[HTC Incredible S] Snapdrag0n:
I got an Incredible S with OTA_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.38.707.1 -> 2.12.707.5 update on it, and as i understand i need to flash a RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7 first to get an S-OFF using AlfaRev and then Root, right? And what should I do next?

How do I install ClockworkMod Recovery and how do I use it? Never used custom ROMs before=(

Can anyone give me a link with some detailed instruction?

Also, there is an 手写 input method in Touch Input for chinese characters handwriting in the Asian version of HTC official firmware, and is there any opportunity to get it in any custom ROM (Android Revolution HD or CoreDroid)?

Cause Google Pinyin and gPen are not even a half good as HTC Touch Input

Besides, i really want to save all of my SMS, but how can i do that? Cause i can't get an S-OFF and Root without flashing a RUU which will wipe all my user data including messages... Is there any solution for that?

Thanks for any help!=)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hi,

I think downgrading your firmware with your s-on phone won't work anymore. Where have you read that you need that? But I'm not up to date concerning alpharevx... will go have a look now..

About clockworkmod recovery et.c. it's really easy. Don't worry.

But first save your sms ;)

Download goSMSpro from the market (it's completely free) and save all your sms on your sdcard..

Maybe you can also use his other products (starting with 'go') as (I think) he's from asia, there might be good support for your language...
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Did you already try alpharevx and it failed? I ask because your version number actually IS lower than the one mentioned which doesn't work with alpharevx.

You can try installing the au/optus ruu.. But I guess it won't succeed as your version number is higher than the virgin/optus one..

But you can try it.

Just follow the guide in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130346

Good luck!!
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Sorry for may be a noob question, but how to "open a terminal"?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Does Superuser really crash for you?

Did you try updating it from the market?

If you didn't, please try to update it to latest version first.

To open a terminal (console): on windows xp: click on start and then run. Put cmd.exe inside the textbox and press enter.

On Windows7 just put cmd inside the search textbox directly above the "start button"
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Hello,

thank you for quick reply.

OK, I didn't know that it's called "terminal".

I'm sure it's crashing ( tried on sever apps which require root).

When I tried to replace the files I receive this message :

"rm failed for /sdcard/replace_files, No such file or directory"

Any advice? May be it's possible to come back to "pre-root" and root with the patched version?

Thank you again!
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Did you try upgrading/installing superuser from the market first already?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
And sorry for the dumb question, but did you extract replace_su first (all the files) or did you just open it and klicked on the file?

You need to extract the whole zip first..

If that doesn't work either,

Just download the patched SuperOneClick and let it run a second time.. You don't need to "unroot" first ;)
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Yes I've tried to install it from market, but : I don't see SuperUser in "My Apps" in Market and when I try do download it, the installing fails ( not downloading but installing)

Yes I did extract the whole archive and run it from the command line (terminal)

When I try to run the patched SuperOneClick:

First an error occured ....

Then ...

WOOOOHOOOO!!!! IT SEEMS TO WORK NOW!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

( I'm glad to have donated :) )
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much :)

Glad you got it working!

Now you can finally have fun with some custom roms ;)
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Can you downgrade from Gingerbread to Froyo if you manually downgrade the radio before hand? I heard that the radio is what prevents the downgrade.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
If you are S-OFF: yes, of course,

S-ON: I have no clue I must admit ;) Why don't you try it using timbo007up's guide using the misc_version exploit?
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
:) Thank you for the information! So I can try out the Optus rom then return to the Sasktel rom(closest to my orginal Bell rom) if it's buggy or the radio is slow? Awesome.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
So you are S-OFF?

Sorry still not 100% awake.
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Well, I'm AlphaRevX S-OFF, then went to ENG S-OFF, and I just deleted the hboot from the official GB rom so it wont revert me back...
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
That's great, I think you should be able to do it this way then:

My phone is rebooting!

I rooted my IS a couple of days ago and then flashed the "Virtuous Unity 1.26.0 Sense 3.0"-ROM. After it hade stalled a few times I did a complete wipe and then I re-installed it. Now it has worked well for a few days but today it started to reboot itself every now and then. What could this be? Does anyone have similar problems with this ROM?

I have not done anything with the radio or the kernel, could that solve the problem or is the ROM I have to reinstall / replace?

/ / W
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hi,

that's probably because the overclocking and/or undervolting, which is enabled by default.

You could try removing the oc daemon or tweaking its settings to use default clocks. But that's also no guarantee that it will work, because it might be a clock/voltage setting with the kernel.

