1) Yes, It passes signature check but only on hboot mode not with ruu :(

2) Now i'm trying this:

>>First Install WWE ROM which give hboot 1.01.0001 downgraded ;)

>>Then Install Regional ROM (I'll prefer India) which gives hboot 1.01.0002 but when in hboot mode remove sd card and replace pc49img with eclair's pc49img now i think as the signature is checked it'll definetely install hboot thinking as new one so hboot will be 0.80.xxxx not yet tried i'll confirm after doing ;)
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
One more thing i think HTC uploads the image to the phone then checks the signature then do the update :(
[Wildfire General] :
I doubt whether it works or not. but have a try. good luck.

and one more thing, if ur phone was an Indian manufactured one, then u cannot directly install WWE RUU. it says customer id error. I think u will have to use the process by OP on this thread. I haven't done that.
[Wildfire General] :
no.

when done from hboot mode (and even ruu ) the signature check occurs first and then uploads the image to phone. That is how the bypassing is possible from hboot mode.
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
In fastboot but i've downgraded already without CUSTOMER_ID error ;)
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
Thanks for this let me do it what i was to do... :)
[Wildfire General] :
ohh. That gave me customer I'd error. ok that doesn't matter. go on with ur process.
[Wildfire General] alvaritolalala:
Could this be the CID error you solve by editing the misc partition? the first 8 digits are the backup cid, change them to 11111111 for example and try again!
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
It doesn't bypass Signature check :(

1> It'll upload PC49IMG.zip to memory

2> It'll say Vol up to start Vol down to abort

3> Here you remove memory card and press vol up it'll extract and update normally and doesn't check memory card :(
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
One more thing:

Whenever you mount /system as rw change recovery image file if u can find that as after u change u get some time before it restarts automatically till that just type this command:

adb reboot recovery

It'll directly jump into recovery mode and hboot is not loaded so no files are changed till phone completely restarts.

I dont know where recovery image is else i would have tried it...
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
too bad. Confirm by anybody?

Normally it will not work. The NAND protection doens't allow anything to be written down, not even for one single moment. If you try (and keep trying) to mount system as rw, the NAND causes an overflow error which makes your system reboot before anything has changed. So even if you boot directly into recovery, nothing has happend because before the reboot, you haven't written anything down in the phone memory.

Correct me if (hopefully) I'm wrong!

But you can try anyway, no piece of security software is fully bullet proof :-)

Erwin
[Wildfire General] :
No its not possible to skip the signature check. SORRY

No its not possible to skip the signature check. SORRY

I think, it first pushes the update files to phone and then checks the signature and then prompts to install the software. @lokeshramesh u r absolutely right. I found this after many unsuccesful trials with pushing the custom recovery........

TO CONFIRM THIS DO THIS.

Copy the official ota pc49img.zip to root of memory card. Then when it prompts to press vol up , just remove the memory card.

Now there is no memory card in the phone. Now press vol up and it installs the update.

I thought that it was reading from the memory card while updating. BUT NO. It gave me a lot enthusiasm, but at the end it is nothing................

[This must be the same case with the pc49diag.nbh in the other thread. Check it by removing the memory card and going with the process.]
[Wildfire General] :
ohh. @lokeshramesh u have already posted that. didnt see that. OK....

That means nothing and we are again at the starting point.
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
No way that we can communicate with the phone while it is in the status waiting for conformation? Perhaps it "listins' to the usb of you can mount the system somehow trough adb, so you can replace the loaded (signed) file.

Long shot, I know..
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
I think its possible to communicate with phone thru fastboot but there's no use i think.:(
[Wildfire General] xd.bx:
Hey guys,

Did you see in the other thread the PC49diag.nbh swapping trick? Not tried it but this could be a nice avenue for attack.
[Wildfire General] alvaritolalala:
perhaps If we manage to mount the sdcard on our phone AND our PC we can do

cat modified.nbh > /PC/SDCARDMOUNTPOINT/original.nbh

we could overwrite the file just after the signature is checked and before the nbh gets loaded into the phone.

This, of course, could break the sdcard I think but what the hell, it's worth a try! I think I just need some cables to make this possible.

