New way to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1

Njaz, without making the goldcard the img file wasn't detected by hboot!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Interesting. I had the engineering ESPRG (as well as update.zip) on my SD before the ADB method tried to push that particular file. I wonder now if me manually placing the image on the SD card was the reason I had success with super one click/ultra easy rooter method. I certainly did not have a gold card. Probably just another "not all slides are the same" situation.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MDSkinner:
This is interesting and I will say that I also had the ESPRG and update.zip already on my SD card and I certainly did not have a gold card either. This alternative method for downgrading first was incredibly easy but I am not sure what all has to be in place for it to happen.

For me, I had just received a replacement Slide directly from T-Mobile and just used my sd card (which had all the stuff from my previously rooted slide in place) and it all worked like a charm.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] :
You said you manually placed the image on the sd card. Where did you get the image? If you could provide a link that would be excellent.. Just starting out with rooting. I've only rooted the original mytouch and now trying to get my mytouch 3G slide rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thaks

The CM wiki does have a live link to the Engineering Recovery package however its an img file, is that right? I cant seem to open it to get the files out of it. I believe that's the file that should contain flash_image and mtd0.img correct? Am I misunderstanding some of this, may have to look into the other root method I guess.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poormanq45:
Wait a minute.

You're supposed to gain temp root.

Boot into hboot and flash the. Img file.

Don't reboot

Boot into recovery

Use the update.zip to get into CWM

Once in CWM flash the rom of your choice

Once that is done use the alpharev cd to get s-off and permanently flash CWM

Thank you

Thanks for this write-up. This worked for me finally. My issues involved not being able to use the exploid exploit (sqlite_stmt_journals could not be accessed/written to/etc) and the other issue was a failed [insert any other shell root exploit here].

Please note that superoneclick never actually gave me a success message. it stopped at step 3 (as it did my previous device before exchanging and as it did with any computer I attempted this on) but hitting shell root again on superoneclick it showed that it did in fact have root and I could continue. I did this on the drivers that came with HTC Sync, though I'm pretty sure the same will work with PDANet's drivers. Thank you for ending my dozens of hours of attempts of rooting this newly received warranty replacement and getting me Cyanogen.

I did use a goldcard. From what I can tell, you WILL need this when flashing esprimg. There are many small things missing from this tut and I've exhausted myself and don't care to make a full followup, but I'll be subscribed to this post and I hope I can answer some questions along the way for anyone else in the same situation as I was.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Now, I haven't cared too much about Nandroid backups since nothing is too important for me to save, and I'm running a different ROM almost every day... But what do Nandroid backups backup ? Just the ROM? ROM and data + Kernel ? And If I do a full wipe and I have a Nandroid backup, do I have to Flash the ROM first, then flash the Nandroid over it? Or can I just full wipe and flash the nandroid?

Nandroid isn't something I use a lot (or at all), so this is kinda odd to me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
A nandroid backup is essentially an image of your entire phone. The entire OS, phonebook, messages, settings...everything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Awesome, so I can just flash the nandroid right after a full wipe, correct?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Yep, absolutely. Just don't forget that only CWM 3.0.0.6 can flash and restore anything. The other versions are limited to Froyo or Gingerbread, not both.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Yeah I know, I flashed 3.0.0.6 the second i saw it did both ROMs, I haven't had a problem since ^_^ But thanks !

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Folks, the hidden menu under the Dell EM app has been cracked open. Here is how to get to it. Its still stupid of Dell to have a convoluted way to get get to it.

1. GO to EM app on your DVP (dial ##634# - if u haven't done so to make the app appear under apps)

2. Open physical keypad

3. Double tap the blank dark area of the screen (below the MMS settings)

4. On the physical keyboard, press each of the first row buttons (qwertyuiop)

5. This should open up the advanced menu.

Same password to get to the RD Test and Protocol - *#6336#

Be careful when using the Chinese language menu's. It will make the app language as Chinese. You can always exit and come back to the app.

New features:

Nothing much except one important feature - File Browser (Windows Explorer)

Registry Editor - still doesn't work for writing and only good for reading.

