managed to get myself back into CWM3 (orange). From there, I managed to get into download mode—except Odin isn't flashing any ROM no matter what I do. After leaving it running for about two hours straight, I finally got fed up and closed Odin and now I can't get the phone back into CWM—only what seems to be a broken download mode. Help!

Hi

I haven't access to market so I installed 'Rom Manager' apk file by HTC Sync and downloaded clockwork recovery image for DHD (recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-ace.img).

How could I flash it manually? In this case do we use Rom Manager to flash clockwork manually too?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
You can flash it directly in rom manager itself. Allready tried this?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 187j3x1:
yes, you can flash recovery with rom manager or in the old fashioned way, adb and fastboot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghandil:
Hmmm, How? any choice of rom manager will try to download clockwork while returns error that can't download. does it try to download from market? also already I have 'recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-ace.img' on SD, just don't know how flash it.

Could you please explain adb and fastboot method in details?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
Have you done eng S-OFF? If so, search the DHD android developement section for the radio flash tool(i'll search for it and post the link in a few minutes) and download it. Then run the start here.bat(i think this is its name). Copy the cwm .img to the folder of the radio update tool and rename it to recovery.img. then connect your device to your computer with usb debugging on and type "adb reboot bootloader" in the command prompt you opened before. When your device has finished to boot into bootloader, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Wait till its finished and then type "adb reboot".

Worked fine for me, so it should do the same for you ;)

I thought recoveries are different form radio so can't flash them in the same way.

Is CWM a radio too? :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
No, thats why you use "fastboot flash RECOVERY recovery.img"

If you flash it as a radio it could possibly brick your device

I'm unsure what version of Darktremor a2sd it is but I assuming the non-beta. So far, I can gurantee the Dalvik Cache is installing to SD, great. However my apps are not moving to SD on initially install and my internal is now slowly going down. I have tried the commands su a2sd reinstall and a install. I've done the check and confirm no a2sd flag are found on the sd card for this to work. How do I go about enabling this option so future installed apps will automatically go to the SD without me having to manually move them?