As for the sdcard extraction method that I "discovered" I want to apologise. Because of my eagerness when I got the "No sdcard found" on DIAG mode I thought it was trying to load the nbh but then I (and everyone who tested it) discovered that it was trying to read the sdcard in order to look for the rom to flash... :S

Sorry guys! I'l triple check everything from now on....
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Hey, no problem mate! We where all excited, it looked very good, so no blame for you! If everyone just waited for the rest, nothing will get done :-)

So keep up the good spirit!
[Wildfire General] :
That's ok lol. No need to apologise. That was much better actually. That process made us (or me actually) to know a newer thing. Most of us might be thinking in a wrong way that it was reading from the memory card after the update started. U really made it clear. Sometimes these things might accidentally give a good luck.

And nothing happened, we were just in a wrong opinion for sometime. And i yet admire ur thought of swapping the memory card. I have done some more things which im just posting.
[Wildfire General] :
Some more confirming things ...

Ok i made some more things with the previous memory card swapping process so as to know where the PC49IMG files are temporarily stored before being written to the partitions.... Everything in confusion. Nothing sure.

---Ok first i have done hard reset. Then checked the available free space from the phone settings menu where it shows 153 MB free. Ok, the third party applications can access only this 153 MB. Then if we check the available free space from any 3rd party application managers, it shows 153 MB free out of total 175 MB. Then what might be this 22 MB gap. Definately, this 22MB cannot be used by 3rd party apps. And definately this 22MB is not for android filesystem (since it cannot be that low). Is there a chance that this inaccessible 22MB is a reserve space for the temporary storage of PC49IMG files...?

---Ok, then i tried to fill up that accessible 153 MB by installing heavy apps to phone memory. I came upto a point of 50KB free space where the phone got heavily unstable. So now 153 MB is completely filled. Then i rebooted into hboot menu to go with the process. Here it checked the file and prompted to press vol up. Then i removed the mem card and pressed vol up and then it installed. So, this confirms that PC49IMG is not using the 153 MB memory. Actually my idea was, suppose if it uses the 153 MB, then if we fill it completely, will it read from the memory card (which is not possible).

So, the possibilities are PC49IMG might be using that 22 MB (or) any other inaccessible NAND memory (or) the RAM memory.

Whatever it is, if it is not using the accessible memory (i mean atleast to the 3rd party apps), then i think we can't do anything with it in this way. Ok fine, that's just my opinion.

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

OK IM JUST NOTING THE SEQUENCE OF STEPS OF THAT PC49IMG PROCESS HERE:

--Right after we enter the hboot mode, it says loading PC49IMG with a progress bar at the top right corner of screen. This is copying of the entire zip file to somewhere in the nand (or might be ram). Here the zip file is not extracted yet.

--Just after it copies the file, it says checking PC49IMG . This is the signature check. If the signature is verified correctly, it gives a prompt to install the software (prompt is press the vol up to install). And if there is an error verifying the signature, then it just enters the hboot screen without any installing.

--Then if u press the vol up, it does the process. All the partitions will be overwritten sequentially and not at once. The confirmational messages u see for each partition are UNZIPPING > UPDATING > OK ..

--After everything completes, it says press power to reboot. That's all
[Wildfire General] :
That's what we r talking about. It didn't work
[Wildfire General] n!k:
I am not too sure about this, but I may be wrong.

If you look at embedded linux devices, like my verbatim media center, dreambox, or even WD Live, I am pretty sure that the file system is quite small.

Also,

I don't know, but 22M seems enough to me to run the kernel and store a few files.
[Wildfire General] Mipery:
Umm, could someone explain why ur talking about hboot 1.01.0002? I have updated to official 2.2.1, but i still have hboot 1.01.0001? why is that?

Im new to android, so i dont know much about these hboot things. Im also assuming i still cant root, unless i would have hboot 0.80 ?
[Wildfire General] :
@n!k thanks for that info.....

Based upon the regions the official froyo ota has the hboot either 1.01.0001 or 1.01.0002 . The hboot of WWE unbranded froyo is 1.01.0001. Mine was 1.01.0002. I dont know if there are any other hboots like this. And i dont know if there are any differences in securities of these.

But definitely there is hboot 1.01.0002
[Wildfire General] Mipery:
Ok, thanks for info:) I live in Finland, and its 1.01.0001 here. I really hope HTC unlocks bootloaders or unrevoked succeeds.
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
New experiment any1 wanna try or already tried-

Download any OTA update,

Rename to update.zip

copy it to one gold memory card

copy one more to normal card but modify it like recovery, boot etc..

