You are correct - it doesn't actually install Android to your phone, persay. The INSTALL.exe file merely extracts the initial android software packages to the EXT2 partition you created on your SD card. It doesn't install as a program.

To "uninstall" it, it is as simple and rebooting in Android - unless you configured your phone to automatically boot into Android when it boots WinMo (I'm sure you didn't), it will boot into WinMo, not Android. To remove Android completely, simply reformat your SD card, making sure to backup files you need, and to remove the EXT2 and Linux Swap partitions you created.

As for good WinMo builds, I was a user of Christian's build's for a while (christian-web.nl/sections.php?section=Xperia_rom). They were very stable for me, had a lot of great programs preloaded. I realized how great it is to have a ROM that already has all the programs I need installed; it saves a lot of time.

If you plan on trying to use exclusively Android, you might as well use any pure/light build - something that boots fast, seeing as you have to boot two OSes to get to Android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danootz:
I'm using CM7 Nightly #39

Widgetlocker advises disabling Theme Chooser. Does disabling it mean to jus to make sure the current selected theme is the System Theme?

If so, I have SYSTEM set as my current theme, I install Widgetlocker and suddenly the screen dims and I have to fight with my EVO to let me get in. Eventually my pattern unlock screen appears and I can go in. I go to Widgetlocker and try to configure it, but when I try to navigate through sub menus, it just refuses to go to the next submenu and if it does, I can't scroll through the menu of choices.

What am I doing wrong? Is Widgetlocker just not functional on CM7 (latest nightlies?)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
I have one major issue with the thunderbolt and it is 100% a software issue. I believe ASOP roms or desensed roms may fix the issue and would like someone to verify before I purchase.

The issue is as follows:

* Plug in Normal headphones or aux cable without a inline mic and attempt to make a phone call or receive one....the other side cannot hear you till you either put them on speakerphone or unplug your headset/aux cable.

* All other Mic required application will still work Google V search, Skype, etc, just the built in dialer doesn't.

What I'm interested in:

* People with custom roms/kernels testing above and letting me know if the Mic isn't getting muted for them when they "Plug in Normal headphones or aux cable without a inline mic and attempt to make a phone call or receive one"

* What Rom/kernels you are using.

That's not going to stop it suffering shock damage and the silicone case will NOT protect the phone to that much of an extent. *!&*%

I'm guessing that dirt has probably got on to the inside made worse by your throwing the phone onto the ground (I hope that's a joke I really do....)

my desire hd fall yesterday and my camera open in black screen nothing work

[Desire HD General] dceightfive:
I agree with this but to me it looks like maybe small pieces of broken plastic or glass between the lens.. the only way to remove this would be to open the phone and clean it out, I wouldn't recommend doing this yourself though.. maybe try to contact your local HTC repair centre and see if they would be able to do this for you.

@ronalgps: sounds like you have maybe dislodged the camera or broken the connection in some way from the fall.. as I said above try to contact your local HTC repair centre and see if they can fix this for you.

on one of the fallings, they disappear, but then, they came back :(

Download Rom Manager to your pc. Then transfer it to the root of your sd card, and open it with a file explorer (like astro). It will ask you if you want to install the application (make sure your phone settings allow you to install non market apps). Click yes, and Rom Manager will be installed. Then open Rom Manager and one of the top menu items is...."Flash Custom Recovery". Do this, then back up your current Rom, and flash away after that.

When you went in to the Access Point Names section of the phone, did you adjust the values in both sections? There is an Internet section, and an MMS section.

If that doesn't solve your issue I have no idea what it could be. Might be a rom issue. If you still can't get it working, maybe ask someone in Darky's thread in the development section.

Hello all,

I have a Sprint HTC Hero that I may have utterly destroyed.

It will not boot normally or into recovery (stays at white HTC screen for hours)

So I have a bad ROM and a messed up recovery partition...

I've tried various RUUs and all of them end of with the same Error 131 Customer ID Error.

I've tried putting HERCIMG.zip directly onto the sdcard and running HBOOT - It finds the file, but I get the same (similar?) error: CID Incorrect! Update Fail!

Alas, this phone is S-ON...

My last resort is trying to recreate a goldcard:

I put the original SD card into another device and found the CID with this command:

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid

However, I am not sure if I have done this correctly... the SD card will mount as a Removable Device, but when I try RUU or HBOOT from /sdcard/ it gives the exact same error.

When connected through USB, adb does not pick up the device, but fastboot does...

I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Thanks in advance for any helps and suggestions!

*another interesting note: It has no touch panel...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Ok, so you mount your sd card, THEN try to RUU? If that's what you're doing, don't mount the SD. Also, try running the RUU.exe, if fastboot sees the phone it should work (note the .exe, not .zip). Report back.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazeeazndude:
No, I have no way of mounting... It will only go into bootloader (HBOOT/FASTBOOT).

When I try to RUU, it's through FASTBOOT USB.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Are you running the .exe from htc? Or trying to flash a .zip?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazeeazndude:
.exe from htc. I can't flash a zip from recovery because I have no recovery.

I've tried fastboot flash zip, but it says remote not allowed

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazeeazndude:

I know a lot of the small carriers like credo, cell south, alltel, and others USE the larger networks, but their OE state is not the same, after all, if you bought a new shiny hero from credo and your status bar and lockscreen said sprint, that would be a little strange no? I would say since you are have a CID error it is likely because of the whole credo/sprint thing.

I don't know why I did but I googled around for a few minutes and came up with this page which says something about CID error and branded phones and different RUU blah blah blah. Here's a link, use at your own risk, be careful.

WARNING = I DID NOT UNZIP THOSE AND LOOK AT THE RADIO, IT MIGHT BE A GSM RADIO WHICH WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollex:
(I know there is some topics here in similar subject, but I'm having desire z with lid structure and the phone was in the water only for a short time)

I know it's not smart to take expensive smart phone to toilet with you, especially when the phone is on your hand. Well, I wen't to take a leak and the phone slipped off my left hand and dropped straight to the dirty water in the toilet seat. Picked it up immediately, it was in the water about 1-3 seconds.

The screen was on before getting wet and turned immediately off, the lights on front flashed couple of seconds and I took battery and simcard out immediately. Shaked it a bit and tried to dry it with paper and left it on the towel which was on the warm radiator.

I have googled now a long time and got very different solutions... I'm not going to try any of them since some of the solutions are clearly by trolls. I'm not going to put my phone to the water or sack of rice, I'm not going to use hair dryer since I don't have one. I don't think I have rice either...

What is to be done here? Is my phone dead and gone... ? I had it about a month and I'm scared if it doesn't work any more. I use it both in work and home and this is really bad situation for me.

I made first mistake and tried turn the phone on too soon, about under an hour since the accident. As soon as I put the battery on I got the dim orange led light, the screen was black. When pressed the power button it vibrated three (3) times and nothing happened. I then took the battery and SIM off again and put it back on the radiator. Now I'm going to have it there until tomorrow morning I go to work. If it's still not working, I have to use my Nokia E90 since I get it fixed or.... I have to buy the new phone... damn it.

While waiting, any solutions available? Warranty is not covering this for sure.

And please, do not start conversation about "why phone in the toilet?" or things like that. The accident already happened and there is no point thinking "why"? I learned my lesson and this is the first time in my gadget history when something dumb like this happens... I feel like I have won in the lottery, same chances...

I had rooted Virtuous and I'm from Finland if it counts something...