If you want you can try another kernel without oc stuff in it..

Then the oc daemon wouldn't work...

Post here or send me a pm if you want to try that
[HTC Incredible S] naitsabes_egdol:
I would be more than grateful if you could help me with this. Sometimes it also hangs and then I have to remove the battery and restart the phone that way.

Which kernel would you recommend or would it be sufficient to use SetCPU?

/W
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
No you shall not use setCPU since virtuos unity uses its own overclocking daemon. This would interfere with setCPU.

So 1st question: Do you still have setCPU installed? If so, remove it and see if your system is stable then!

If you experience the reboots without setCPU being installed let me know.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
In case your sudden reboot problems continue after you have removed setCPU, you could try the following: flash the attached file and try another kernel.

It changes your kernel to the same I use in the recovery which is 99,99% MDJ's kernel, but with standard clocks/voltages.

Drivers for wifi are included, but others like CIFS and OpenVPN aren't. Those are drivers needed for features not included in any official rom and the vast majority of ppl don't use them at all. Cifs is for support of mounting / sharing shares over the network (smb/windows), OpenVPN is something to create a secure tunnel to your (corporate) network over the internet.

I didn't build these, since the recovery doesn't use them anyway.. whereas the wifi driver, though recovery doesn't use that either, is built automatically..

Please report back if this solved your problems..

Of course it would be better to just tune the oc daemon to work for your particular device.

I haven't looked carefully at it, but of course you can set it to use only default clocks. But I don't know if you can change voltages too..

IF not, then you MIGHT still experience problems with default clocks, since the kernel supports undervolting and I think it should undervolt when on stock clocks or lower to save more power...

I'd recommend trying it with this kernel first. If that solves the problem for you, then you know it's most likely a clock/voltage problem and you can take a closer look at how to changing the behaviour of the oc daemon!
[HTC Incredible S] naitsabes_egdol:
Thank you very much! I have removed SetCPU, will test it and see if it works better. I find it hard to believe that it will make any difference because I never started SetCPU, it was a program that was left over from my old phone.

But I try and see if it works, will reply!

Thanks!

ROM.zip not valid?

Hi I downloaded

RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned

When I go into my temp folder and try to extract the zip file. It says it cannot.

I've already tried, another download, another computer, winzip and rar...

How can I get this files?

I need to to this because I have a Canadian Bell IS. So I need to change the content of one of those files.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
After you download the file, you actually have to run it. Let the first screen come up and then leave it open. You can then browse the temp folder and find the ROM.zip file. Copy it from the temp folder to a different folder, because once you close the RUU application, the file will be deleted from the temp folder.
[HTC Incredible S] aresguerrero:
Hi tpbklake

That is exactly what I did. I kept the installer running, then copied the ROM to my desktop. Then, when I try to unzip, I get an error saying that the file is invalid.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Very strange. It is named rom.zip right?

Try it with 7-zip (www.7-zip.org)
[HTC Incredible S] aresguerrero:
Hi tpbklake

I tried with winzip, 7 zip, winrar... nothing works... any ideas?

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
So you copied the ROM.zip file from the temporary directory to another directory. I am able to open a ROM.zip file using both 7-zip and winrar.

Perhaps you can try extracting, copying and trying to unzip it again.
[General Questions and Answers] kptnk:
Hello everybody !

I have a huge problem here with my NS, I hope you could help me : I installed this CM7 Final 3 days ago, and everything was fine until I decided to do Nandroid backup. The backup went fine, but when the phone has reboot, I had immediatly this error message : "Sorry, the process com.android.phone has suddenly stopped. thanks to try again". Abd this message appears every 3 seconds, anbd I can't do anything....plus I have no signal, no radio, no network. Another strange point is that we I reboot the phone, it never ask me to enter my PIN code .....

First thing I did was to restor my system from Rom Manager, but the same problem appeared. Then I tried to restore the system manually with the recovery, and same problem.

I don't what to do now ; the only solution I imagine now is to wipe everything and reinstall CM7 .....but I wish I could find another way...

Thanks for your kind help (and sorry for my english, I'm french).
[Android Software Development] Namheul:
Im new to android development, and have run into a weird problem.

Im trying to make an app that grabs some content off the web and displays it to the user.

In doing so, it is throwing an exception, complaining that it cant find the address.