Goto recovery mode, insert gold card,

Select install update

It'll first verify it, after that when installation comes swap the memory card:)

Try it!

And yes, dont depend on htc to unlock bootloaders as if they do also it'll take months to arrive for each and every phone:)
[Wildfire General] :
Have u done that. I think we don't get a gap between signature verification and installation.

And im having one more doubt here. Will it atleast read from the memory card or will it first copy to phone memory.
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
I'm on the way home and ya i've seen that after i click install update when it comes opening file it takes just a second and start verification process, i dont think so it take one second to extract all files.:)
[Wildfire General] :
A word of caution here. AFAIK, overwriting the hboot is crucial thing. And if it gets interrupted it might brick the phone. Be careful. I think we should not remove the memory card after the writing process started. And sorry I don't have the extra memory card.
[Wildfire General] rseke:
I have one question,if i do sim unlock on my wildfire did i get s-off?
[Wildfire General] :
No. Both are totally different. That is not possible (and i dont know if reverse is possible or not).

S-OFF is breaking the write-protection of nand memory along with additional options like

--ruling out of signature check while making updates.

--fast boot flash support.

--support for having custom splash image.

and many other things
[Wildfire General] PaulW21781:
--ruling out of signature check while making updates.

........When a custom recovery is flashed, yes

--fast boot flash support.

........S-OFF does not give you extended fastboot command support, all it does is remove NAND protection and a few other 'security' items which locks things down even more, you either need an ENG HBOOT (there isn't one) or a modified HBOOT (wait for Alpharev) to gain full "flash" support from HBOOT.

--support for having custom splash image.

........Again, requires extended fastboot command support
[Wildfire General] :
I think that will be even without flashing the custom recovery.

I mean , "how are we able to flash the custom recovery through PC49IMG process just after making s-off"
[Wildfire General] xd.bx:
I don't get it. Isn't the last version of Android released by HTC for the Wildfire gingerbread? Which is vulnerable to Gingerbreak which gives you root?

Once you're root, you can simply flash_image a recovery. There's no eMMC, no NAND protection afaik.
[Wildfire General] poeken:
no Froyo is the latest version of android wildfire has
[Wildfire General] hans3103:
I have to say that HTC is very good in security on the hboot..... I bought an xtcclip months ago, but always read the threads about this subject. Keep up trying one day there will be a solution.
[Wildfire General] nicky041192:
Keep you the good work! Hope to see more progress!

can anyone make a metamorph or a flashable.zip for warm z that gives us stock sense 2.0 animations instead of the custom animations in warm .
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sunsean:
Alright, I searched and couldn't find any direct discussions about this - so I'm asking it here. Does using a home replacement app (i.e. Launcher Pro Plus) use a lot more battery life than just using the stock launcher? It means your phone is running an entire extra hungry app, so I assume it does. Does setting the replacement launcher as the default do anything in terms of what is running? Besides this, what can you do to minimize what extra battery drain there is?

From what I gather, a LOT of users are running some kind of home replacement, so I assume people have some good info. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Lakeshow423:
My battery life seems fine when I use ADW-EX or LPP. Customize your phone, use it like you want it then charge the hell out of it. Enjoy your phone...battery life disentangle last forever. Plus faux's kernel set on smartass is nice on any rom you use regardless if you use a home replacement launcher or not :D. I probably didn't answer your question...but just wanted to give some friendly advice.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sunsean:
Thanks for the tip! I'm actually about to finally root the phone. While I'd been using stock and happy with it, I never felt like I needed to, but now that I've found another home replacement that I love, I'm ready to jump in and start really setting her up. In just the 1 day I've been using LPP, it shows up pretty high in the battery usage, whereas that wasn't the case with the stock launcher, but it may be because I was fiddling with it all day to set it up. But I'm hoping setting CPU under/overclock will help optimize battery life. Between that and an extra battery I should be okay. I'll def check out the kernel, thx.

Do you recommend the Unlockr's method to root? Or the one in the resource thread in the development section?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] eliasadrian:
The unlocker method worked super easy for me. And with your original question, set the home replacement app to default and restart your phone and use it for a few min then go to settings, undo the defaults set for it, and then click the stock launcher when you hit the home button. You'll have to wait a sec cuz it has to load up, which in my head makes it seem like it never really started running while your replacement launcher is always used/default.