How to Get to File Browser:

1. Go to RD Test. In the input box type *#6336#

This will open up RD test page.

2. Scroll to the bottom and click About EM. This will open up SORRY APPLICATION.

3. In the empty input box, type 983. This will open up the file browser.

The Explorer is so slow and might crash the app.

Note:The above steps only works for the DVP's that have the new EM App and updated FW version - 2250.1800.7355.205 and beyond or close to that.

If you try to load the new EM App in the current DVP's, it will not work for the new features.

Built-in file explorer

Thanks for the info on the built-in file explorer.

One thing I have noticed is it shows more files and directories than other methods of looking at the files (like using the web server app).

I can see files in the root as well as many other directories.

For example, when I open the file explorer I see:

Storage Card\

Windows\

Temp\

Application Data\

mxip_notify.vol

Applications\

mxip_system.vol

My Documents\

Program Files\

Wallpapers\

DOCFILE\

and more...

I am not sure that it is helpful, but it is different.

Just figured it from the xap file i got. The new FW is supposed to be the one ending in .206 unless they changed something to fix the crash issues. I doubt it :(
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
The AT&T FW is 209 and heard the FW update from Dell maybe 210.

Guess time will tell.. just wish MS would open the OS for side loading OR someone crack it again (Ala Chevron).

Also notice the colors in some videos and pictures seem to reduce color resolution.. is that just me..? Can't find a thread on it.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:

[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
While there hasn't been much mention of it here on the DVP forum did notice its a topic of conversation for ALL NoDo phones.

http://windowsphonereview.com/wp7/color-banding-fix/

Havent tried the fix though..

BTW I have to disagree that its even 16 BIT the color looks horrible.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
the FW 210 is the Open Market phone. 209 is AT&T, 206 is North America. The 206 build was most likely built in January with the 7355 build of the OS. I have the FW 206 and its dated early March. I'm hoping the new FW that is eventually released will be a newer build...but its looking like 206 for now.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I thought MS put out a statement about this....something about the Os being optimized at a certain color depth and some OEMs had upped that. The last update brought it all back to the optimized. I think I read it on Engadget....and was mostly evident on the HTC devices....or maybe it was Samsung.....but all were rolled back.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Well its VERY evident on the DVP... and I think has caused problems with certian video codecs as well.

[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
Hey,

I'm new to android dev (extremely) but I'm not new to software dev, but I'm very confused.

So here's my end objective: To capture a photo and be able to edit it at the pixel level.

I'm completely lost in how to do that. Okay, let me rephrase, not completely lost. PLEASE don't link me to a bunch of tutorials, I've read them all.

I'm lost on a few apparently key concepts:

- SurfaceView - What exactly IS a surface? I read the doc from android dev for it, but I'm not quite grasping it. Is it just used to display or subclass it for OpenGL, or picture viewports? Or is there more to it?

- Every camera tutorial mentions subclassing surface.holder, implementing canvas methods methods (changed, create, destroyed), and that's that - which is fine, if you're going to preview an image there, which I want...but what about taking the actual picture, that leads me to..

- StartPreview function, what the hell does this thing do, all it does is crash my phone, I don't want to "preview" anything, I want to take a picture using the built in camera activity, and store in a surface, do whatever pixel manipulations I need, and possibly write it back out to the SDCard

What does the preview have to do with anything? Every tutorial (including android's includes it), but I can't figure out for the life of me what the thing does...I could see if you wanted a camera viewport in your app, but I don't.

Now what I DID do was start the camera activity using the intent, then store the callback "data" into the surface, the problem with this, though, is it's EXTREMELY pixelated, the image previewed in the surface is of horrible quality, like it's a thumbnail. What gives? I used this code:

Bitmap thumbNail = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
mImageViewer.setImageBitmap(thumbNail);

So yeah, sorry the questions are so sparsed out, just been confused as hell and am unfortunately on a truncated time table - nobody's been able to explain anything so far, just have what I have from playing with it..

TIA, sorry for the long post