This is the code:

public void blah()
{
HttpURLConnection con = null;
URL url;
try
{
url = new URL(<any url in here>);
con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setReadTimeout(10000);
con.setConnectTimeout(15000);
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
con.connect();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
}
}

It ends up in the catch block, with the message:

Unable to resolve host "<url here>"; No address associated with hostname.

It does this if i test with the emulator and if i test directly on my Xoom.

If i open any app on my Xoom that uses the internet (browser, words with friends etc) they work fine.

Is there something i need to setup in the AVD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oscarbum:
I just rooted my Inspire. I'm trying to flash a ROM for the first time using ROM Manager. It says I need CWM Recovery installed before continuing. But it is installed as far as I can tell, it is. There's a folder for it on the SD card. I tried using Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it causes Superuser to force close.

I've search every string of words I can think of and none of the threads coming up are related to my issue. Fast Boot is off. Debugging is on. I'm new to flashing ROMs, so I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, but it is REALLY pissing me off.

One of the threads did mention a superuser zip file needing to be in the root directory of the SD card. I don't see one in mine, so I won't be shocked if that's the problem. But then, it becomes a matter of finding where to download that zip.

Please help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
You need to reinstall su.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oscarbum:
It's not letting me install it for whatever reason.

There is a certain irony that running "Fix Permissions" to solve the force close issue CAUSES Superuser to force close.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
did you unzip the file? What rom are you running? Do have sdk?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oscarbum:
I unzipped the file. Moved to the SD. Tried installing it from there. Yes, I have permissions set to install from non-market sources.

I'm running, presumably, the AT&T stock ROM, unless the Simple Root S-Off program installed something different.

Don't know the answer to the SDK question.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Have you tried to clear out the 'data' for 'Superuser' application under application settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
As said try clearing data and cache.

If that doesn't work.

Uninstall su.

Download anrdoid SDK

Cope all the files from platform tools to tools

place su apk in tools folder

shift+right click on the tools folder, open command promp

use adb to push apk

adb devices( make sure it is connected)
adb remount
adb push ./(name of app) /system/app
[HTC Inspire 4G] oscarbum:
Here's a possible reason I'm having a problem.

When I did the root, I used a spare SD card to make the gold card. I've been trying to flash a ROM with my regular SD card. Could that be what's causing it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
no, the gold card is only needed to downgrade the radio/rom and pass the CID check.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oscarbum:
So here's where I'm at....

It won't let me install the superuser fix above.

It won't let me uninstall superuser.

I even purchased the pro version for the Market, hoping that it might install a version over the version flashed there and that doesn't force close every freaking time I try to do anything in ROM manager.

In the meantime, I miss about 50% of the texts, emails and notifications on my phone because, of course, I don't HEAR them. And the bloatware is bogging down the phone.

So, are there any suggestions before I walk outside and throw this phone into the Atlantic Ocean?

I use CWM 2.5.0.7 and when I try to Nandroid backup, it backups everything except for the cache.

I get this error:

also if I try to mount the SD-EXT from the recovery I get this error:

Error mounting SDEXT:!

I tried to search a bit but the only thing I got that seemed to be relevant is this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924371

Some say that it's USB brick (which I don't think I have), and some say that it's because there is something wrong about the partitions of the SD, but I couldn't find an absolute solution for this.

Of course I don't want to flash anything until I can fully backup my device.

If it's relevant, I'm not S-OFFed.

Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Common error, if the card has no EXT partition or it is wrongly partitioned. Suggesting to backup everything from your card, re-partition it (at least EXT3) with GParted.

BTW, What Desire you have? If it is PVT4 (shown in the bootloader), then you must use AmonRA 2.0.0 or higher for maximum compatibility.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1gdrag0n:
Thanks for the answer.

The card was first partitioned with GParted, but I guess something went wrong.

I will partition my card again, soon I hope, and return with results.

My desire is not PVT4.

Hi,

I've tried to integrate some apps using Titanium Backup but it stuch at 0% for more than 5mins so I cancelled the process. Is it normal that it was that slow? Does Titanium generate odex files too?

I've tried integrating updates for GoogleMaps, StreetView and Youtube using a recovery mode and ADB on my linux machine.

After the backup system data I've deleted original apk and odex files from /system/app/ and moved newer versions from /data/app/ to /system/app/.

I renamed the files from com.google.android.blah.blah.apk to old names (ie. Maps.apk, etc). I haven't generated the odex files.