Dunno if that helps, but I think it makes sense and is helpful, hence the sharing :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sunsean:
That's a good point! I have noticed that, and it does make sense. When switching back to stock after using the replacement for a while, you DO have to wait for it to load. Hopefully that's an indication that it's not being active in the background.

And thanks for the advice on the Unlockr, that's where I went to root my MT3G, so I'll probably use them again for this one.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Nicgraner:
I'm not sure what method unlocker used but I recommend NOT using gfree just as a personal preference. Use the visionary method. It should be visionary r14 unless there's been an update.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sunsean:
Thanks, yeah I got Visionary and have temp-root, just have to finish it off now for perm-root.

This is a side-question - but now that I've got temp-root, I started fiddling around with setcpu, which I got when I had my rooted MT3G, and my max is 1024 MHz. Doesn't the MT4G go higher than that? Do you know how to enable the higher MHz?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] eliasadrian:
You have to have a kernel that allows it to go higher, I'm like 95% sure about that, ha (brainfart). Try Faux123's kernels, I use them and love them, but dumfuq also has a really good one.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Droid_duder:
I can place another vote in favor of the unlocker method. Worked great and easy for me. The higher speeds do require a different kernel. Stock is only good for 1024Mhz... Faux kernels are great!

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jdkoren:
Using a different launcher shouldn't have any drastic impact on your battery life. Maybe if you're using something like SPD Shell 3D which has lots of graphical bells and whistles, but even then I don't think it'll be noticeably bad. (Me personally, I use Go Launcher EX and love it.)

The major sources of battery consumption are GPS and heavy screen use. Leaving WiFi or bluetooth on when not in use also wastes battery because your phone will be scanning for connections. If you're in an area with weak signal, your phone will spend more energy maintaining connectivity than it would in areas with strong signal. If after all those considerations you notice abnormal battery drain, you may have an app that's misbehaving.

If you're rooted and want even more battery savings, you can flash a new kernel that allows the processor to run at lower frequencies when the phone is idle. You can also flash an undervolted kernel, meaning it will perform the same functions but use less battery to do so (not all phones can tolerate this, but I've had no problems on mine). Faux123 has great kernels posted in development.

This needs some clarification. VISIONary is used to gain temproot and then to permroot once you've run a necessary script. In theunlockr's method, the script is the root.sh file; in the gfree method, gfree is the script. You use VISIONary for both methods (unless you have something else for the temproot and permroot). Gfree is widely considered the better of the two because it can do many more things than root.sh can.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeench:
I have seen others post about this.. but I have never seen an answer to the question.

When I plug my phone in to charge it thinks its connected to the USB and wants me to mount it to my computer even though it is connected to the wall charger. I had this issue before but it went away by its self.

What is the cause of this?

Its slightly annoying, haha.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
make sure that the charger is inserted correctly to the phone's usb port. This also happens to me because my phone's usb port is a little loose.

[G Tablet General] sherwinsilv:
First off, I'm a happy, delighted, enthusiastic VEGAn-TAB 7 user now. Just loaded (followed the excellent directions) and what a difference. This is a totally new G-Tablet. A dazzling upgrade to the original 3588 stock (that I had upgraded to from the 3389 that came with the G-Tablet when I got it from TigerDirect last week.

Anyway, I got really tired of constantly dragging the finger across the screen (let alone the constant cleaning necessary to clean that screen - of course it's a touch screen, Sherwin), so connected my Microsoft IntelliMouse base to the USB port and the freewheeling mouse separate and no cables. And, it works great! Moves quickly (much faster than with my finger for sure) from screen to screen and from icon to icon and selecting icons without leaving fingerprints and I'm a happy camper. It operates much much faster and more easily than when used on my PC desktop (since replaced with a wireless Logitech mouse and keyboard).

I'm using the GSAstore ViewSonic G-Tablet Case and USB Keyboard with Kick Stand (purchased through Amazon). A really nice keyboard, keys large enough and spaced nicely so you can really type as well as on a full size keyboard (and me with my bulky fingers having no difficulty at all).

Connected everything up to a USB 2.0 4 port hub powered off of the USB connection to the G-Tablet.