Rebooted the phone (HTC Desire, 2.2, Orange UK) and these apps were not available. I couldn't run either GoogleMaps or Youtube. They weren't on the "All apps" list, but still were in the system app manager/uninstaller, but couldn't uninstall them as they were in system obviously.

Tried to clear Dalvik cache but no difference.

Then I've copied them with my user backed apk files (it went to /data/app and installed the newest versions) and all is fine - could launch them as usual.

Now using "adb push" method I copied my old system versions of these apps in the /system/app/ and all if fine. I could updated them to newer versions, but this obviously went to /data/app/, so didn't free the phone memory.

Any idea why integrated apps were not visible in the system?

Perhaps I shall just delete the old system apps and copy the ones from /data/app/ without renaming...

Much appreciate it.

Greg

edit:

All went fine now. Just deleted old files in the /system/app and moved newer version without renaming to from /data/app :)

Hi all, please help me decide if i should get the this or the lg 2x... Is this phone still good and powerful enough or should i be looking to the dual cores? This phone isnt a high end device anymore, so htc arent supporting it with updates (sense 3.0) that has really dissapoimted me as i was looking forward to the update and the hardware is capable of using it. Its just htcs scam to squeeze morr profits,,

Help please?

So is it worth it? Or should i get the lg2x... I heard it has some bugs though..

ThAnks
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i doubt the hardware of the DS is enough for sense 3.0 because on one of the videos that i saw of sense 3.0 the dual core seemed to lagg a bit (or it could be sense is still under development & needs works)

i saw a few threads about random reboot on lg 2x

but if you want a dual core why not consider htc sensation or evo 3d?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the speedy reply! There is some controversy over sense 3.0 requirements. Over at the dhd forums,they have a port of sense 3.0! It is apparently working smooth! So htc could have been lying! Of course i would want official updates rather than a custom ROM, therefore i hope htc will release sense 3.0.

I hope lg fix the random reboot problem. The lg has been known to have mAny bugs!

I cannot consider the evo, because 1) i live in uk

2) i dislike 3d screens!

The sensation looks good, but i cAnt afford it, therfore i wad looking for a cheap dual core altenative - lg 2x.

Ideally if i could have a dualcore, id like the sgs 2! Thanks for opinions, but would you recommend this phone?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i dont have the phone yet so i cant comment much about it...

but i think im still getting this phone because

1.i hate LG

2.i love htc sense (a custom rom is good enough actually its better for me)

3.LG service is VERY bad in my area (it gives me headaches)

4.i really dont need a dual core now as i am not going to play a lot of games & dont mind a little lag in videos

i am considering samsung galaxy s2 but wont be getting it if the price is a bit high...(cant push my budget beyond 550 USD)

i also found a post on lg otimus 2x forum saying that it gets stuck during playback (this probably will get fixed as it is a software issue)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks! I have just been reading some threads here, and i may have changed my mind! The ds is quite good! There will be no real need of dual cores as many phones wont be supported yet with dual core. And the ds is cheap at o2 now (i suspect it will be even cheaper by summer!)

You say you like htc sense... But are you bothered about not getting the sense 3.0 update?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yes i am bothered a bit

a custom sense 3.0 rom would be good :)

it is just that i dont consider the difference between sense 2.1 & sense 3.0 a dealbreaker (atleast for now from the engadget preview of sense 3.0)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh hopefully! My dilema is to boast that i have a dual core high end phone, thats buggy, or i have a great phone, but is standard mid range....

Decisions!
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i think you should also consider the forum community

lg optimus 2x has quite a large community unlike the DS community(hope it gets bigger :D)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh, i guess i hav to consider that! I just saw some comparison vids with the 2x and dhd (same specs at ds) and the dual core isnt really that benificial. It beats the dhd by 1-2 secs in web pages, not much at all!! I exoected much more! If thats the case, i'll settle for the ds!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Actually realy considering thd phone now!! Watch all the phonearena vids, they are awesome and make you wamt the phone more!

Only concern is the small screen, coming from a 4.1 screen... And imo, the design isntas nice as the hd2 industrial square shape design!!

What do you guys think?
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
i cant believe what im reading

at full usage a dual core is min. 2x as powerful as a single core

i didnt even start about graphics

snapdragon - y operations per second

x>2y

therefore if pages are stored on the phone, they will open 2 times faster
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thanks, but that is not the case! if you watch some vids speed test of tegra 2 vs snapdragon, the spees are both the same! the 2x occsionally beats the dhd (snapdragon) by only 1-2 secs, not alot faster!
